TAILIEUCHUNG - The large-scale sculpture "Tiger and Turtle - Magic Mountain"

“Designing Outdoor Sculpture Today for Tomorrow” was written for sculptors, owners, art managers, architects, landscape architects, engineers, fabricators, foundry personnel, conservators, community groups and others who care about outdoor sculpture. Allies in the broader field of public art will find this a useful tool too. This guide was written by their colleagues—Glenn Wharton, conservator, with assistance from Rita Roosevelt, public art specialist, and Mark Rabinowitz, sculptor and conservator. Art consultant Françoise Yohalem, conservator Janet Hughes, sos! project staff and sculptors were especially helpful in reviewing text and securing images | Von presse@ presse@ Betreff The large-scale sculpture Tiger and Turtle - Magic Mountain by Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth Mum 19.

Lately the sleek curved shape of a rollercoaster highlights widely visible the highest peak of the park-like designed Heinrich Hildebrand Hohe in the South of Duisburg. The dynamic sweeps and curves of the construction inscribe themselves like a signature into the scenery and soar till the height of 21 meters. From a distance the metallic glossy track creates the impression of speed and exceeding acceleration. Viewed from close up the supposed lane turns out to be a stairway which elaborately winding follows the course of the rollercoaster. The visitor can climb the art work by foot. Although the course describes a closed loop it is impossible to accomplish it as the looping emerges to be a physical barrier. On top at the highest point of the sculpture - 45 meters above ground - the visitor is rewarded with an extraordinary view over the landscape of the Western Ruhr. Tiger and Turtle refers with its immanent dialectic of speed and deadlock to the situation of change in the region and its turn towards renaturation and restructuring. While the sculpture conveys an absurd twist regarding the inherent expectation of the image created by a rollercoaster it reflects its own role as potential trans-regional lanmark which will be inevitably pocketed as image. It counters the logic of permanent growth with an absurd-contradictory sculpture that refuses a definite interpretation. With 44 x 37 meters base and 21 meters construction height the sculpture is not only one of the largest in Germany but also a masterpiece of engineering. Especially the draft of the stairs developed in collaboration with Arnold Walz .
