This is already evident in the many events for the anniversary weekend, but it is even more strikingly demonstrated by the artistic work of Rosemary Mayer. On May 9 and 10, the SCHIRN will present \u201cConnections (Frankfurt),\u201d an ephemeral art event dedicated to the connections \u2013 as the title suggests \u2013 between art, people, and places.<br><br>This participatory project was developed as early as 1978 by the US-American artist Rosemary Mayer. Born in New York in 1943, she began her career in the 1960s \u2013 a period of intense upheaval in which artistic forms of expression such as Minimalism, Conceptual Art, and performance art were establishing themselves and further evolving. Among the contemporaries in whose circle Mayer worked were well-known figures such as Sol LeWitt, Adrian Piper, and Richard Serra. She was also married for a while to the architect and installation artist Vito Acconci. Amid this dynamic scene, Mayer developed an independent artistic approach early on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-offset-2 col-xs-10'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/awarewomenartists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/portrait-rosemary-mayer-aware-women-artists-artistes-femmes-jpg.webp\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Portrait of Rosemary Mayer in her studio, ca. 1975<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/awarewomenartists.com\/en\/artiste\/rosemary-mayer\/\">awarewomenartists.com<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-medien-bild-text-links-grosses-bild-rechts-option-headline'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-1'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 col-md-6  mobile-margin-bottom-4'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-1 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12'>\n\n<div  class='mobile-margin-bottom-5'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4 ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">The Beauty of the Moment \u2013 Rosemary Mayer\u2019s Temporary Monuments<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>While she devoted herself in the 1970s to wall-based works composed of multi-layered draped fabric panels, Mayer quickly turned to an increasingly performative and conceptual approach. She was particularly drawn to aspects of transience and temporality: as a result, her later projects are often characterized by their ephemeral nature and the use of transient materials \u2013 such as snow, wax, or helium balloons. Likewise, from the mid-1970s onward, she increasingly shifted her work into public space, where weather conditions and interaction with viewers had a direct impact on the work. For Mayer, however, these projects retained a sculptural character, even if they did not remain permanently in the space. She referred to them as \u201cTemporary Monuments,\u201d thereby expanding the then-prevailing forms of installation art \u2013 such as earthworks and post-minimalist works \u2013 to include a time-based, ephemeral dimension. <br><br>In addition, Mayer began to take a greater interest in the connections between people, places, and their stories. Rather than creating lasting objects, she became increasingly focused on making relationships visible \u2013 between personal experiences and collective memories, between space and time. Her aim was to use her art to facilitate encounters and to make community something that could be experienced as an open-ended, ongoing process. \u201cConnections\u201d combines Mayer\u2019s ephemeral approach with her interest in community and encounters through and with art.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-offset-2 col-xs-10'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/chertluedde.com\/nuovo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022.03.07_Rosemary-Mayer-094.jpg\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Rosemary Mayer, \u201cGalla Placidia\u201d, 1973;\u00a0Ways of Attaching,\u00a0Installation view at Ludwig Forum, Aachen, 2022<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/chertluedde.com\/exhibition\/rosemary-mayer-ways-of-attachingcurated-by-eva-birkenstockludwig-forum-for-international-art-aachen5-march-22-may-2022\/\">chertluedde.com<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/medien-bild-zentriert'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-md-offset-3 col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-1'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/chertluedde.com\/nuovo\/wp-content\/uploads\/1979\/02\/19.-SnowPeople_slide54.jpg\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Rosemary Mayer, \u201cSnow People\u201d, 1979<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/chertluedde.com\/artist\/rosemary-mayer\/\">chertluedde.com<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline show-optional-headline toggle-optional-button' data-pattern='ho\/text-option-headline-button'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">Connections between time and space, sky and earth<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>As with many of her ephemeral and participatory works, Mayer first developed the concept on paper; a sort of project sketch consisting of text and drawings. However, the work was not realized before her death in 2014. It was not until 2023 in Los Angeles that \u201cConnections\u201d was brought to life, based on Mayer\u2019s archival material.<br><br>To mark the SCHIRN\u2019s 40th anniversary, \u201cConnections\u201d is now being presented in Germany for the first time. For this event, the SCHIRN has joined forces with ten institutions and neighbourhood associations based in Frankfurt at its temporary location in Bockenheim. On May 9, ten helium-filled, colorfully decorated balloons will be installed around the SCHIRN and suspended at a height of approximately 3 meters. They symbolize the forging of connections \u2013 to place, time, and history \u2013 and the celebration of individuals and communities. The partners, including many local initiatives and cultural associations, will each dedicate a balloon to a person, inscribing it with that person\u2019s name, a significant date, a star constellation, and a flower native to Hesse. In this way, \u201cConnections (Frankfurt)\u201d not only connects the SCHIRN with local communities and individuals, but also highlights its connection to the cosmos and to local flora. This creates a conceptually dense network around the SCHIRN, allowing visitors to experience the relationships with human and non-human actors in new ways. Interested visitors are invited to the activation of the artwork on May 9, thereby becoming part of \u201cConnections (Frankfurt)\u201d themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col
