Jaume Plensa, Yorkshire Sculpture Park

Jaume Plensa, Yorkshire Sculpture Park | Art Installations, Sculpture, Contemporary Art | Scoop.it

Jaume Plensa, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, 2011
Spanish sculptor.

Plensa’s sculpture gives physical form to the intangible, using the body as a way of exploring what it means to be human and engaging with universal themes: love, memory, language and despair. Other works need the presence of a human body to make them complete, such as Song of Songs. These glass cabins, immersed in coloured light, are only large enough for one visitor to enter and are spaces for solitary contemplation.

Wela, "The Whisperers" 2011, Warsaw

Wela (Elisabeth Wierzbicka) - Permanent interactive installation "The Whisperers" for the Copernicus Science Centre* in Warsaw


Installation "The Whisperers" consists of 16 stainless steel columns put in the middle of the park of discovery. The columns are equipped with sensors and speakers in order to detect visitors and distribute natural sounds such as the whisper of a stream, rain, wind, volcano, etc. People can do real-time sound spatialization on the type of sound and played on the sound effects.
The visual and sound installation, compared to contemporary organs, symbolizes a virtual-real time in which we live and transports the viewer to the fourth more spiritual dimension.
The installation also shows the paradox of contemporary man desire to approach to nature by artificial means.

 

*The Copernicus Science Centre (in Polish: Centrum Nauki Kopernik) is a science museum standing on the bank of the Vistula River in Warsaw. It contains over 350 interactive exhibits that enable visitors to single-handedly carry out experiments and discover the laws of science for themselves. Many artworks have been installed in and around the Centre.
The Centre is the largest institution of its type in Poland and one of the most advanced in Europe.

Wela (Elisabeth Wierzbicka): "Suspended Gravitation", 2007, Sculpture Park, Centre of Polish Sculpture, Oronsko, Poland

A stone trapped between two triangles cannot fall. It symbolizes the state of suspension between two conflicting ways out or decisions.

Peter Randall-Page: "Fructus" and "Corpus" | Art Installations, Sculpture, Contemporary Art | Scoop.it

Peter Randall-Page: "Fructus" and "Corpus", 2009, Yorkshire Sculpture Park

The British sculptor Peter Randall-Page is concerned with the underlying principles determining growth and the forms it produces. In his words “geometry is the theme on which nature plays her infinite variations, fundamental mathematical principle become a kind of pattern book from which nature constructs the most complex and sophisticated structures.”

Chris Booth: "Echo of the Veluwe"

Chris Booth: "Echo of the Veluwe" | Art Installations, Sculpture, Contemporary Art | Scoop.it

Chris Booth: "Echo of the Veluwe", Sculpture Park Kröller Müller, Netherlands, 2005

 

The artist Chris Booth from New Zealand has made this sculpture from 310 boulders. In request of the artist, an extensive geological research was carried out on the used boulders.

"The undulating shape of the boulders moves through and between the trees, like the wind moving the sand, like the glaciers of old that shaped the land and brought the boulders from Scandinavia. The shape refers to the waves of the sand dunes, characteristic of the area around the museum, and to the waves of the nearby ponds. The egg-shape of the work was inspired by the surface of one of the ponds. The work of art emphasizes the importance of water, that has become scarce on the Veluwe because of overuse. The spiral shape of the boulders was inspired by the currents of the wind, that changed the shape of the landscape over thousands of years. The work of art also deals with the descructive influence of man on the vulnerable land, by centuries of agriculture and other forms of overuse." Ch. B.
