Ewerdt Hilgemann proposes 7 monumental sculptures,
single pieces as well as grouped works for exhibition on Park
Avenue, NYC during August, September and October 2014.
These sculptures are made out of Stainless Steel, a material
that relates to its surroundings by reflection.
Similar works have been realized in the past, either
on a smaller scale in public space, in private gardens, or as
indoor models.
Hilgemann’s career as a Sculptor covers 50 years of exhibitions
world wide, i.e. in Europe, Asia and the United States
of America.

Will new technologies offer a viable alternative to temporary exhibitions? That's the question that we'll try to answer through the Bruegel box, an immersive art project by the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This project is the concretization of a deep reflection on the changes taking place in the field of museology. In this digital age, the Bruegel box (or any other painter's box) will enable us to explore new possibilities and will become the setting for a new museum space. The technology will serve the art, facilitating its access when physical transportation becomes increasingly binding. It also allows us to expand the museum experience and the meeting with the art pieces, by exporting the project abroad when the work itself can't be loaned overseas anymore.After an introduction of the project, from the original ideas that initiated it to its actual production, we will share our experience with the delegates. We will review both the technical and human difficulties that were faced throughout its production.
Our overall aim is to raise questions on the future of museums in the digital age, opening up a debate. Is it this the future of the temporary exhibition? Will technology offer an alternative to broadcast our collections and enable museums to stay economically sustainable? Will future generations still be more likely to visit museums if we only can display digital or 3D printed duplicated masterpieces in order to protect our cultural patrimony? How to find the good balance between entertainment and scientific researches? And what about the "aura" of the pieces of art (W. Benjamin)? By being the 21st century museums, we need to redefine our fundamental missions.

In this week’s lecture we will continue our study of materiality – but where we have previously considered the perceptual and affectual aspects of materiality, this week we will focus on the conceptual side of materials – the way that materials signify or embody ideas.
The presentation is about installation art history, some famous examples and how it is made.
If you want a copy and some details on how to present this please message me.

Artist Statement
New York and its buildings can be viewed as a series of
giant, man-made sculptures. In their structure, Hilgemann
recognizes the same dynamics, the elements of seriality and
rhythm that define his own work.
In recent years, Hilgemann incorporates natural powers and
physics to obtain an artistic result that refers to contempo-
rary life, to innovations, as well as to the unpredictability of
nature. His creative method concentrates on imploding geo-
metrical volumes; mass and empty space molded under the
influence of forces from outside. To him, implosion represents
the inward spiral of energy to reach the core and mystery of
matter, the ultimate beauty of creation.

23. Installation and Anchoring
Hilgemann and his team are familiar with large scale sculp-
tures in public space. Careful calculations are being made
by State approved engineers to safeguard both sculptures
and environment from damage.
All sculptures will be anchored according to their height and
weight in order to resist eventual storms up to 100 miles/h
and are made of Stainless, or Corten steel.
