E. H. Wilson: Criminals awaiting execution, 1899-1910. Tied to a cross-shaped frame, two criminals wait to be moved to the scene of their death. The queue was passed through a hole in the top of the vertical post to keep the body in position, and a rope around the neck was twisted until strangulation occurred.

Late 20th century folk art mural, now sadly faded, on a gable end at the junction of Main Street and Chapel Street/Barrack Hill.
The left-hand part of the mural shows Fr Sweeney as prisoner, being driven into town in his own cart on the morning of his execution, on Fair Day, 8 June 1799. The right-hand side of the mural depicts him standing on a low table under the Market Crane or derrick from which he was about to be hanged.
Fr Manus Sweeney was executed by the British roughly a year after the abortive rising by the United Irishmen in 1798. It seems that he, as a Catholic priest who had received part of his religious education at the Irish College in France in the 1780s, supported the aims of the rebels as well as acting as interpreter for officers in General Humbert's small French invasion force. Around 1100 French army regulars had landed at Kilcummin near Killala in late August 1798 and, swelled by local Irish recruits, went on to inflict defeats on the Anglo-Irish forces at Castlebar and Collooney before being routed by a far stronger force at Ballinamuck, Co Longford, less than three weeks later. By late September 1798 the Rising was suppressed throughout Ireland and 'mopping up' operations were underway to round up those who had fought with or supported the rebels.
Fr Sweeney went on the run when the British returned to re-take key rebel towns in Co Mayo; he was not apprehended until May 1799, when betrayal by a former friend appears to have led to his capture on Achill Island. He was put on trial in Castlebar, where testimony from a local landowner and an influential Church of Ireland cleric helped to condemn him on the capital charge of treason during the 'year of the French'.
After his execution, Fr Sweeney's body was supposed to have been taken back to his native Achill for burial. However folk history relates that the horses drawing the cart with his body stopped dead a short distance outside Newport, near Burrishoole Abbey, and refused to go further. The carter decided to stop for the night, and by a strange coincidence a newly dug grave was discovered in the nave of the abandoned abbey. Taking this as a sign that Fr Sweeney was to be honoured with an abbey burial, local people duly interred him there. A memorial was later erected to him on the spot; there are several shots of this on Flickr.
The parish church
Design and construction
Machegg is documented have been founded in 1268 by Bohemian King Ottokar. Only ten years later, he fell in the battle against Rudolf of Habsburg in Dürnkrut. The city was therefore never fully developed. The Gothic parish church, dedicated to the Holy Margaretha, was not completed. To execution came just the choir - and as georradar measurments in 1998 resulted - the foundations of the long house. It was also determined by this deep investigations, that the portapoint (line between the portal) of the planned nave is over 7 meters outside the entrance of today's church (tower). The choir meets in the floor plan to that of the Dome of Wiener Neustadt, a mighty cathedral was Ottokar's plan!
This portalpoint (after DI . Dr. E. Reidinger) is als urban planning point of reference. The church is in the axle geometry of the city involved, and therefore the key to the entire system concept and founding date .
At that time, living and belief are a unit, such as state and church. The planning of the city is closely linked with that of the church. Eastern to Marchegg is the holy day, by which the town was entrusted to the divine protection and blessings.
In 1268 fell the green thursday, standding at the beginning of the passion, death and finally the resurrection of jesus christ on the 5th april. On that day, so reveals the bent axis of our parish, the long house was oriented in the direction of sunrise. 8 april 1268 (Easter Sunday ) was then the orientation of the choir as part of a sacred act.
Reidinger: "The reconstructed construction plan of the city and the orientation of the church with the bent axis give the answer to the date of the founding of the city.
What great importance does this mean to the churchbuilding! in the resurrection liturgy (long time on Easter Sunday early in the morning hours celebrated) shines the rising sun through the middle window into the dark church interior! Christ is risen!
As Rudolf I in the year 1278 achieved the mighty victory over King Ottokar, he gave in grateful remembrance of the fact that God, "not far from the church to marche field (Marchfeld)e", him rescued from the deadly danger, including the space along with bridge in front of the mill. In the donation letter issued by him he takes the church with their possessions under his special protection.

In the year 1506 came the former parish priest of Stillfried, Johannes Syndel as pastor to Marchegg.
In the Protestant Reformation protestant estate owner salm and landau monopolized the patronage and put in preacher.
The transfer of the reign earl Paul Pálffy took place on 26 May 1621 and in the course of the Counter-Reformation the condition take care of the parish and abolish the preachers in said place. Pallfy vowed further only to allow the Catholic religion in Marchegg.
Probably the parish from the end of the fifteenth century has been administrated by the former P. Paulinern of Mariathal (marianka - Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit) in Slovakia. From there came a priest all months for pastoral work to Marchegg. Because due to the floods often no priest appeared, Pálffy 1632 war looking for a world-priest. However, because of the poor pay and the many damage to the church and the parsonage, he could not get one for some time until Pater Sebastian Kempf finally in the year 1634 here was delegated by by the order of Saint Paul.

According to Kaleme website, Hamid Ghassemi-Shall and his family have been informed of his imminent execution during this week’s visit at Evin Prison.
Hamid Ghassemi-Shall, 42, was arrested in 2008 while visiting his family, and was later charged with espionage.
He was sentenced to death in 2009. An Iranian court has rejected an appeal.
“Canada is gravely concerned by indications that the execution of Mr. Ghassemi-Shall may be carried out imminently,” Baird said in a joint statement Sunday with Diane Ablonczy, the junior minister for foreign affairs.
Baird called on the Iranian government to grant clemency to Ghassemi-Shall on compassionate and humanitarian grounds and to respect its international human rights obligations.
The Iranian-born Ghassemi-Shall emigrated to Canada after Iran’s 1979 revolution, and most recently lived in Toronto.
He is awaiting execution in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison, where another Canadian — photojournalist Zahra Kazemi of Montreal — was beaten, raped and killed in 2003.
Another Canadian resident, web programmer Saeed Malekpour of Richmond Hill, Ont., is also on death row in Evin prison. Malekpour, who was born in Iran, is charged with setting up a website that was used to post pornography. He maintains his innocence and says he was tortured into confessing to crimes against Islam.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper is also calling on Iran to spare the life of an Iranian-Canadian convicted of espionage and awaiting execution.
Harper warned there will be consequences if Hamid Ghassemi-Shall is executed.
Harper’s warning followed a similar statement by Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird who said Sunday that Ottawa is “gravely concerned” by indications that Ghassemi-Shall’s execution may be imminent.
“We urge Iran to reverse its current course and to adhere to its international human rights obligations,” Baird said.

From Wiki:
Marie Antoinette's execution on 16 October 1793.
King Louis XVI was executed on 21 January 1793, at the age of thirty-eight. The result was that Marie Antoinette, as the former queen, plunged into deep mourning; she refused to eat or do any exercise. There is no knowledge of her proclaiming her son as Louis XVII; however, the comte de Provence, in exile, recognised his nephew as the new king of France and took the title of Regent. Marie-Antoinette's health rapidly deteriorated in the following months. By this time she suffered from tuberculosis and possibly uterine cancer, which caused her to hemorrhage frequently.
Despite her condition, the debate as to her fate was the central question of the National Convention after Louis's death. There were those who had been advocating her death for some time, while some had the idea of exchanging her for French prisoners of war or for a ransom from the Holy Roman Emperor. Thomas Paine advocated exile to America. Starting in April, however, a Committee of Public Safety was formed, and men such as Jacques Hébert were beginning to call for Antoinette's trial; by the end of May, the Girondins had been chased out of power and arrested.Other calls were made to "retrain" the Dauphin, to make him more pliant to revolutionary ideas. This was carried out when the eight year old boy Louis Charles was separated from Antoinette on 3 July, and given to the care of a cobbler. On 1 August, she herself was taken out of the Tower and entered into the Conciergerie as Prisoner No. 280. Despite various attempts to get her out, such as the Carnation Plot in September, Marie Antoinette refused when the plots for her escape were brought to her attention. While in the Conciergerie, she was attended by her last servant, Rosalie Lamorlière.
She was finally tried by the Revolutionary Tribunal on 14 October. Unlike the king, who had been given time to prepare a defence, the queen's trial was far more of a sham, considering the time she was given (less than one day). Among the things she was accused of (most, if not all, of the accusations were untrue and probably lifted from rumours begun by libelles) were orchestrating orgies in Versailles, sending millions of livres of treasury money to Austria, plotting to kill the Duke of Orléans, incest with her son, declaring her son to be the new king of France and orchestrating the massacre of the Swiss Guards in 1792.
The most infamous charge was that she sexually abused her son. This was according to Louis Charles, who, through his coaching by Hébert and his guardian, accused his mother. After being reminded that she had not answered the charge of incest, Marie Antoinette protested emotionally to the accusation, and the women present in the courtroom – the market women who had stormed the palace for her entrails in 1789 – ironically began to support her. She had been composed throughout the trial until this accusation was made, to which she finally answered, "If I have not replied it is because Nature itself refuses to respond to such a charge laid against a mother."
However, in reality the outcome of the trial had already been decided by the Committee of Public Safety around the time the Carnation Plot was uncovered, and she was declared guilty of treason in the early morning of 16 October, after two days of proceedings. Back in her cell, she composed a moving letter to her sister-in-law Madame Élisabeth, affirming her clear conscience, her Catholic faith and her feelings for her children. The letter did not reach Élisabeth.
On the same day, her hair was cut off and she was driven through Paris in an open cart, wearing a simple white dress. At 12:15 pm, two and a half weeks before her thirty-eighth birthday, she was executed at the Place de la Révolution (present-day Place de la Concorde). Her last words were "Pardon me sir, I meant not to do it", to Henri Sanson the executioner, whose foot she had accidentally stepped on after climbing the scaffold. Her body was thrown into an unmarked grave in the Madeleine cemetery, rue d'Anjou, (which was closed the following year).
Her sister-in-law Élisabeth was executed in 1794 and her son died in prison in 1795. Her daughter returned to Austria in a prisoner exchange, married and died childless in 1851.
Both her body and that of Louis XVI were exhumed on 18 January 1815, during the Bourbon Restoration, when the comte de Provence had become King Louis XVIII. Christian burial of the royal remains took place three days later, on 21 January, in the necropolis of French Kings at the Basilica of St Denis.

*based on the photo by Eddie Adams - "The Execution of a Viet Cong Guerrilla" (1968)
South Vietnamese National Police Chief Brig Gen. Nguyen Ngoc Loan executes a Viet Cong prisoner with a single pistol shot in the head in Saigon Feb. 1, 1968. Nguyen died Wednesday, July 15, 1998 at his home in Burke, a suburb of Washington, D.C., after a battle with cancer, said his daughter, Nguyen Anh. He was 67. This photo of Nguyen aiming a pistol point-blank at the grimacing prisoner's head became a memorable image of the Vietnam War. The photograph, by Eddie Adams, won a Pulitzer prize for The Associated Press.
With North Vietnam’s Tet Offensive beginning, Nguyen Ngoc Loan, South Vietnam’s national police chief, was doing all he could to keep Viet Cong guerrillas from Saigon. As Loan executed a prisoner who was said to be a Viet Cong captain, AP photographer Eddie Adams opened the shutter. Adams felt that many misinterpreted the scene, and when told in 1998 that the immigrant Loan had died of cancer at his home in Burke, Va., he said, “The guy was a hero. America should be crying. I just hate to see him go this way, without people knowing anything about him.”

Alfred "Jake" Lingle was a reporter for the Chicago Tribune who liked to mingle with cops and gangsters alike. In June of 1930, Lingle had just walked down these subway steps when he was shot in the head from behind and killed. Despite the conviction of Leo Vincent Brothers for the murder it's probable that he was taking the rap for the real killer. Lingle had made enemies of Al Capone and had threatened Bugs Moran 2 weeks prior over his share of the Sheridan Wave nightclub. The hit could have been ordered by either side of the Beer War.

Delhi, commemoration of the Martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur
Guru Tegh Bahadur (1 April 1621 – 24 November 1675), revered as the ninth Nanak, was the ninth of ten Gurus (Prophets) of the Sikh religion. Guru Tegh Bahadur carried forward the light of sanctity and divinity of the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak; his spiritual revelations dealing with varied themes such as the nature of God, human attachments, body, mind, sorrow, dignity, service, death and deliverance, are registered in the form of 115 poetic hymns in the sacred text Guru Granth Sahib.
Although a Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Tegh Bahadur was approached by Hindu Pandits from Kashmir in 1675, to seek his intercession against the forced conversions of Hindus to Islam by the Mughal rulers of India. For resisting these forced conversions and for himself refusing to convert to Islam, Guru Teg Bahadur was publicly executed via beheading at the imperial capital Delhi on the orders of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. Along with Guru Teg Bahadur, three other Sikhs, Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Sati Das and Bhai Dayala, were also executed. Owing to this sacrifice, Guru Tegh Bahadur is revered as Hind-di-Chaadar (shield of Hind(India)). Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib and Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib in Delhi mark the places of execution and cremation of the Guru's body.

On 29 December 1880 Tuhiata, the convicted murderer of artist Mary Dobie, was executed in Wellington gaol.
Tuhiata, usually known as Tuhi, had later said the he never intended Mary harm. The pair had a fatal meeting out in the countryside where she was sketching, and by his account his attempt to ask her where she was from was misunderstood as she spoke no Māori and he little English. But when he dismounted from his horse and came towards her she became frightened and tried to give him the coins in her pocket to make him go away. She then uttered the fatal words that would lead to her death, telling him she would tell the soldiers about him. Fearful of being charged with theft he grabbed her and committed the far greater crime of murder, cutting her throat and dragging her body behind a flax bush.
Blood stained trousers believed to be Tuhi’s were recovered from the scene and his bloody knife was also found. The day of Mary’s murder was fine and she had visited the local store to buy a carpenter’s pencil for her sketching. A gifted artist she had supplied sketches of New Zealand scenery which were published in the London Graphic magazine. As she made her purchase Tuhi was also in the store where he unsuccessfully tried to buy a pair of moleskin trousers on credit. The same day he was seen dancing in the tap room of the local pub before riding his black horse in the direction Mary had taken. Before the murder he had been well thought of and was described by one witness as “usually a quiet man. He is not quarrelsome.” He was arrested and tried in Wellington where the jury took only 20 minutes to unanimously decide on his guilt. He was hanged soon after and the newspapers reported that he had walked “firmly” onto the scaffold and that death was instantaneous
Shown here is the coroner’s certification of Tuhiata’s death. It includes the official cause of death by hanging and the names of all witnesses present at the execution.

Foggy, panoramic view of the Long Island Sound and Execution Rocks Lighthouse (1850) from Sands Point, Long Island, NY.
It is rumored that the lighthouse's site got its name before the American Revolutionary War when British colonial authorities executed people by chaining them to the rocks at low tide, allowing the rising water to drown them. This folklore has never been verified by any historical record. The name for this island was actually chosen to reflect the historically dangerous shipping area created by the rocks' exposure during low tides. On March 3, 1847, the United States Congress appropriated $25,000 for creation of Execution Rocks Lighthouse. Designed by Alexander Parris, construction was completed in 1849, although it was not lit until 1850. Over the years, it has survived both a fire and a shipwreck. [Wikipedia]

The art work can be asking about "The Execution of Emperor Maximilian "where Manet paint an " after excecution moment "
Is art always too late ?
Can art prevent accidents ?
Does art always comes after the shooting or can art sometimes prevent it ?
Can artists have an impact ?
Could it be an art that could prevent and stop accidents not only witness and express about them ?

Constructing the World: Art and Economy 1919-1939 and 2008-2018
10/12/18 to 02/03/19
Ten years after the peak of the global financial crisis in 2008, which profoundly shook the economic systems of America and Europe and had a lasting effect on present-day life, this topical exhibition is the first to illustrate the economy’s dramatic influence on art and to make global comparisons, demonstrating these in an analysis of two separate eras. Economic phenomena in the classical modernism of the 1920s and 30s are not only explored by focusing on art from the German Weimar Republic, the Soviet Union, and the United States, but also juxtaposed with artists of the present day.
Curatorial team: Dr. Eckhart Gillen (Berlin), Dr. Ulrike Lorenz, Dr. Sebastian Baden
Project Lead: Dr. Inge Herold, Assistence: Lisa Valentina Riedel, M. A. mult., Elisabeth Bohnet, M.A.
How does contemporary art reflect the world of work today? The catalogue for the second part of the exhibition Constructing the World at the Kunsthalle Mannheim takes a look at this question. The focus of it is primarily on artistic positions of the past decade that deal with the social, political, and economic effects of the most recent economic crisis after 2008. The works address and interrogate new production conditions and developments on the labor market as well as political conflicts.
