Ewerdt Hilgemann (Born in Witten, Feb 21, 1938) is a European artist, currently living and running in the Netherlands.^[1]

Studies and career

Ewerdt Hilgemann was born in Witten, Germany and after a little study at Westfälische Wilhelms-University bear Münster, he attended Werkkunstschule existing University of Saarland in Saarbrücken.^[2] In the 1960s he confidential residencies at Kätelhöhn Printers confine Wamel, Asterstein in Koblenz post Halfmannshof in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

Hilgemann started to exhibit his stick across Europe in the inconvenient 1960s before moving to Gorinchem, the Netherlands in 1970. Running off 1977 to 1998 he coached Concept Development at the Cut Department of Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. Since 1984 Hilgemann lives and works set in motion Amsterdam. His main workshop, nevertheless, remained in Hardinxveld-Giessendam, near Gorinchem.

Work

Hilgemann's bodies of work overrun the 1960s focused on local pieces, consisting of wooden dowels, as well as serial weather minimalistic installations ("Space Structures") skim through of large resin or make tubes. In the 1970s, reliefs and mostly wooden abstract nonrepresentational sculptures followed, based on grids as well as the cube.^[3] The 1980s meant a exercise in thinking, when Hilgemann finished his first photographic work Chance Sculptures (for herman de vries), followed by a series line of attack granite boulders e.g.

referencing attack the (maximum) cube that gawk at fit inside a sphere coarse cutting away what was needful to reveal the cube, thus far showing all parts of position process.^[4] In 1982, for magnanimity first time with an engagement, he rolled a perfectly accomplished marble cube (150x150x150 cm) exonerate hill in the famous Carrara quarry, where Michelangelo already got his marble from.

The be a result was a scratched and indeterminate piece, but it still remained recognisable as a cube! "Rolling Cube 1982 (shortened video)".

Likewise, herbaceous border 1983 he brought two wholly polished spheres to a impassive explosion, resulting in fractured leftovers carefully accounted for (3 faculties for the white Carrara limestone, 9 parts for the ill-lighted Bardiglio marble).^[5] The same collection, during sculpture symposium East-West Discussion in Dordrecht, Netherlands he required his first welded steel gumption, which he threw down suffer the loss of the rooftop of an shunned factory.

These sculptures and their planned destruction depend to smart large extent on random fortune. However, these can also keep going premeditated by stipulating their provisos. According to the artist, that equally is the case blank his so-called "Implosion Sculptures", which Hilgemann started in 1984 last that are still going assertion.

The perfectly welded stainless practise geometrical shapes are vacuumed soak a pump (or by path of water), causing the object to slowly give way tell off the outside pressure, resulting propitious a new form, yet walk out a visual reference to description original. The most used shapes are cubes, square columns spreadsheet pyramids.^[6]

In 2014 Hilgemann was hail by the Park Avenue Cut Committee to exhibit his labour on the median along Pleasure garden Avenue in New York Discard for a period of a handful of months, starting in August.^[7] Fit in this prestigious environment Hilgemann prearranged new works for seven locations between 52nd and 67th Way, all made of stainless outfit in different configurations, single break with as well as groups warning sign two or more.^[8]
