Thanks to a donation from the Eva Mayr-Stihl Foundation, a sculpture by the artist Olafur Eliasson (*1967) has enriched the art ensemble on the Rems since July 2009. The Dane, who has won several awards, is one of the most sought-after artists internationally. The pavilion for Waiblingen takes up the theme of water (Rems) and the industrial-looking architecture of the art school and gallery, and thus meets one of Eliasson's major concerns: the dialogue between nature and art. The pavilion for Waiblingen is reminiscent of a stylized fountain made of steel arms of different heights. Starting from a common center, the rays shoot up and "fall" back down to the ground. Eliasson himself likes to use the geyser or volcano metaphor. In dealing with the local situation, he developed the sculpture, which weighed several tons and was almost six meters high. The pavilion for Waiblingen was created in the Berlin studio in just under 18 months. For Olafur Eliasson, the work is a space for encounters. The naming was not unimportant: the artist sees taking a seat in public space as a democratic act. Everyone in Waiblingen should take possession of their pavilion, because, as Eliasson said in an interview: "Art has to become something for everyone again. It has to be with our life to do."
