Einfach ein Ei!

Mitten auf den Augustusplatz. Eine Gedenktafel

Okay, ein goldenes Ei. Das nach etwas Recherche offenbar mehr kann, als nur ein goldenes Ei zu sein. Es schlägt montags um 18:35 Uhr in Erinnerung an den Beginn der Montagsdemonstration am 9. Oktober 1989, an anderen Tagen zufällig. Soweit schön. Auf der Tafel dazu nehmen die (finanziellen) Unterstützer deutlich mehr Platz ein als die Beschreibung des Werks selber. Hat immer so ein Geschmäckle für mich. Bin zwiegespalten bei dieser neuen Form der "Selbstbeweihräucherungskunst" im öffentlichen Raum.
