hey, hello…
these are the comments made by the woman from the LandesverwaltungsAmt (Gauforum) made in regard to the jeep being parked on their property:
First, that all the property is theirs and public art is great, but you should ask for permission…
Then, that the Gauforum has such an ugly history in itself that they need to watch out about what messages are being sent and that she didn’t understand what this Russian military jeep is supposed to mean.
also, that recently the public access to the building, which was always permitted has been removed and quite a few people were upset about it. in these regards this symbol of military protection might be seen within that context…and could cause further reactions from the public.oh, she also was warning about a possible problem with the police in case your shopping cart was ’stolen’ from a supermarket….
i think that was roughly it.
