60 cinder cones on an industrial site . 1966, environmental exhibition, Solingen

After finishing school and after an apprenticeship as a steel engraver, Löbach attended the technical school for metal design and metal technology in Solingen from 1961 to 1963 . There he was confronted with the design areas of craft, art and design and was particularly encouraged by the sculptor Artur Waßerloos to create his own artistic work. In 1961 Löbach presented a sculpture to the public for the first time in an art exhibition in Solingen. From 1963 to 1967 Löbach studied industrial design at the Werkkunstschule Wuppertal. He received particularly interesting suggestions from his teacher Werner Schriefers , who, as an informal painter, introduced the technique of collage as part of his basic teaching, an artistic style that would later become important for Löbach's own work. For the designer Odo Klose, Löbach designed a lathe with ergonomically shaped control elements as a final thesis.

From 1967 to 1968 Löbach was an industrial designer at Brown, Boveri & Cie. active in Mannheim and designed control panels for industrial plants and those for lighting systems in theaters and television studios. From 1968 to 1975 Löbach taught as a lecturer in industrial design at the Werkkunstschule Bielefeld, which was integrated into the technical college from 1972. There he set up a design department for the design of industrial products and made contact with companies in the economic region of East Westphalia, which supported the development and design work with specific projects. In addition to his teaching activities, Löbach studied sociology at Bielefeld University from 1971 to 1975 and focused on industrial culture , organizational sociology and communication theory. Since 1975 the study opportunities for the discipline Industrial Design were concentrated in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and, in this context, dissolved in Bielefeld, Bernd Löbach accepted an appointment to the Department of Experimental Environmental Design at the University of Fine Arts in Braunschweig . There he represented the Industrial Design department in this interdisciplinary postgraduate course . From 1975 until his retirement in 2007 Löbach taught as a professor in Braunschweig and his areas of teaching were design history , design theory and design project support.

Early artistic activities - environmental exhibitions

Visual adventure trips through East Friesland: Stacked coal sacks . 1969, environmental exhibition, Groh Gallery, Oldenburg

At the technical school for metal design and metal technology in Solingen, Löbach had learned all the classic sculpting techniques and, due to the subsequent study to become an industrial designer, developed a preference for smooth organic shapes, as they were known from Hans Arp . In addition to the orientation towards the work of other artists, however, the own observation of nature came early on, which was stimulated by the subject of nature studies at the Werkkunstschule Wuppertal. Rough, cracked natural forms, shaped by chance processing, were worked out in a sculptural manner and shown in a first separate exhibition in the Remscheid City Theater in 1964 and exhibited in the German Blade Museum in Solingen in 1965 .

An important observation by Löbach was that in nature and in human work processes, three-dimensional objects emerge that were not planned as works of art , but that have aesthetic qualities that are valued in works of art. So he began to show his "visual experiences" in the form of environmental exhibitions. Interested parties were encouraged by invitation cards to visit the sculptural events directly in the environment. "60 cinder cones on an industrial site in Solingen" , "Wintered bird nests in a forest area near Bielefeld" , "34 grit boxes on the B 62 between Siegen and Laasphe" , "Haystack on a meadow" were such exhibitions with randomly created sculptures. In 1969, in collaboration with the Hekuba gallery in Düsseldorf , Löbach showed four large construction sites at the Werstener Kreuz, in which road barriers, stacked stone slabs and dug ditches were marked as negative spaces by small title plates. Since Löbach no longer created works during these activities, but pointed out what was already there, he came to the decision in 1969, based on an exhibition with discussion in the Von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal, to choose "Hinter" as the job title . This is how the name "Bernd Löbach -weiser" came about . This avoids the annoying discussion as to whether this procedure is art or not. That was not what Löbach wanted, because he did not want to make art, but rather to draw attention to creative environmental events. The highlight of these activities were “visual adventure tours through East Friesland” . According to a catalog, interested parties could drive a selected route from Oldenburg to Norderney in order to view the environmental objects cataloged along the route. Art critics saw this as a German contribution to Land Art , which became topical in the early 1970s.

Environmentally critical art

Two cubes of still breathable air . 1971, bicycle campaign, La Linea Gallery, Bern / Switzerland

Around 1970 the mass media began a worldwide discussion of environmental problems. From today's perspective, this was the beginning of the ecological movement . Löbach, who until then had dealt with nature and the environment in a relatively naive way, understood that artistic skills can be used to support the development of critical awareness of environmental problems. Photos of a campaign in which signs with the inscription "Caution, throw household waste in this fir tree protection" were placed in the forest were distributed to the mass press by the Agency Associated Press and published therein. This was a new way of distributing artistic messages, abandoning the well-established way of gallery and museum and achieving a much greater publicity. A bicycle tour through Bern in 1971, during which Löbach and his gallery owner Fernand Hofer rode through the city's car traffic with “cubes of still breathable air” on their heads, caused a worldwide sensation and many television companies took over the visual reporting of this event. Löbach's “Environmental Critical Art” was born.

In the years that followed, Bernd Löbach critically wrote many works on environmental issues. It created collages , object boxes, objects, interior designs and actions involving materials of the throwaway culture were processed directly. These works became the inventory of a traveling “museum for throwaway culture” that was always a guest in other institutions. Between 1983 and 1998 , around 100 exhibitions with the museum's holdings were held around the world, including in collaboration with 18 Goethe Institutes . The visitors did not come to art, rather the art went to the visitors to the places where they were anyway, in pedestrian zones, town halls, town houses, cultural centers, theaters, libraries, general education schools, adult education centers, universities, church institutions, environmental protection organizations, artist galleries , and art associations. In cooperation with schools, educational activities were carried out and the students' work was also shown in exhibitions. On the basis of the visually effective material exhibited, this led to lively discussions about current problems such as the profit-oriented consumption of resources, environmental pollution, environmental pollution and environmental poisoning.

The Museum of Modern Art Weddel

In addition to his own artistic activities, Löbach was always concerned with the works of other artists whom he valued and collected their works. The result was a collection of contemporary art that has grown to a considerable size. In addition to works of graphics, painting and sculpture, special collecting areas such as Fluxus art, mail art , rubber stamp art, artist banknotes and artist stamps developed, for which Löbach also organized exhibitions and published catalogs. A specialty of the museum is the Rubber Stamp Gallery . There are rubber stamps from over 50 artists with whom Löbach maintains contact, which were determined in their design by a motif of the respective artist and a slogan. The artist has one copy of the stamp available, one is in the museum and is used for correspondence as a distinguishing mark and program mark.

According to Löbach, art can be used to analyze and criticize environmental problems, and design to improve the environment. The three-step analysis, criticism and creative improvement can be carried out with the media of art and design. Löbach's teaching activities at the University of Fine Arts in Braunschweig built on this. In the history of design and ecology-oriented design theory, he conveyed and developed the theoretical foundations for creative action with students. The contributions made in the seminars have been summarized in sixteen publications. Social and ecology-oriented topics were dealt with in practical design projects. Mobile pollutants , electric cars , filling stations for electric cars , waste oil disposal stations , milk dispensers for supermarkets , household waste separation systems were projects that were worked on from the analysis of the pending problem to the three-dimensional model. Löbach taught as a visiting professor at the Musashino Art University Tokyo / Japan in 1991 and at the Tecnológico de Monterrey / Mexico in 2007 .

author

Bernd Löbach recognized early on that an artist must endeavor to disseminate his activities via the mass media if he wants to stimulate many people. That is why he has always committed himself to conveying his concerns and content through printed matter. The titles listed below always give an indication of the sub-themes of environmental problems that Löbach deals with in his art.

Since his retirement in 2007, after 39 years of teaching, Löbach has been working as a freelance book author and is concerned with the design ideology of biomorphism, which he deals with in the fields of art, architecture and design. It is about the nature-oriented design of the material environment, the biomorphic, organic, dynamic shape of the objects and buildings that surround us and that we use. Of particular interest is their effect on our psyche and the degree of well-being that they trigger. This discussion is to be published in eight volumes over the next few years.
