Martin Steinert „wooden cloud – Dare and Do“

This work of art grows – with every step, every signature, every story. Martin Steinert is building a walk-in sculpture made of squared timber at Tollwood: two intertwined spirals form Yin and Yang at the main entrance to the summer festival. For years, the sculptor has been creating ephemeral sculptures in open studios around the world that carry wishes and hopes. In these works, the “wooden cloud – the architecture of wishes”, people formulate their wishes and fears, their thoughts and messages on wooden slats. In the entrance artwork “wooden cloud – courage and making”, which will be created at Tollwood, Tollwood visitors will make statements about their personal next courageous step. The artwork thus becomes a chronicle of determination. Together, everyone creates art that can not only be viewed, but also experienced and shaped.

Creative artworks

Strong as a lion

Lions symbolize courage and strength. And so this summer, two expansive lions made of wooden slats will greet everyone at the entrance to the Tollwood Summer Festival – as a symbol of the
motto “Courage and action”. Wood sculptor Franz Jäger has given them shape – powerful and inviting at the same time. A whole family of lions was created in workshops with the wood sculptor. Courage is made visible here. At the end of the festival, these works of art will be auctioned off for a good cause.

Museum of the Moon

With his “Museum of the Moon”, British artist Luke Jerram has designed Luna according to NASA’s measurements and specifications at a scale of 1:500,000. Dreaming under the moon in a relaxing atmosphere.

Ruheoase

Peace and quiet in everyday life. In the middle of a Korean rock garden with a babbling fountain, benches invite you to take a seat and relax – in the oasis of peace.

Adam Stubley: Motto- art

These words give courage. Adam Stubley’s word sculptures are an integral part of the Tollwood Festival. COURAGE, WE ALL and VALUE PEOPLE – symbols of commitment and a visible sign of this year’s festival motto “Courage and Making”.

Nature works

The wooden sculptures by Japanese artist Mukai Katsumi are inspired by nature. Created live at Tollwood last summer, they tell of the courage to use creativity to create something new.

Ludwig Frank: Water temple

The Water Temple by Ludwig Frank, whose art has long characterized Tollwood, combines Far Eastern art with modern design language. Inspired by his travels, it invites you to pause and opens up new perspectives.
