Sorcerer's Apprentice (Oberhausen)
The sorcerer's apprentice , also known as the dancing power pole , is a permanently installed work of art in Oberhausen that was created on the occasion of the Emscherkunst 2013 exhibition .
description
The approximately 35 meter high sculpture is made of steel profiles and shows the image of a lattice mast with a traverse familiar from overhead lines . But the normally straight components in this sculpture come together to form curved shapes, as if the mast were dancing with outstretched arms.
The sculpture was created by the Berlin artist group inges idee .
The work of art stands on a grassy area on the Rhine-Herne Canal near Haus Ripshorst . Its upper part is also visible from the A 42 passing north .
Renewal in 2018
After static tests revealed weak points in the mast construction, the original “sorcerer's apprentice” was dismantled in August 2018 to be on the safe side. The foundation was strengthened and from mid-September, in consultation with the creators, a new construction was erected in the same shape and size, but more durable. The measure was financed through the guarantee of the artist group.
