Mark di Suvero: Galileo



Mark di Suvero's works deal with the subject of the moment of movement in a symbolic sense. In contrast to their virtual stasis and centered calm, his sculptures appear to carry dynamic expressive powers which actively pervade the surrounding area. The overriding impression they give is one of merely latent and imaginary mobility, even though there are sometimes moving parts on his sculptures.


Simple Structures, Openness, Accessibility and Clarity

In the mid-sixties, the sculptor exchanged his artist's atelier and gallery for urban and natural space. His sculptures, which are made of building timber, metal supports and T-beams, now have an enormous sense of presence about them.
Both his earlier and more recent works encourage the beholder to conquer them physically, enticed by their simple structures, openness, accessibility and clarity. One likes to walk through them and around them, to look up at them or observe them from a distance, experiencing the suspense inherent in their immaterial correlations with the surrounding space.

Against Instrumental Reasoning

The dynamic quality of his work is directed against the utility shapes of the world in which we live, against a 'world of right angles'. The individual shapes of his sculptures are directed against the instrumental reasoning of our urban structures.

Störtebeker Festspiele



SDC14111


SDC14094


On mild summer evenings you may hear canons roaring and see pirate ships landing on the coast of Rügen. Then the freebooter Klaus Stoertebeker has awakened to a new life on the outdoor stage of Ralswiek.

Störtebeker and his Likedeel mates stirred up trouble on the Baltic Sea in the 14th century. Above all, Hanseatic trade vessels had to beware of the pirates. Finally Stoertebeker was taken prisoner and executed in Hamburg in the year 1401 together with many of his mates. Hence the Stoertebeker legend was born describing the pirate as a "Robin Hood of the seas".

Every summer a new adventure in the life of Klaus Stoertebeker is portrayed on the Ralswiek outdoor stage at Jasmund Bodden. The production is extravagant: more than 100 actors, about 30 horses, several ships, impressive birds of prey and countless special effects contribute to the success of the show. When finally spectacular fireworks over the Baltic Sea close the evening, you might feel the presence of Stoertebeker’s spirit over Rügen.
