Olafur Eliasson: Pavilion for Waiblingen
Thanks to a donation from the Eva Mayr-Stihl Foundation, a sculpture by the artist Olafur Eliasson (* 1967) has been enriching the art ensemble on the Rems since July 2009. Awarded several times, the Dane is one of the most sought-after artists internationally. The pavilion for Waiblingen picks up on the topic of water (Rems) and the industrial-looking architecture of the art school and gallery and thus meets a major concern of Eliasson: 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 to the ground. Eliasson himself likes to use the metaphor of the geyser or volcano. In dealing with the local situation, he developed the sculpture, which weighs tons and is almost six meters high. The pavilion for Waiblingen in the Berlin studio was built within 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 Waibling 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 ours Life to do. "
