Und sie dreht sich doch
The piece “Und sie dreht sich doch” was realised
in 1999 as a result of a design competition for the school of
therapeutic pedagogy in Flawil (CHE). It brings to mind a celestial
body that has landed in a tree. A sculpture was placed in the
crown of a young chestnut tree so that it appears to have gradually
grown into and to be supported by the tree. The form is designed
to adjust to the growth of the branches. A ceramic negative
was produced in order to cast the form in chrome steel.

Mehr als siebenzehntel –
Seegerichtshof Hamburg
Stricker used hot wire to cut the entwined forms in two Styrofoam
half-spheres that then served as the negative for the casting
in bronze. The inside of the sculpture can be reached through
three bulls-eyes and a door. The process of producing the sculpture
was simultaneously documented as part of an exhibition at the
Kunstmuseum St. Gallen in 2000/2000. The whole process being
carried out in the Kunstgiesserei workshop could be viewed from
the museum with the help of a webcam. When the negative forms
were no longer needed, they were brought to the Museum. |

Meteoritenwerkstatt
The Meteorite Workshop was a project within the framework of
the exhibition “Aussendienst” (field work), which
was organised by the art association and department of culture
of the city of Hamburg. A 2.5-metre tall sculpture was formed
in the period May 31 – July 30, 2000 in Alsterpark in
Hamburg. A spherical Styrofoam form was rinsed with plaster,
and the negative thus produced was cast in concrete. Finally
the sculpture was covered with palladium leaf. The Geodom
served as a temporary workshop. |
