A new exhibit focused on the fall of the Berlin Wall is opening next week at Union Station Kansas City. <\/p>\n
The exhibit, titled \u201cBerlin Wall: A World Divided,\u201d explores the history and impact of the wall that separated East and West Berlin for nearly three decades before its collapse in 1989.<\/p>\n
Part of the exhibit includes a large interactive sculpture called \u201cThe Space Between Us,\u201d created by local Hallmark artist and sculptor Chris Duh.<\/p>\n
Duh and his team spent Thursday assembling the centerpiece installation, which will stand 13 feet tall inside Union Station.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt creates more of this idea that hopefully we can continue in the future going in that direction,\u201d Duh said.<\/p>\n
The sculpture uses mirrored and fragmented design elements meant to symbolize division while also encouraging reflection and connection.<\/p>\n
\u201cA feeling that there\u2019s hope,\u201d Duh said.<\/p>\n
The exhibit will allow visitors to leave written messages and personal reflections around the installation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt really was finding a way to interpret that we\u2019re looking at fragmentation,\u201d Duh said. \u201cAnd represented in the mirror, you kind of break it down into key components.\u201d<\/p>\n
Duh said the project combines both artistic vision and engineering.<\/p>\n
\u201cUltimately, at the end of the day, it\u2019s one part conceptual and then one part fabrication techniques and materials to make it come to life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new exhibit focused on the fall of the Berlin Wall is opening next week at Union Station…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":89147,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[99],"tags":[39789,10558,33850,112,47212,12854,12708,47225,47204,3631,3632,47220,14829,47211,2059,25945,47224,28841,440,47218,12710,43768,190,47203,47219,43765,47210,47207,1193,9670,43767,3452,37843,737,8922,38815,12713,47216,47226,47206,12405,47208,47214,6237,47209,47223,47222,6350,47215,10996,47202,47221,47228,3359,47213,10916,1411,1413,38814,12711,43775,47205,47227,10778,47217],"class_list":["post-89146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-berlin","tag-art-installation","tag-artist","tag-artwork","tag-berlin","tag-berlin-exhibit","tag-berlin-history","tag-berlin-wall","tag-centerpiece-installation","tag-chris-duh","tag-cold-war","tag-cold-war-history","tag-community-art","tag-connection","tag-cultural-exhibit","tag-culture","tag-division","tag-duh","tag-east","tag-education","tag-educational-exhibit","tag-exhibit","tag-exhibit-opening","tag-germany","tag-hallmark","tag-historic-event","tag-historical","tag-historical-display","tag-historical-exhibit","tag-history","tag-hope","tag-immersive","tag-immersive-experience","tag-impact","tag-installation","tag-interactive","tag-interactive-exhibit","tag-kansas-city","tag-kansas-city-art","tag-kansas-city-artist","tag-kc-events","tag-life","tag-local-artist","tag-mirrored-sculpture","tag-museum","tag-museum-exhibit","tag-new-berlin-wall","tag-new-exhibit","tag-part","tag-permanent-installation","tag-public-art","tag-reflection","tag-reflective-artwork","tag-sculptor-chris-duh","tag-sculpture","tag-sculpture-design","tag-thursday","tag-tourism","tag-travel","tag-traveling-exhibit","tag-union-station","tag-union-station-exhibit","tag-unity","tag-west-berlin","tag-world-cup","tag-world-history"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89146"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89146\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
