In 1972, Morton Feldman wrote a score for the chapel which had been conceived by his friend Mark Rothko, a monument of abstract expressionism in painting. Around this score and in the form of a ‘static procession’ are placed more recent works of which a creation by Banjamin Attahir (born in 1989) and by Gregor Mayhofer ( born in 1987), inspired by works of art installed in public spaces.
