Editorial
Dear Members and Friends of sculpture,
We often hear stories from you about positive experiences working together with other
members. Galleries displaying artists’ work, artists meeting collectors or different kinds
of successful cooperation. Especially our exclusive contest service is frequently used by
you. This is thrilling for us.
Our network easily overcomes vast geographical distances - whether a European
member is chosen for the Sculpture by the Sea Show in Aarhus, Denmark by an
Australian jury or a gallery in Germany invites an artist from China whom they met
through our network.
These encounters are of a very friendly nature which can be referred to the connection –
I call it bond – through our common interest. I was able to observe this myself over the
past weeks. For example when I met a member in Brussels to view his collection. We
never met before, but my wife and I were welcomed as old friends along with other
appropriate guests. A very valuable exchange of ideas for sculpture network ensued. We
were able to experience his true passion when he guided us through the huge yard
containing his collection.
A completely different example: A sculptor asked us for help because she needed money
for printing an exhibition catalogue. At the moment sculpture network is not able to help
in these cases; our financial range is too limited. But after a couple of phone calls with
willing members we were able to find a solution. This was a splendid sign of solidarity
among artists and friends of sculpture.
On 25 April 2009 we invited you to a very
special event near Madrid: a visit to the private
collection of Placido Arango. Beatriz Blanch, our
new board member who lives in Madrid, was
able to secure an invitation from this
distinguished collector. I went to Madrid along
with 21 other participants. After a long drive we
arrived at a huge manor, which Placido had
transformed from a former cattle farm to a
jewel of landscape architecture and home to a
very exciting sculpture and art collection.
Aperitif with collector Placido Arango (middle)
I was not the distant-most visitor. Our new member, Hannah Peschar,
http://www.hannahpescharsculpture.com/ and her assistant joined us from Great Britain.
The group of as yet unfamiliar artists and friends of sculpture moved somewhat timidly
aroand the masterly-placed art within this outskirts area. By the time of the aperitif,
which took place in a large hall – starring a Chillida sculpture in the centre – we had
grown into a group of familiar friends being welcomed by the landlord and joining in a
discussion about what we had just experienced.

Why am I going into so much detail, you ask? I want to make the point of how special
our community can be. Every one of you has it in his own hands to be creative and get
in touch with other members. You would be surprised at what can be achieved; certainly
there are great chances for you and your work.
Yours sincerely,

Seasonal opening of sculpture parks and sculpture projects in A / CH / GB
Traditionally spring and early summer are the prelude for the reopening of sculpture
parks and open-air sculpture exhibitions. We will report on three member institutions
whose exhibitions also include artwork by some of our own members.
Österreichischer Skulpturenpark in Unterpremstätten bei Graz (A)
Austrian sculpture park in Unterpremstätten near Graz (A)
On 26th of April season was started hosting a big party. The seven hectares of the park
were designed by the famous Swiss landscape architect Dieter Kienast (1945 – 1998).
There are over 60 sculptures from Austrian and international artists. Starting with classic
modern art made of stone, wood and iron you will also find sculptures made from
concrete, glass, plastic and fibreglass.
Last year there was the opportunity to reconstruct the sculpture “Unità Cellulare” by
Guiseppe Uncini (1929 – 2008). This sculpture had already been displayed in Graz by the
artist when he participated in the international Drei-Länder-Biennale “trigon 67”
“Ambiente”.
The sculpture “Sphäre 315”, 2005, by Hartmut Skerbisch
was the highlight of this year’s opening celebrations. It is
borne by the correlation between the inside and outside
showing volume as well as casing and transparency.
The opening celebrations were held in remembrance of
Hartmut Skerbisch, who very much anticipated the
showing of his Sphere. Herbert Kerbisch was born in 1945
and passed away on the 3rd of April 2009.

Swiss Triennial of sculpture “Bad RagARTz” 2009 (CH)
On the weekend of the 16th and 17th of May the Fourth Swiss Triennial of Sculpture will
return to the Bündner and St. Galler Rhein dale. Then the cultural summer “Bad
RagARTz” will be opened in Bad Ragaz 20 km from Vaduz.
79 sculptors from aroand the world – including 18 members of sculpture network – will
display their work. There will be sculptures on display in Bad Ragaz and the town centre
of Vaduz. The nearby town of Bad Pfäfers in the Tamina canyon will be displaying small
sculptures.
This year’s motto of the triennial is “Kunst-Stücke” and is supposed to socially upgrade
living space. Therefore art is entering as a reliable distraction from daily routine in Bad
Ragaz and Vaduz. The initiators, Esther and Rolf Hohmeister, actually succeeded in
collecting a budget sum of 1.5 million Swiss francs.

Fresh Air 09 – The 9th Quenington Sculpture Exhibition (GB)
Since 1992 the collectors, Lucy and David Abel Smith, organise the “Fresh Air” sculpturebiennale – for this reason they foanded the non-profit organisation, “The Quenington
Sculpture Trust” in 1997.
On the outskirts of the historic town of
Quenington in the district of Cotswolds, next
to the river Coln there lies their idyllic park
surroanded by a very old tree population. 90
artists will be displaying their work in the 5acre garden from 14. June to 5. July. The
materials used range from bronze, glass,
stone, ceramic, fabric, and plastic to multi
media installations.

„Aus dem Stamm – Holzskulptur heute“ in Ettlingen (D)
44 nationally and internationally renowned artists will present
their work focussing mainly on wood material in two successive
exhibitions. The exhibit emphasises the theory that wood is still
a very important material for the art of sculpture. Aside from
the virtual media, there seems to be a new interest in the use
of sensual materials today.
This exhibition was curated by Werner Pokorny, who focussed
on the perspective and the access that an artist has to the

“Julio González” in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid (E)
The Spaniard, Julio González (1876-1942,) is known to be the
“father” of iron sculptures and can be counted as one of the
most important sculptors in the 20th century, along with Alberto
Giacometti and Constantin Brâncusi. With the creation of his
sculpture, “Drawing in Space”, he is considered to be the
inventor of iron sculptures.

Almost 70 years after his passing, the Centro de Arte Reina
Sofia in Madrid is devoting an extensive retrospective for the
first time in his home country. Starting 1st of June there will be
over 200 pieces of his artwork on display from all of his creative
periods. One part of the exhibition focuses on his collaboration
with Pablo Picasso between 1928 and 1932. Gonzalez became a
painter after his goldsmith apprenticeship. At the age of 42 he
learned welding in an auto factory, giving his career a
completely new perspective and leading to his nickname of the
first “artist with welding equipment”.

“Lothar Baumgarten – Seven Soands/ Seven Circles” at KUB Bregenz (A)
The four time Documenta participant, Lothar Baumgarten (born
1944), along with other famous artists such as Joseph Beuys,
Walter de Maria and Robert Smithson, essentially broadened the
boandaries of art with respect to the confrontation with nature and
the reflexion thereupon.
In Bregenz in the exciting masterpiece of meditative architecture
by the Swiss architect, Peter Zumthor, just awarded the lucrative
Pritzker Price, the artist designed a radically new opus. Lothar
Baumgarten crafted seven phonic sculptures for the three floors at
the KUB. He started with several soand records, which he collected
6
Newsletter 05-2009
over four years on the peninsula Denning’s Point, north of New York. These are audio
files of urban character, which are effected by climate, soands of animals and plants, and
movement of men and machines.
Those audio files – “Phonic Pictures” (60 min each) - have a symphonic dimension.
Backed by special surroand-soand-technique the listener gets the feeling of actually
being projected to that place encountering this dramatic and daunting orchestration of
nature.
Lothar Baumgarten is known to be sparing when it comes to catalogues for his
exhibitions. For this one he and the Dutchman Walter Nikkels published a textbook that
gives close insights into his artwork:
Lothar Baumgarten – Seven Soands / Seven Circles
Textbook published by Kunsthaus Bregenz and Kaira Cabanas, articles from T.
Bartscherer, C. Buckley, J. Curley, C. Rattemeyer and A. Rosenblum Martin, D/ENG.; 144
pages, 22,5 x 30,5 cm, 48 pictures, Price: 48€
The exhibition is open until 21 June 2009. Kunsthaus Bregenz, Karl Tizian Platz, A-6900
Bregenz. Further information: http://www.kunsthaus-bregenz.at
Mark Dion. Über die Jagd / Concerning Hunting in Neumünster (D)
High seats, hunting lodges, targets, pictures, emblems, and
costumes – a scenery like in a nature history or historic museum.
However in the exhibition of the American artist Mark Dion (*
1961 in New Bedford, lives in New York and Pennsylvania) these
are artistic objects, which are part of an overlapping installation
throughout the park at the Herbert-Gerisch-Stiftung in
Neumünster.
The artwork of this fascinating artist looks into every aspect of the
nature theme. His work is pointed towards the fascinating facets
of “Nature”. With this exhibition Dion is taking the part of a hunter
and people fascinated by this theme. His exhibition also shows
sculptural interpretations of high seats, a collection of real hunting
scenes and a strangely crafted hunting banner.
Using a subversively ironic approach he achieves a conversion
of the benefactors` private hunting lodge to an artistic
installation. Mark Dion uses his work in order to avoid any
categorization. We can see a reflection of hunting as a form
of cultural bond with nature.
This exhibition is an international cooperation of the GerischStiftung with Kunstraum Dornbirn, Aarhus Kunstbygning,
Galleria Civica Di Modena and Kunsthalle Krems.

“Guiseppe Uncini” at the Neue Galerie Graz (A)
The Neue Galerie Graz is showing Guiseppe Uncini (1929 – 2008) one of the most
innovative Italian artists in the second half of the 20th century. This exhibition is an
homage to the life achievement of Uncini and has been planned with the artist – it is a
cooperation between the ZKM Karlsruhe and Mart Rovereto.
Uncini`s work is outstanding and revolutionary in several aspects: The artist started off
in the 1950`s with the tradition of then up-to-date dominating informal painting of
material pictures. Even then he was already using iron and cement for his work and
influenced artists of the Arte Povera and Minimal Art.
Mark Giuseppe Uncini: "Unità Cellulare“
1967/2008,
Foto:
Landesmuseum
Joanneum, Graz
Uncini was the first sculptor to tackle the sculptural
problem of shadow, which caused Peter Weibel to call
him the “Sculptor of negative space”. Shadow becomes
a sign of space which exists and does not exist. He can
only materialise the space in that he makes it visible.
Uncini noticed that a sculpture not only occupies space
but also creates it anew between the artwork and its
surroandings which also become part of the sculpture.
This gap is also sculpturally materialised. He creates a
sculpture which consists of positive and negative
volume, spaces and interspaces; it is material and
immaterial simultaneously.
Uncini took part in the 1967 Biennale trigon 67 in Graz, where
he installed an iron sculpture ander the working title “Unità
Cellulare”. This sculpture shows the outlines and contours of a
furnished interior and its shadow effect. Designed by one nearly
continuous line, that which represents reality appears as
orange-sprayed steel pipes, the appropriate shadows appear as
flat-hammered metal rods.
The preserved preparatory drawings and drafts at the Neue
Galerie made it possible to create the only reconstruction
authorised by Uncini.

Four portrait heads for the Munich “Ruhmeshalle” (D)
Our members Matthias Gangkofner and Max Wagner who
live at the Lake Starnberg near Munich just received
prestigious jobs. They where asked to craft busts of
famous persons: Max Wagner decided to make one of
Bertold Brecht and Karl Orff; Matthias Gangkofner chose
Franz von Lenbach and Emmy Noether. These busts have
now been unveiled in a ceremonial act at the Ruhmeshalle.
The Ruhmeshalle is located
on top of the Theresienwiese in Munich using the
plans of Hofbaumeister Leo
von Klenze between 1843 to
1853. Kind Ludwig I. set the task in order to honour
important
Bavarian
personalities
which
rendered
outstanding services to the state. The busts will be located
in the three winged peristyle.

Barbara Szüts (A) wins sculpture competition in Friedberg (D)
The Austrian-born sculptor, Barbara Szüts, living in Cologne
just won the sculpture competition in Friedberg/ Augsburg:
Her delicate stainless steel from the series “Überlagerungen”
will be located on the Friedberg forecourt of the central train
station.
Proposal by Barbara Szüts
It wasn’t so easy from her point of view to form a design for
the sloped forecourt. However she sees it as positive that
there is so much sky visible. In the future the 4 meter high
sculpture is supposed to be a checkpoint within the
roandabout.

“So weit das Budget reicht” – a daring construction in Arbon (CH)
The art students Matthias Bildstein (Vienna)
and Philippe Glatz (Zurich) who are known as
the artist duo “Bildstein | Glatz” are very
brave. In Arbon at the lake Boden they built a
daring construction which projected nine
meters into the lake – as far as the budget
lasts.
From far away it just looks like a train bridge
being build. Close up you will discover a
delicate construction.
With their installations and actions in public
space Bildstein | Glatz show that reality is a
chosen option not a given thing. Often an allusion to the existing appears so reasonable
and obvious that even the idea of a new creation seems unthinkable. Opposing this
factual force they designed utopias and social visions which expose the legitimacy,
authority, tradition and convention behind it all. Thus they free physical and spiritual
space for the construction of architectural fantasies and social alternatives.
“Sculpture by the Sea” comes to Aarhus (DK)
In 1997 Australian born David Handley foanded the
“Sculpture by the Sea” as a one-day-sculptureopen air exhibition at Bondi Beach near Sydney.
Meanwhile it transformed into a gigantic and very
spectacular sculpture exhibition project that
attracts more than 500.000 visitors a year. For the
first time this year he risked the move from
Sydney to Europe and is organising a sculptural
exhibition project at the Danish coast within the
framework of the centennial of the National
Exhibition in Aarhus in 1909.
The initiative lies with Their Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederic and Crown Princess
Mary, born in Australia, who were fascinated by “Sculpture by the Sea” at Bondi Beach
Sydney.
Upon this unique event between Denmark and Australia there will be shown more than
60 sculptures mainly by artists from both countries. Our member Pomona Zipser from
Berlin has been invited, too. Our Madrid board member, Beatriz Blanch, will represent
sculpture network at the opening weekend in Aarhus.
Opening: 05 June 2009.
Duration: 05 June – 28 June 2009

Book Tips and Reports
Nele Ströbel: “einkreisen / in alle Richtungen–Raumarbeiten aus 15 Jahren”
Variety and curiosity – between art in public space and Siemens
design job, teaching in Munich and study trips to different cultures
– this describes best the breadth of the work of Nele Ströbel, our
own sculptor member from Munich.
On the occasion of a comprehensive exhibit she has now published
a catalogue documenting her projects of the last 15 years. Nele
Ströbel works with the most diverse variety of materials and
techniques and is not afraid to use modern methods. Constructions
which are the unification of many different small parts are on
show.
Multimedia-based she demonstrates through hand
drawings, digital prints, objects made with different materials and
films our communication and scope of knowledge.
Her central theme, the paradigm change between private and public space, she puts up
for discussion through real and virtual objects. She accumulates fundamental questions
reflecting our earthly existence and dreams but never loses her humour.
