Innsbruck International Bienalle of the Arts
This major project has just been completed by the Timothy Richards workshop. The workshop was commissioned by the artist Heidrun Sandbichler to build a 20” high replica of the New York Stock Exchange front facade. The model is on display at the Innsbruck International Bienalle of the Arts from the 10th to the 20th of March. My work on the project involved sculpting the full complement of figures for the highly detailed pediment area.
The Innsbruck International Biennial of the Arts is ten days of events and exhibitions exhibiting fifteen international artists working with visual arts, video, sound and performing. They were asked to produce work which explores the theme of this 'je, I and ich' (the word 'I' in different languages).
““The theme is absolutely current in an age in which there is a hyper-exposure of the self, linked to the phenomenon of social media, blogs and selfies. The artists invited to this biennial express their reflection in art on being an author, on the presentation of themselves, as well as on sharing stories and memories with the social and traditional public.””
