Many of the sculptures in Ostwestfalen-Lippe can be found in rural spaces, rather than urban environments. One reason for this is the particularly high density of gardens and parks, which are often part of the grounds surrounding castles and manor houses. These spaces provide the perfect setting for historical as well as contemporary sculptures, which are usually exhibited on the initiative of individual cultural enthusiasts. While the sculptures are publically accessible, most of the stately homes are privately owned and can only be admired from outside. Above all, this route invites you to discover sculptures in a scenic environment, to be inspired by the history of the sites, and to experience art and nature together. Because of the longer distances between the individual locations, which are not accessible by public transport, you are advised to explore this route by car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":38641,"template":"","sculpture_maps_tempo":[15080],"sculpture_maps_region":[15073],"class_list":["post-30441","sculpture_maps","type-sculpture_maps","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","sculpture_maps_tempo-auto","sculpture_maps_region-ostwestfalen-lippe"],"acf":{"sm_sculptures":[{"ID":27097,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2017-06-06 23:37:02","post_date_gmt":"2017-06-06 21:37:02","post_content":"A sculpture park was established in Halle on the grounds of a former cemetery. As a park, the cemetery is now a place of remembrance, relaxation, and communication. As a cultural space, it displays sculptures from recent years that were designed to reflect on topics from the Halle Bach Tage. This sculpture by Joachim Bandau was commissioned for the 2010 Halle Bach Tage and focuses on the theme of exodus. \r\nThe work comprises a row of four steel cubes that are each made up of four stacked steel plates. The top plate of each block is in the shape of a highly abstracted letter, spelling BACH when read together. Although they are only visible from the sides, the bottom three plates in each cube are also letters, so that each of the individual blocks contain the letters B, A, C, and H in different orders. As such, the cubes can each stand alone in terms of sense and meaning, and contain the name of the great German musical dynasty that significantly shaped the music of the 18th century.\r\nThis four-part sculpture can also be read as a work of word art. The four letters \u2013 whether hidden or readable\u2013 also stand for sounds. Letter and sound, word and image, name and music are the contents of this sculpture. Strict rhythm, linearity, compact overlapping of letters, demonstration, reversal, and variations of a theme characterize these four rough steel blocks and are reminiscent of the development of a fugue. \r\nCompositional structures found in sculpture and music are brought together by this work.\r\n","post_title":"B.A.C.H.","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"b-a-c-h","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-07-07 18:38:40","post_modified_gmt":"2018-07-07 16:38:40","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/nrw-skulptur.net\/skulptur\/b-a-c-h\/","menu_order":676,"post_type":"sculpture","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27204,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2017-06-06 23:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2017-06-06 21:15:43","post_content":"This work is made out of a block of Ukrainian Labrador granite from Lemgo that is one billion years old and that weighs nearly 15 tons. What is particularly fascinating about its design is the interplay of natural and sculpted stone, as well as the structural tension between the unprocessed raw surface and the finely polished areas. The stone's crystalline structures are clearly visible to surprising depths.\r\nAn iridescent blue shimmer permeates the surface from inside the stone, changing its tone based on the lighting. Sometimes, the blue might correspond with the sky above the stone; at other times, rainwater and the stone\u2019s wave-like formations merge seamlessly with each other. Through division, shaping, and positioning, an ensemble of stones has emerged that echoes the vast hilly landscape, uniting the architectural and topographical elements.\r\n\r\n\r\nAdditional information: www.staff-stiftung.de<\/a> ","post_title":"Das Blaue Leuchten \/ Blue Radiance","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"das-blaue-leuchten","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-08-17 17:58:07","post_modified_gmt":"2018-08-17 15:58:07","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/nrw-skulptur.net\/skulptur\/das-blaue-leuchten\/","menu_order":1547,"post_type":"sculpture","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":27664,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2017-06-06 23:15:39","post_date_gmt":"2017-06-06 21:15:39","post_content":"Anamorphic artworks only reveal their true intent to the viewer from a specific vantage point. In this respect, they could only emerge in the Renaissance with the development of perspective constructions, particularly the central perspective. Thus, it is logical that this work -- which implements the principle of anamorphosis in contemporary art -- would be installed in front of Schloss Brake, a renaissance castle that houses the Weserrenaissance-Museum.\r\nThe sculpture looks different from every direction as a seemingly random arrangement of metal beams in space. The beams come together as a three dimensional geometric form when the viewer looks at it from a specific, precisely calculated vantage point. This dodecahedron made up of twelve identical pentagons also represents one of the five Platonic solids that were commonly depicted by Renaissance artists as part of their perspective studies (eg. D\u00fcrer, Melencolia I<\/em>, 1514, contains a similar polyhedron).

The top surface of each block is perfectly horizontal, so that you could theoretically lay a giant plate on top of the three elements and form a uniform horizontal plane in the middle of the rolling landscape. \r\nThe hilly countryside is mainly characterized by irregular rising and falling lines and surfaces that range from steep to gently curved.

The road leads from Gut Holzhausen to the forest, drawing the main axis through the farm complex and serving as the start of the Nieheimer Kunstpfad. The trees along the route date back up to 500 years. Relics of those that have been cut down over the years can still be found on either side of the road, with some that have remained in place for decades. The two weathered trunks that were used for these sculptures also remain largely as they were found. Pointing towards each other from a distance, only the ends of the trunks were modified in this work. Now, they appear to be parts of an interlocking plug system made up of a seemingly random arrangement of projecting and recessed surfaces on a square grid. In turn, the patterns on the trunks correlate with each other, so that the surfaces could theoretically be joined together. It is as if the two trunks were magnets at the edge of their force field \u2013 close enough to make their connection palpable, but far enough to prevent them from being able to reconnect. The viewer can only visualize them united. Pedestrians walk down the road and back each day, which is interpreted more universally here as a journey and homecoming. This concept is expressed by another aspect of the design: the part of the sculpture near the forest - the \u201cjourney\u201d - rests on top of three steel T-beams; despite the trunk\u2019s actual immovability, the beams are indicative of human intervention and suggest that the sculpture's position is temporary and changeable. \u201cHomecoming,\u201d its counterpart near the manor house, remains directly on the ground where it was found \u2013 as if it had grown that way. This contrast allows us to consider notions of the separate and the connected, the attraction of opposite poles, and the relationship between man and nature.\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/gut-holzhausen.de\/kultur\/kunstpfad<\/a>","post_title":"Reise und Heimkehr \/ Journey and Homecoming","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"reise-und-heimkehr","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-03 19:04:30","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-03 18:04:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/nrw-skulptur.net\/skulptur\/reise-und-heimkehr\/","menu_order":354,"post_type":"sculpture","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":30620,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2018-10-11 11:05:11","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-11 09:05:11","post_content":"Dutch garden architect Piet Oudolf's designs have often been described as works of art. That is why the garden at Gr\u00e4flicher Park Bad Driburg is presented as an example here, despite not being a sculpture in the narrower sense. In Germany, Oudolf also designed a perennial garden in Maximilianpark in Hamm and a former clarification tank at Berne Park in Bottrop. Oudolf achieved great international fame with his designs for the High Line in New York, an abandoned above-ground subway track that was turned into a park. It runs along the Hudson River above the streets of Manhattan and even through individual skyscrapers.\r\n\r\nIn Bad Driburg, a band of perennials organically meanders through the grounds. There is a path in the middle, which is connected in segments by circular lawns that function as \"joints.\" Tens of thousands of coordinated plants were installed according to Oudolf's precise planning, including numerous varieties of achillea, anemone, asters, echinacea, geranium, iris, lime, sage, and veronica. To the west, a dozen magnolia trees form a backdrop against which the perennials can unfold. It simultaneously creates a beautiful end point and addition to the historical sections of the park. Starting in September 2008, the planting and formal details of the new garden were carried out by the Gr\u00e4flicher Park gardeners under the direction of park manager Hans-Josef Bickmann.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSource: Gr\u00e4flicher Park Bad Driburg<\/a>","post_title":"Garten \/ Garden","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"garten","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-08-05 18:33:27","post_modified_gmt":"2019-08-05 16:33:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/nrw-skulptur.net\/skulptur\/garten\/","menu_order":362,"post_type":"sculpture","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":30622,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2018-10-11 10:52:04","post_date_gmt":"2018-10-11 08:52:04","post_content":"This new sculpture at the center of a maze is not the only one named Kopf und K\u00f6rper \/ Head and Body<\/em>. Michael Sailstorfer has already created a series of works with the same title, which, despite their abstract forms, also have an anthropomorphic appearance. Using various materials, the artist plays with human perception in this group of works, which allows us to recognize human traits in the most abstract constellations of simple details. Examples of formal art historical connections can be made to works like Horst Antes' Kopff\u00fc\u00dfler \/ Head-Footers<\/em> or Picasso's cubist portraits. However, this nine-meter-high wooden sculpture also explores the subject of internal and external connections. Similar to an elevated hunting box, the sculpture can be accessed from a ladder, allowing visitors to observe their surroundings from inside the \"head.\" In this way, the work is able to combine inside and outside. While one visitor is hidden like a spider in its web at the center of the maze, the people who are in the park can never be sure if they are being watched from up in the \"head.\" Through visitor interaction, the sculpture comes to life and reaches beyond itself. It offers not only an excellent view over Gr\u00e4flicher Park, but also the unique opportunity to fill another head with your own thoughts.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThis sculpture was installed on the initiative of the Diotima-Gesellschaft<\/a>.\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Kopf und K\u00f6rper \/ Head and Body","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"kopf-und-koerper","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-08-05 17:47:53","post_modified_gmt":"2019-08-05 15:47:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/nrw-skulptur.net\/skulptur\/kopf-und-koerper\/","menu_order":364,"post_type":"sculpture","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nrw-skulptur.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sculpture_maps\/30441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nrw-skulptur.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sculpture_maps"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nrw-skulptur.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/sculpture_maps"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nrw-skulptur.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nrw-skulptur.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"sculpture_maps_tempo","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nrw-skulptur.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sculpture_maps_tempo?post=30441"},{"taxonomy":"sculpture_maps_region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nrw-skulptur.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sculpture_maps_region?post=30441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
