Art is hard work. First, there is a long period of planning, but after that, there is action and the fun. The sculptor Bogomir Ecker, professor of sculpture and a participating artist of the documenta, finally can begin with his most appreciated work: abrading, hammering, molding – or, in a nutshell: creating his two most recent sculptures.

Two sculptures, a street lamp, and new water music

City

Metropole Ruhr
These days, more than 5 million inhabitants do experience the transformation of their post- industrial Ruhr area in the western part of Germany to an exciting European „place to be“, a budding metropolis in a post-Capital of Culture 2010 identification process with its industrial culture as part of a collective memory being a characteristic feature – and an orchestrated mass event.
