Discover the fascinating story behind the Quiet Room in front of the United Nations Security Council's meeting room!
In 1978, Günter Fruhtrunk, together with the architect Paolo Nestler, designed the "Quiet Room" in front of the United Nations Security Council. Although the room should actually serve to offer the council members a way to relax between the sessions, Frihtrunk had a different intention. His goal was to create a contrast through its design and to force those seeking rest to make communicative efforts here too. Fruhtrunk thus wanted to consciously create object and provoke an active examination of the room.This special approach by Günter Fruhtrunk is also reflected in other works by the artist and shows his pursuit of innovation and challenge of conventional concepts. His artistic vision went beyond the purely aesthetic design and aimed at creating emotions and food for thought to the viewer. The "Quiet Room" is therefore not only a place of calm, but also a place of active discussion and intellectual dialogue.
The cooperation between Günter Fruhtrunk and Paolo Nestler in the design of the "Quiet Room" illustrates the importance of artistic freedom and the pursuit of new forms of communication by art. Their interpretation of space as a place of contradiction and the challenge of traditional ideas shows the creative strength and willingness of the artists.
The work of Günter Fruhtrunk in the Museum Wiesbaden offers visitors the opportunity to deal with the unique artistic vision of the artist and to look at his works in a new light. The design of the "Quiet Room" is an example of Fruhtrunk's ability to create not only aesthetic, but also intellectual stimuli and to actively involve the viewer in the creative process.
