Marc Leuthold at Marble and Sound Symposium in Arandjelovac, Serbia

Marc Leuthold and Ivan Djordjevic

In August 2020, at the invitation of artist and professor, Dr. Ljubica Jocic-Knezevic, Marc Leuthold participated in the three-week Marble and Sound Symposium – now in it’s 55 year.  This symposium is held in a 150-year-old park enclosing mineral springs and studded with marble sculptures created in the last half-century.  While there, in Arandjelovac, Serbia, Leuthold created a large marble sculpture with numerous apertures that reveal a collection of porcelain sculptures inside.  The sculpture, his first public work of art, will be installed in the park in 2021.  Many thanks to Symposium Director Katarina Perovic and stone mason, Ivan Djordjevic who were instrumental in carrying out an ambitious plan in record time.
