China under construction, a sculpture for Qingdao, Jimo City

Part of Jimo City, Qingdao, China

In China everywhere you go people are building houses and constucting new areas. They are constucting their future and at a quick rate.

The sculpture I made for Qingdao will be placed in a city that has yet to be built.

In the picture below, I stand next to my sculpture. In front of me there is the building-site while on the left side I can see the computer drawings on a large billboard, showing how this town will look like. A complete city with houses, theaters, sports facilities, hospitals and everything a city should have. In the sculpture park the trees are already planted.

It goes fast. In five years everything will be ready.

Four Sculptors in Lübeck

                                   Frede Troelsen, Winni Schaak, Karin van Ommeren en Jo Kley

The oldest “Way of the Cross”  (Calvary) in Germany is located In Lübeck, the famous Hanze city in the North of Germany; it’s been there since 1493. With a distance of 1650 meters the walk goes from the St. Jacobi Church to the Hill of Jerusalem.

This year four sculptors were invited to create abstract sculptures in the form of a stèle. At the same time three sculptures were created to commemorate the four clergymen from Lübeck that were killed by the fascists during the Second World War.

Eight sculptures were created on total, in Swedish granite and in steel.

I made two sculptures in granite:Sculpture for the “Way of the Cross,” placed on Gustav-Radbruck-Platz, Lübeck, Germany

Sculpture for the “Way of the Martyrs,” placed before the Lauerhof prison, Lübeck, Germany.
