The 2010 Wood Scultpure Symposium ”WOOD 2010”
Opening of the symposium will be held on Wednesday 24 June 2010 from 6 p.m. in the garden of the Villa Tomas Bata. You are all welcome.
The twelfth year of the International Student Sculpture Symposium „ Wood - Dřevo 2010“ was opened by the Thomas Bata Foundation rather non-traditionally, earlier than usually, on 14 June 2010. The invitation to participate was accepted by students from art colleges in Poland, Slovakia, Austria and Czech Republic. 6 students will took part this year. The students will work continuously in the premises of the Bata Villa for 10 days and their efforts will be concluded by a presentation of the new sculptures at the exhibition opening held on 23 June 2010 from 18:00 pm in the gardens of the Bata Villa. The exhibition opening is open to the public for free.
The objective of the Foundation is, in the spirit of former Bata traditions, to develop the talent of your artists, give them space to execute their ideas, to try working with different materials and devices and to present their works to the public. This year the students may work with a hundred years old oaks. Oak wood ranks among the most suitable materials for sculpting work due to its properties. The gardens and premises of the Bata Villa have become the ideal space for exhibiting the wooden sculptures; currently more than 30 works of art are exhibited in this “Sculpture gallery in the open".
This year’s symposium will offer one specialty, when all the participating sculptors will work jointly on a wooden sculpture during Saturday, which will be created from a huge elm tree in the park opposite the Bata Villa. The son of the late prominent Slovak sculptor Rudolf Uher, the academic architect Michal Uher (Expert Guarantor of the symposium), created a model of a sculpture based on the sketch of his father, which will be the subject of activity of our young sculptors under the supervision of the experienced artist. The new object will culturally enhance the park “under the lime trees”.
The history of the sculpting symposia organized by the Tomas Bata Foundation for students of both local and international art colleges dates back to 1999. In 1999 the Foundation organized its first own symposium with a free topic and the material worked was wood. The year before the Foundation was involved in a workshop in the stone quarry near Žlutava as one of the organizers, where students worked with stone.
The workshop is organized and financed by the Foundation, with the gratuitous help of the following companies: Baťovy lesy a statky, Husqvarna, Pozimos, Švehlák nářadí, Renomix and others.
