„Eco Sculptures”
Eric Mendelsohn State High School of Visual Arts in Olsztyn
The project team will build three large-scale rotating sculptures, which will be covered with vegetation in combination with waste materials. The works will be displayed in the school's Art Park.
The original combination of art and ecology through the construction of rotating sculptures covered with waste materials and vegetation demonstrates the maturity and attentiveness of the creative and social design team. The concept of elevating recycled materials to the status of artistic material and using them to create original spatial objects, displayed in a public place, is innovative and goes beyond the school curriculum.
The message of the concept and the response to the leitmotif of the „Sztuka Naprawiania Świata” or „The Art of Repairing the World" Competition is a concern for the resources of our planet, expressed through the use of recycled materials in art. The creation of large spatial volumes based on organic and biomorphic forms implies a cyclical change in the shells of the sculptures, e.g. from aluminium to biological.
