Portrait of a sculptor |
Copper sculptures representing human figures performing an apparently impossible balancing act on the top of a very tall pole of carbon fibres. They are functioning as a logo and eye catcher for many events throughout the UN Decade for Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014). The project was launched during a UN conference in India by our co-operator Lars Myrthu-Nielsen from the Danish Eco-network. |

Eleven copper sculptures of 10 year old girls in natural size, inspired by the tale of Hans Christian Andersen. The girls hold a bundle of matches in one hand – a mobile phone in the other. The sculptures made a tour through Denmark in connection with the municipal elections to highlight children’s living conditions in 2005. The project was carried out in co-operation with the Educationists’ Association, BUPL. |

In the Belgian city Ghent an eight metre high biblical Golden Calf coated with 24-carat gold foil took the lead in a procession of artists, the Clown Army, samba dancers and citizens. Belgian campaigner Mathias Bienstman said: One can see the Golden Calf as a symbol of the idolatry of return and profit. The sculpture will call the banks to account. Why our savings go to weapons, dictators, sweatshops and other unethical investments? |
