Fredag den 10. januar ryger tre farvestrålende kunstflag til tops i Kunsthal Aarhus’ skulpturpark. Flagene er skabt af den japanske kunstner Ay-O, der var en central skikkelse i den eksperimenterende Fluxus-bevægelse i 1960’erne og 70’erne. Ay-O er blandt andet kendt for sin ”regnbue happening” i Eiffeltårnet tilbage i 1987, hvor et 300 meter langt regnbueflag blev installeret i toppen.
→ Flaghejsning kl. 15
→ Efterfølgende åbningstale ved Malene Wagner
