GIC TALK TITLE: Selected Sculptural Projects
We were honored to have Tommy Støckel with us for today's GIC Talk. Tommy Støckel, an artist from Denmark whose studio is now located in Berlin came to the GIC to discuss about sculptural art. Today, he showed us a lot of his sculptural works and shared his interpretations about art.
First of all, Tommy Støckel presented pictures of his sculptural works, then he introduced the inspiration, the meaning, and the working process of these works. He mentioned that he would like to go to different places in order to access the source for creative inspiration, as he doesn't have any difficulty to adapt to a totally new environment. He said that, as a artist, he should try something new and interesting to attract people and use his own way to explain his works. He highlighted that the more challenges to his artistic creation, the better. He also introduced his own book, Studio Font. Each letter, and key punctuation marks, are allocated an object, which makes 36 different objects in total. These objects were sourced from Støckel’s studio. The 36 objects are presented as chapters in the book, with each one accompanied by a text explaining its origin.
Thank you Tommy Støckel for sharing with us some of your great art works. I believed that through today’s GIC Talk, the audience will have a better understanding of sculptural arts.
