TALES FROM THE OTHER SIDE - Exhibition in the Sculpture Garden at the Spanish Tower

64289 Darmstadt, seiterswiesenweg

Under the title "Tales from the other Side", the Berlin Noack foundry and gallery and the BS Kulturstiftung Darmstadt are presenting positions of international modern and contemporary sculpture in the Spanish Tower Sculpture Garden. The bronze and nickel silver sculptures on display, spanning a period of 123 years, were all produced in the Noack foundry.

Connected by an aesthetic dimension of mystery, the exhibited artworks open up unexpected approaches to expanding the world of this world through the unfamiliar. In the context of the exhibition, the "other side" is to be understood as an imaginary, constructed counter-world to what is generally referred to as "reality", whereby it is inseparably linked to it, like a shadow. In a wide variety of formal languages, artistic strategies can be recognised that are aimed at manifestations of inner life and their origins in fantasies, dreams and visions. There are diverse cultural-historical references, such as to concepts of psychoanalysis, human thinking in utopias or the effect of knowledge about physical laws that cannot be experienced ad hoc on our world of thought.

 

Thematically, there are also links to the exhibition venue, the Spanish Tower and the sculpture garden surrounding it. The origins of the Spanish Tower are shrouded in mystery. Presumably built in its foundations and ground floor as an artificial ruin at the end of the 18th century, Charles of Hesse had the tower completed in 1954 and gave it its current name, "Château d‘Espagne", which is a French expression that metaphorically stands for utopian, unrealistic ideas or the German term "Luftschloss" (castle in the air). It was built at the time of the emergence of artistic modernism, which was also influenced by the new findings of psychoanalysis and the discovery of the aesthetic potential of fantasies, dreams, reminiscences and hallucinations. The Noack foundry was also founded at a time characterised by enormous social upheavals, which also had an impact on art. The millennia-old craft of bronze casting, in which artists have their ideas moulded in the long-lasting material of bronze, remains a unifying constant. Against this background, the works shown in the exhibition reflect the effects of these changes right up to the present day.
