Art Project 2025 – “Gils Bells”

In 2025, the GRASSMAYR Bell Foundry had the pleasure of realizing a special art project in collaboration with Viennese architects and artist Christoph Meier: a sound installation composed of bells, plates, and bowls for an agricultural school in Luxembourg. We sincerely thank everyone involved for the inspiring and successful collaboration, especially: Christoph Meier, Vienna (Gils Bells, 2025); Lycée Technique Agricole Gilsdorf, Luxembourg; Photos: Ruben Mahler

The students designed the five bells themselves and created the molds for the wax decorations.
The artistic reliefs depict symbols from their everyday agricultural life – horseshoes, tools, tractor tracks, and more.
