Berlin, Germany. 7th August 2016. Artist, Rainer Opolka’s has installed 66 bronze wolves at the Washington Square at the entrance to Berlin’s main railway station. The artist attempts to make the public aware of the dangers of racism. The recent violent attacks in Germany have provoked a response by right wing groups who are anti-immigration and challenge Chancellor Angela Merkel’s refugee policy. The artist appeals to the public to recognise the difference between terrorism and people who are escaping terrorism. The artwork, Wölfe sind zurück, consists of 66 giant bronze wolves each weighing 250Kgs. There are eight different designs - the gold leader salutes his followers, the blind-folded wolves represent the mob, and wolves armed with guns represent the NSU - a neo-nazi group responsible for xenophobic murders in the early 2000s. Germany’s art world has become increasingly involved in the political debate. Christa Joo Hyun D’Angelo’s film 'Past Present Tense’ presents interviews with people who have experienced racism in the capital city, Artist Ai Weiwei recently draped Berlin’s concert hall with 14, 000 refugee life jackets and the 'Center for Political Beauty' collective launched a political campaign called ‘Eating Refugees’ outside the Maxim Gorki Theatre. The work challenged the law that prevents refugees from flying into the EU without a visa and results in dangerous attempts to arrive by land and water. In Stuttgart, artist Candice Breitz’s 'Love Story' features Hollywood actors, Alec Baldwin and Julianne Moore. The work is based on and is supported by extensive interviews with six refugees who describe the events that led to the departure from their homelands and the perilous journeys that ensued.
