Glasmalerei Museum Linnich
The “Art Route of Tolerance” connects three locations: the German Stained Glass Museum in Linnich, the Burgenmuseum in Nideggen, and the International Art Academy in Heimbach.
At each location, the theme of tolerance takes center stage, explored from a unique perspective each time.
The inter-institutional project “Art Route of Tolerance” will open its first exhibition on Sunday, July 5, at 11:30 a.m. at the German Stained Glass Museum. At the heart of the expansive installation are distinctive, large-scale, abstract human sculptures made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic, presented in conjunction with large-format glass cubes. This constellation visualizes a commitment to social cohesion, tolerance, and dialogue. The installation in Linnich is specifically intended to address the inherent fragility of values such as openness and the capacity for dialogue.
The exhibition at the Burgenmuseum Nideggen opens on Sunday, September 27, at 11:30 a.m.; the presentation at the Internationale Kunstakademie Heimbach follows on Sunday, November 8, also at 11:30 a.m. While the installation in Nideggen focuses on human dignity, the exhibition in Heimbach explores the complexities surrounding liberation.
The artist, Ernesto Marques, incorporates both monochrome (gray) and colorful sculptures into his installations. The gray figures symbolize negative social aspects such as discrimination, sadness, and isolation. In contrast, the colorful figures embody positive qualities such as tolerance, dignity, and diversity.Born in Portugal in 1975, painter and sculptor Ernesto Marques moved to Germany during his art studies, where he eventually settled permanently. Today, he works as a freelance artist in Jülich and has established himself beyond the regional borders of his new home country through his vibrant international and national exhibition activities.
