Kantonsschule Kreuzlingen
2000
The artists Markus Wetzel and Markus Weiss participated as the
duo M&M in the art in the built environment competition
for the canton school of Kreuzlingen (CHE). Their concept included
a variable element, changing digitally produced ‘wallpaper’
through which the appearance of the building is altered, and
a contrasting static element, sculptural representations of
the two artists in dialogue. After consultation with the Kunstgiesserei,
the artists decided for moulds created from a full body 3-D
scan. The moulds were produced in Rapid Prototyping in Los Angeles
(USA). The lightweight polyurethane was coated with a synthetic
material and given a chrome lacquer. The figures produced proved
to be too susceptible to damage and were replaced with a version
made of a more resistant synthetic the following year. The Kunstgiesserei
produced the figures in polyurethane resin, and later also made
a further version in polished aluminium. |
