Symposium 2000

The sculpture symposium held from mid-September to mid-October 2000 took part in ten sculptors who all worked on the same natural stone, Gauinger travertine . It is sintered lime from Gauingen that is broken not far from the venue. By using this local stone, it was intended that the sculptors incorporate the environment and adapt to the character of the stone from the u. a. the nearby Zwiefalten monastery was built.

The sculptors worked on the sculptures for four weeks and the sculptures were set up from Oggelshausen in the direction of Bad Buchau. The art history symposium was accompanied by Andrea Wolter-Abele and was supported by numerous sponsors, including funding from the European Union . The rock is relatively soft, provided it was extracted in the quarry shortly before, and then hardens further. The participants in 2000 were:

Michael Dan Archer , UK Patrick Crombé, Belgium Hans Michael Franke , Germany

Uli Gsell , Germany Gerold Jäggle , Germany Marit Lyckander, Norway

Josef Nadj , Germany Axel F. Otterbach , Germany Irma Ortega Pérez, Spain
