Switzerland. Canton Graubünden. Davos. Ernst Kirchner Museum. Kirchner Park. An elderly man kneels and takes with his smartphone a picture of a blue sheep. In order to promote a peaceful coexistence and tolerance beyond all religious and cultural differences, the artists Bertamaria Reetz and Rainer Bonk had in 2009 the idea of the bluesheepfarm project and creates the "Blue Flock of Peace". The blue sheep is made of cast resin, weather and frost resistant. Their color is UV resistant. Each blue sheep is unique, handcrafted and a faithful, authorized reproduction of the work BLAUSCHAF (c) R. Bonk, 2001. Each sheep is hand-dyed and packed in the Köln-Poll workshops for people with mental disabilities. The project is about art, social issues and tolerance. Since 2009 as a short-term art event by the artists Bertamaria Reetz and Rainer Bonk, a flock of 50 to 100 of bluesheep has been stationed in European major and smaller cities participating in the campaign as part of a European exhibition tour. The blue as a color of peace finds its equivalent in the blue of the EU, the UN, UNESCO or UNICEF. It is the color of the European peace movement. Every city that grants grazing rights becomes part of the art project and thus documents social responsibility. As a thank you, a "Blue Pass" will remain in the town hall of the respective city. Not only cities and municipalities, but also cultural institutions, companies and private individuals can participate in the art project of the Blue Flock of Peace and buy individual sheep. Part of the revenue from the sale of blue sheep goes into the promotion of social projects. 12.09.2020 © 2020 Didier Ruef
