Hartmut Renner
Hartmut Renner (born December 18, 1951 in Kleinfurra , Thuringia ) is a contemporary German metal sculptor .
Life
Hartmut Renner studied metal design from 1975 to 1980 with Irmtraud Ohme at what was then the college for industrial design in Halle, Burg Giebichenstein . After completing his degree, Hartmut Renner took a two-year traineeship with Irmtraud Ohne. He has been a freelance metal sculptor since 1982.
Exhibitions and symposia at home and abroad shaped Renner's work in particular in the years after the political change in Germany. These include u. a. the project art in urban space (Brussels / Berlin, 1996/1997), his participation in exhibitions and symposia International Sculptors Copenhagen , Darmstadt Secession , International Art and Architecture Project Berlin-Hellersdorf (1994) and from 1997 to 2000 landscape art projects for the world exhibition EXPO 2000 . His work is also taken up in the book Die Metaller der Burg - From applied metal art to steel sculpture . Hartmut Renner lives in Halle (Saale) and is a member of the Association of Visual Artists .
Act
Renner is particularly concerned with the sensitive perception of spaces and structures; for him, landscape becomes an object of art. One of the most important works is the perceptible change in the Goitzsche landscape, similar to an artificial shedding process, which is why the project was also called The Skin . The former open-cast mining area was transformed into the "world's largest art project", which was created during the EXPO 2000 world exhibition. With the multi-year project, Hartmut Renner mainly designed the constant change in the landscape in the northern area of the Pouch peninsula. In 2001 the overall Goitzsche Landscape Park project received the EDRA / PLACES Award in the “Planning” and “Design” categories. That was the first German project with such an international award.
Works in public space (selection)
Renner's sculptures, mostly made of metal, are also part of other public spaces. He often designs movement elements.
