site-specific intervention in the public space, <\/strong>2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hotel Vladimir, <\/strong>Ust\u00ed nad Labem, Czech Republic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mir (Peace) is a public intervention in which Grubi\u0107 modified the neon sign atop the Hotel Vladimir in \u00dast\u00ed nad Labem, Czech Republic. Built in the 1980s as a tribute to the friendship between the twin cities of \u00dast\u00ed nad Labem and Vladimir in Russia (then part of the Soviet Union), the hotel originally displayed the full city name. Grubi\u0107 altered the sign to light up only the last three letters of Vladimir, forming Mir\u2014meaning Peace in many Slavic languages. Positioned in the city center, the sign was visible to passersby at night from various angles. This subtle intervention transformed the original political symbol into a message of peace, which Grubi\u0107 considers a \u201cprecondition for well-being, common prosperity, and solidarity in economically and socially troubled times.\u201d Following Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, \u00dast\u00ed nad Labem became home to many Ukrainian refugees, some of whom stayed at the Hotel Vladimir, further shaping its symbolic meaning.<\/p>\n
