Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές τρεξίματος Eschborn

Stein für das Licht (Livia Kubach & Michael Kropp, 2010): Το γλυπτό από πέτρα με τις πολλές τρύπες που περιγράφεις είναι αυτό το έργο από μαύρο γρανίτη. Το καλλιτεχνικό ζεύγος έχει ανοίξει πολυάριθμα κυλινδρικά ανοίγματα στον συμπαγή πέτρινο όγκο, ώστε να γίνει το βαρύ υλικό διαπερατό από το φως. Έτσι, η πέτρα αποϋλοποιείται: Το φως που πέφτει ταξιδεύει μέσα από τις τρύπες και κάνει τον σκληρό πυρήνα να φαίνεται ζωντανός και εύθραυστος από μέσα.

The woven—or rather, wrapped—willow sculpture was erected as part of the 1250th anniversary celebrations of the town of Eschborn. The cornucopia was adorned with fresh strawberries, and the seed tray was filled with seeds. Attaching the seed tray to the body of the "sower" was a bit tricky at first, as was calculating the entire statics, explains Irmgard Wissing. The willow artist from Bad Bevensen is proud that her woven figure, which was originally intended to be erected last year for the 1250th anniversary, could finally be unveiled.

It's been a great playground for decades.

At the edge of the sculpture park, there's a mini-shopping center with a great bookstore, a lovely Italian restaurant, and a wonderful ice cream parlor 😊 In addition to ice cream and drinks, the menu includes breakfast, cakes, toasties, salads, and focaccia. All delicious 😋!! Opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Closed on Mondays.

The title "The Promise" refers to an announcement in the past. The group of figures, reminiscent of a gathering of dignitaries, embodies the present. The future is hinted at in the development of the egg-shaped object, which promises the fulfillment of the promise. None of the figures exhibits curious, impatient waiting. Rather, their anticipation is characterized by caution and reserve, and perhaps even perplexity. An exchange of ideas about the nature and possibilities hidden within the oversized egg seems to be developing in the room.

These elements, as well as the only hints of facial features, lend each individual figure its own distinct character. In their withdrawn and sometimes contemplative expression, the seven human figures develop a silent and enigmatic presence. Their gaze directions cannot always be precisely determined. At times, they appear to be gazing into the distance outside the circle, while simultaneously perceiving the egg object at the center of the circle. The figures communicate with each other not through their gestures and facial expressions, but through their postures, head turns, and positions in space. The viewer can enter this field of communication.

Stephan Guber's "The Promise" was created on-site in 2010 within eight weeks. The sculptor used a chainsaw to work on all the wooden sculptures simultaneously, avoiding constructive construction, but rather to processually develop the figures and their relationships within the space. Guber deliberately avoided the design of details, leaving much vague. Numerous notched, vertical cuts give the larger-than-life figures a garment that envelops the body in complex folds, creating a blocky appearance. The headdresses are reminiscent of historical clothing, myths, or foreign cultures.
