Art and sculpture trail

The PURPLE PATH is an exhibition of contemporary art in the open air. It unfolds in the region around Chemnitz, in Central Saxony, the Ore Mountains and the Zwickau region. Stars of the contemporary art scene such as Leiko Ikemura, Monika Sosnowska, Jeppe Hein and Michael Sailstorfer meet up with relevant Saxons such as Jana Gunstheimer, Via Lewandowsky and documenta artist Olaf Holzapfel. Chemnitz artists such as Johann Belz, Gregor-Torsten Kozik and Michael Morgner have remained largely unknown in the West. Here, their works meet those of international classics such as Daniel Buren, Alice Aycock or James Turrell. The PURPLE PATH was curated by Alexander Ochs.
