Rejected art

Sep 2021

The upside-down church by American Dennis Oppenheim was introduced in the Venice Biennale of 1997. Brought back to America it was moved three times from New York to Stanford to Vancouver, Canada but didn't find a permanent home because of it's controversy. In Catholic Palma it has been placed near Es Baluard, the Contemporary Art Museum.

Oops upside your head.

Oct 2017 • Couples

Stumbled across this while walking around Palma. Device to Root Out Evil is a 25-foot, tilted, upside-down, New England-style church with its steeple thrust into the ground and base raised up high as if to invite scrutiny from the heavens.Its also known as The Inverted Church.

It was designed by American sculptor Dennis Oppenheim, a pioneer of the 'Land Art' movement, who had strong links with Palma until his death in 2011.

There are a few copies of the original sculpture dotted around the globe. I wouldn't go out of my way to see it but a nice photo opportunity if you find it.

Filled a spare 3 minutes

Oct 2017 • Family

If you are bored of Palma's eating, shopping and generally milling around, or have a few spare minutes, then you can come and look at this sculpture next to the road. It looks like an upside down church, probably as that is what it is meant to be.
There is a kids playground nearby and a cafe with no toilets. My son was desperate for a wee, so we used the bushes near the cafe.

Cute and Close to other nice things

Jul 2017 • Couples

Cute, funny. It's a nice free sight, but not worth traveling to for itself. If you are nearby you should have a look, don't bother traveling for it alone though.

Upside down

Oct 2019

One of many sculptures dotted around the city, unfortunately it has been defaced by graffiti, better to view it in the evening when it is lit up.

Bit disturbing

Sep 2019 • Couples

Idea is a bit weird as the steeple of the church points to hell and not heaven. Not sure I really get the purpose!

Surprise

Apr 2018 • Couples

An upside-down, New England-style church built with its steeple in the ground. Totally surprised to see it - later I read that it visited few places before it came to Mallorca.
Dennis Openheim, the creator says: “It's a very simple gesture that's made here, simply turning something upside-down. One is always looking for a basic gesture in sculpture, economy of gesture: it is the simplest, most direct means to a work. Turning something upside-down elicits a reversal of content and pointing a steeple into the ground directs it to hell as opposed to heaven.”
