As ‘real stuff’, sculpture is always related to physics, bodies, weight, extension …
What might be less evident with sculpture are its relation to time and sites.
In its classical form it is even related to ‘eternal’, means timeless expression.
Sculpture can only be experienced in real space.
But most sculpture is no longer produced for a site:
It might appear in an art show to dissappear 4 weeks later in a stock.
It might be placed e.g. in a parc or a garden, for which it is not specially conceived.
Sculpture has become siteless.
So it is not evident, how to represent an over 30 years lasting research
on sculpture in virtual time and space.
By this workbook I want to propose a double access:
Click on thumbs or textlinks to reach both of them.
- The first one will bring you to the small village of Wolfersheim in Germany,
in my neighborhood, where you could find a variety of ‘applied’ work in a local context.
All these sculptures have a given place and they result out of dialoges with people and their ideas.
- The second way will lead you,
by mixing elder with more recent work,
functional sculpture with ‘free’ creation,
only virtually with really existing objects and
siteless sculpture with sitespecific ones
right in the heart of the (infinite?) questions of art:
How to ‘use’, compare and judge not only these works ?
