箱根雕刻森林美術館　THE HAKONE OPEN-AIR MUSEUM - 展覽資訊

In the creation of a piece of sculpture, various ideas by the artist and production processes may be utilized. Sculptural pieces can be born from certain happenings or things the artist notices in everyday life. To better understand sculpture, in this studio we would like to show how hints or ideas, experiments, production processes, models, and sketches can be transformed into sculptural pieces.

From maquette to a full-sized sculpture

Henry Moore《Maquette for Carving: Points》
Before starting a large sculptural work, Moore would make some small maquettes (template models) in order to review the shape and composition. He would then enlarge those shapes so small as to fit inside the palm of his hand.

From maquette to a working model

Henry Moore《Upright Connected Forms》
Henry Moore《Upright Internal / External Form: Flower》
When making a large-scale sculpture from the same composition as a maquette, Moore would make an intermediate-sized model (working model). He would then enlarge that working model uniformly to create the final large-scale sculpture. In this work, the larger external form is protecting the smaller internal form.

From maquette to a full-sized sculpture

Arnaldo Pomodoro《Maquette of “Sphere within a Sphere”》
The polished surface of the outer sphere and the inside of the inner sphere, which seems to have been eaten away, are in stark contrast to each other. This work also seems to show advanced machine civilization threatening life on earth.

How a bronze sculpture is made

Kyoji Nagatani《Astrolabium no.1 — Space-Temporal Vibrations》
The work is made by casting which is a process of pouring molten metals into a mold where the metals solidify.

Materials, forms and space

Ryo Inoue《Our Sculpture Class:Grade 3, Division 3》Animation 1ʼ30ˮ
Ryo Inoue is a composer / producer who single-handedly creates lyrics, music, songs, animations, and production. He created this animation based on three themes for sculpture: “materials”, “forms”, and "space".

Virtual sculpture

SHIKUMI DESIGN《Transform Yourself into a Sculpture》
If you stand in front of the display, an avatar representing you in the form of a sculpture will appear in the outdoor exhibition area shown on the screen on the wall. How your sculpture looks will vary depending on the season and the weather.
