WILD creative urge, news, determination, efficiency, community and quality are the 6 titles that covers the Speed art installation The Foot, which in less than a day was erected on Store Torv in connection with Culture Night Aarhus 14th October 2011.
The Foot was built on Store Torv from the early morning on October 14 in a carefully planned building process of 50 professional craftsmen who voluntarily threw themselves into the project. The Foot measured L: 13 m and 1m at the lowest point and 7m at its highest. The project included 17 km 2.4 mm boards and the shoe fit a foot size 1950
The Foot was lit at night and remained for 1 week to kick off the new footprint in the cultural landscape of Aarhus, a footprint that converge well with the ambition of Aarhus and the central Jutland Region, to become European Capital of Culture 2017 under the theme Rethink. An ambition, which was met in the summer of 2012 in fierce competition with Sønderborg.
Thanks to those who have stayed with and supported the crazy project. Volunteers as business people.
