“Wonders in Wood” showcase to feature exquisitely crafted creations in wood
This year, Hall 17 will once again be wholly dedicated to Wonders in Wood, a special presentation comprising a sales exhibition and gallery-only displays. The sales exhibition will feature the works of around 20 craftsmen and artists who were selected from a large pool of applicants. These works can be purchased by interested collectors.
The themed gallery-only displays will be supplied by wood sculpture students from the FE College of Design and Technology Flensburg, who have been invited to exhibit their works at LIGNA as part of an initiative to foster emerging talent in the fields of sculpture and carpentry.
The Wonders in Wood sales exhibition and themed displays can be seen on each day of LIGNA HANNOVER 2011 (30 May to 3 June), from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The displays in the gallery-only area have been specially put together for this year’s Wonders in Wood presentation by students from the FE College of Design and Technology Flensburg. They give some insight into the projects the students and instructors have been working on recently.
In addition, this year, for the very first time, the College’s second-year wood sculpture students will be taking part in the all-new LIGNA Young at Art emerging talent competition.
The Young at Art award was initiated by Deutsche Messe and is supported by Michael Weinig and Wemhöner Surface Technologies. The media partner for the award is the trade journal Exakt, which is published by DRW-Verlag.
The theme for the 2011 Young at Art award is “Growth.” The works produced by the participating students will be on show at Wonders in Wood.
Artists, artisans, faculty members and students from the FE College of Design and Technology Flensburg will be at LIGNA for the duration of Wonders in Wood and look forward to expert dialogue with visitors.
"Young at Art" was initiated by Deutsche Messe AG. The media partner for the award is the trade journal "Exakt", which is published by DRW-Verlag.
The purpose of the competition is to give the Wonders in Wood presentation an even stronger emphasis on the artistic use of wood materials and to provide more targeted support for young artists and craftspeople specializing in the wood medium
