Maison de la Culture, Concrete sculpture, M Pan by JLBG
Maison de la Culture, Concrete sculpture, Marta Pan, 1967Located on the terrace of the Maison de la culture, close to the main entry, this sculpture indicates the access and the meaning of the building. Two identical interwoven elements form an ovoid sculpture. They are immobilized in a side movement of slip. This work falls under the series of the sculptures with hinges.
The fundamental components of the sculptural thought of Marta Pan are found in this work. The movement is expressed in the duration and marks a separation. The two independent elements find their true direction in the bringing together; the duality is represented in a relation of complementarity. Lastly, this work falls under the architectural space of the House of the Culture and finds here a social vocation; if it evokes a union in love quite naturally, it indicates in a metaphorical way the function of reception and communion of the House of the Culture. The beauty comes from the sublimated forms and nudity.
