Art Square and Neighborhood
inges idee
In contrast with the striking white boxes of the TAC’s architecture, artist group inges idee, creators of numerous public sculptures, have deliberately made two such pieces characterized by flowing lines: Ghost, which sits suspended above the lawn, and Unknown Mass, which seems to drip down from the top of the toilet block to peek inside. These two beings that cheekily offset the neat sterility of the buildings also resonate superbly with the other works in this outdoor setting, bringing cohesion to the space as a whole.

inges idee
inges idee consists of the artists Hans HEMMERT, Axel LIEBER, Thomas A. SCHMIDT and Georg ZEY, who have worked jointly on “art in public space” since the group was founded in Berlin in 1992. In parallel with their collaborative work, all members are active in their own individual artistic practices. Their permanent works, such as Sounds (Monheim am Rhein, Germany, 2019) and Travelling Light (Calgary, Canada, 2013), are sited in public spaces around the world. They also showed their site-specific work Undeveloped Playground at Skulptur Biennale Münsterland (Emsdetten, Germany, 2001).
