Wie er da so auf seinem Gest\u00e4nge h\u00e4ngt, riesig und rot, ist der Hut schwer zu \u00fcbersehen. Genau das war der Plan von Martina Salzberg: n\u00e4mlich ein vertikales Signet zu schaffen, so eindrucksvoll wie einpr\u00e4gsam, das selbst vom vorbei brausenden Verkehrsstrom des benachbarten Mittleren Rings wahrgenommen werden kann.<\/p>\n
“Auf der Hut” hei\u00dft die Arbeit und ist genauso vielschichtig und mehrdeutig wie ihr Titel. Mag der Schlapphut auch hyperrealistisch gestaltet sein, bleibt er kein blo\u00dfes Dekor. Im Gegenteil, er illustriert buchst\u00e4blich den gedanklichen \u00dcberbau der Anlage, indem er das flache Haus symbolisch um ein sichtbares Dach erg\u00e4nzt und so auf dessen genuine Aufgabe verweist: Kindern Geborgenheit zu schenken, sie im besten Sinne zu be-“h\u00fcten”.<\/p>\n
Dass das massive St\u00fcck aus 350 Kilo Stahlblech nicht monstr\u00f6s, sondern leicht und textilig erscheint, dass es gerade durch seine realistische Gestaltung wahlweise an einen Cowboy-, R\u00e4uber- oder auch Hirtenhut (!) erinnern mag, liegt an Martina Salzbergs geschultem Umgang mit Stoffen und allem was dazugeh\u00f6rt. W\u00e4hrend sie dabei normalerweise Nadel und Faden benutzt, bem\u00fchte sie in diesem Falle den Schwei\u00dfbrenner – wobei sie die Schwei\u00dfn\u00e4hte als Selbstreferenz bewusst bestehen lie\u00df.<\/p>\n
Der Effekt, den die Bildhauerin erzielt, ist der Gleiche wie in vielen ihrer Arbeiten, n\u00e4mlich die Bezugspunkte zwischen H\u00fcllen beziehungsweise Oberfl\u00e4chen und den sich dort manifestierenden Inhalten zum Thema zu machen. So wie ein “echter” Hut den Menschen charakterisiert, der ihn tr\u00e4gt, verbildlicht in diesem Falle der st\u00e4hlerne Hut in sieben Metern H\u00f6he den Charakter des Geb\u00e4udes als W\u00e4rme und Geborgenheit spendender Schutzraum.<\/p>\n","werk_map":true,"werk_collections":[{"ID":3761,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2022-11-07 10:46:58","post_date_gmt":"2022-11-07 09:46:58","post_content":"","post_title":"Kunstspaziergang in Sendling & Schwanthalerh\u00f6he (\u00f6ffentlich zug\u00e4nglich)","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"kunstspaziergang-in-sendling","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-04-04 09:58:51","post_modified_gmt":"2025-04-04 07:58:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/?post_type=collection&p=3761","menu_order":23,"post_type":"collection","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":7705,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2022-08-24 12:15:17","post_date_gmt":"2022-08-24 10:15:17","post_content":"","post_title":"Artworks in daycare centers (selection)","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"kunstwerke-in-kitas","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-04-28 16:24:47","post_modified_gmt":"2025-04-28 14:24:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/collection\/kunstwerke-in-kitas\/","menu_order":21,"post_type":"collection","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"werk_artists":[{"ID":1314,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2022-06-28 16:30:26","post_date_gmt":"2022-06-28 14:30:26","post_content":"1972 geboren in K\u00f6tzting\r\n1992-94 Studium der Romanischen Philologie, LMU, M\u00fcnchen\r\n1995-02 Studium und Diplom an der AdBK, M\u00fcnchen\r\n2000 DAAD-Stipendium f\u00fcr die ENSB-A, Paris\r\n2003 DAAD-Postgraduierten-Stipendium, New York\r\n2005 Deb\u00fctantenpreis des Bayerischen Staatsministeriums\r\nf\u00fcr Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst\r\n2006 Bayerischer Kunstf\u00f6rderpreis\r\n2007 USA-Stipendium des Bayerischen Staatsministeriums\r\nf\u00fcr Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst\r\n2009 Bildhauerinnen-Stipendium K\u00fcnstlergut, Pr\u00f6sitz\r\n2011 Artist in Residence-Stipendium, Stiftung Progr, Bern\r\n\r\nAusstellungen (Auswahl)\r\n\r\n2014 Zeitgen\u00f6ssische Kunst in der Oberpfalz,\r\nCordonhaus, Cham\r\n2013 Gemeinsame Wege, ehem.

Hanging there on a pole, gigantic and red, the hat is hard to miss. That was precisely Martina Salzberg\u2019s plan \u2014 to create a vertical kind of signet, as impressive as it is memorable, which can be seen even by those in the stream of traffic roaring past it on the adjacent Middle Ring. The piece is called “Auf der Hu”t (a term derived from the word h\u00fcten, meaning \u201cto tend to,\u201d although the word Hut also means \u201chat\u201d), and it is just as multilayered and ambiguous as its title. Even though the slouch hat is hyper-realistic, it is not simply a decorative piece. On the contrary \u2014 it literally illustrates the facility\u2019s conceptual superstructure by symbolically adding a visible roof to the flat building, thus referring to its actual task: to give children a sense of security, to \u201cshelter\u201d them in the best sense of the word. The fact that the massive piece, made of 350 kilograms of steel, does not appear monstrous, but light, somewhat like fabric, and that its realistic design may recall a cowboy or even a shepherd\u2019s hat (!), has to do with Martina Salzberg\u2019s skilled treatment of fabrics and everything having to do with them. While she normally uses needle and thread, in this case she employed a welding torch, deliberately leaving the welds as a self-reference. The effect the sculptor achieves is the same as in many of her other works \u2014 namely, to take the points of reference between shells or surfaces and turn them into a theme for discussion. Just as a \u201creal\u201d hat characterizes the person who wears it, the seven-meter-tall steel hat in this case illustrates the character of the building as a shelter that provides warmth and security.<\/p>\n","werk_sort_data_artists":"Martina Salzberg","werk_sort_data_access":"\u00f6ffentlich zug\u00e4nglich","werk_sort_data_year":"2014","werk_sort_data_category":"Skulptur \/ Plastik","werk_sort_data_district":"Sendling-Westpark","werk_txt_context":""},"featured_image_src_1280":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/quivid-muenchen-martina-salzberger-auf-der-hut-kunst-am-bau-2014-01-1280x1918.jpg","featured_image_src_768":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/quivid-muenchen-martina-salzberger-auf-der-hut-kunst-am-bau-2014-01-768x1151.jpg","artists":[{"name":"Martina Salzberg","url":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/artist\/salzberg-martina\/"}],"tax_category":"Skulptur \/ Plastik","tax_access":"\u00f6ffentlich zug\u00e4nglich","tax_district":"Sendling-Westpark","tax_year":2014,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2468"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2468\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6394,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2468\/revisions\/6394"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5165"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/1314"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2468"},{"taxonomy":"district","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/district?post=2468"},{"taxonomy":"access","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/access?post=2468"},{"taxonomy":"accessibility","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibility?post=2468"},{"taxonomy":"space","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/space?post=2468"},{"taxonomy":"year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/year?post=2468"},{"taxonomy":"gender","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gender?post=2468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
