Crazy Horse at Biennale

The 5th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, "When Things Cast No Shadow," opened to the public. Cyprien Gaillard's film "Crazy Horse," projected at Skulpturenpark Berlin Zentrum, a semi-abandoned no-man's land in Kreuzberg, shows the drawn-out process of a memorial monument to the Lakota leader Crazy Horse in the Black Hills of South Dakota. According to the program, "Cyprien Gaillard's film Crazy Horse is a tribute to the sculpture-in-the-making of Crazy Horse in the Black Hills of South Dakota. In 1948 the sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, invited by the leader of the Sioux, began a sculpture to honor the Lakota leader Crazy Horse and Mother Nature. This monument, which will take approximately another eighty years to complete, will then be the biggest sculpture in the world. The dynamite used by builders when carving the figure into the mountains of the Black Hills, located beside Mount Rushmore, has wreaked destruction and chaos in the national park. The French composer and former opera singer Koudlam, who has collaborated on several projects with Gaillard, composed the music the artist's most recent film."
