Mit ihrer stolzen H\u00f6he wird die Turmgestalt in der weitl\u00e4ufigen Parkanlage in Freiham von nahezu jeder Stelle wahrgenommen. Mehr als zwanzig Meter ragt ihre ungew\u00f6hnliche Silhouette in die H\u00f6he. Die farbige Oberfl\u00e4che des Kunstwerks besteht aus vorpatinierten Kupferblechen, die ein kachelartiges Raster bilden, dessen T\u00fcrkis- und Erdt\u00f6ne sich im Lauf der Zeit ver\u00e4ndern werden. W\u00e4hrend der zierlich wirkende Turmschaft an einen Maibaum oder ein orientalisches Minarett denken l\u00e4sst, erinnert die Spitze mit ihrem sinnlich gew\u00f6lbten Balkon an die Zwiebelbekr\u00f6nung eines bayerischen Kirchturms. Zudem steckt der Schaft in einer Kugelform aus gr\u00fcnlichem Beton, was dem hoch aufragenden Bauwerk eine fast t\u00e4nzerische Beweglichkeit verleiht.<\/p>\n
Die humorvolle Verschmelzung unterschiedlicher, identit\u00e4tsstiftender Formen l\u00e4sst sich programmatisch deuten und regt zahlreiche Assoziationsebenen an \u2013 ganz in der Tradition des englischen Landschaftsgartens, der sich als eine Art \u201eDenkraum\u201c verstand, als einen Ort der freien Fantasie. Auf ihn verweist auch der Titel, den das K\u00fcnstlerduo seinem Kunstwerk gab: Freiham Folly. Als \u201eFolly\u201d, zu deutsch: \u201eVerr\u00fccktheit\u201d, bezeichnete man im 18. Jahrhundert einen extravaganten Zierbau, der zur emotionalen Ausstrahlung und der heiteren, oft m\u00e4rchenhaften Atmosph\u00e4re eines Landschaftsparks beitrug. Der beliebte Monopteros im Englischen Garten in M\u00fcnchen ist eines der prominentesten Beispiele daf\u00fcr. Durch seine selbst\u00adbewusste Bildsprache verleiht der Freiham Folly dem jungen Stadtgebiet und seiner Umgebung With its lofty height, the tower in the large park in Freiham can be seen from nearly every point. Its unusual silhouette towers more than twenty meters into the air. The artwork\u2019s colored surface is made of a tile-like pattern of pre-patinated copper sheets whose turquoise and earth tones will change over the course of time. While the delicate-looking tower itself recalls a maypole or an oriental minaret, the spire, with its sensuously arched balcony, is reminiscent of the onion dome of a Bavarian church. In addition, the shaft is a spherical shape made of greenish concrete, which lends the towering structure a feeling of almost dance-like motion.<\/p>\n The humorous fusion of different, identifiable forms can be interpreted programmatically and evokes numerous layers of associations entirely in the tradition of the English landscape garden, once considered a kind of \u201cspace for thought,\u201d a place where the imagination can freely roam. The two artists also refer to this in their title for the piece, Freiham Folly. In the eighteenth century a folly was an extravagant, ornamental structure, which helped to create an emotional aura and the cheerful, often fairy-tale-like atmosphere of a landscaped park. The beloved monopteron in the English Garden in Munich is one of the most prominent examples of this. Thanks to its self-confident pictorial vocabulary, the Freiham Folly gives the new urban area and its surroundings in the west of Munich a powerful seal and forms a contemporary analogy to the cultural diversity of its residents.<\/p>\n","werk_collections":[{"ID":7702,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2022-08-02 13:25:19","post_date_gmt":"2022-08-02 11:25:19","post_content":"","post_title":"Public places (selection)","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"oeffentliche-plaetze","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-04-28 16:22:08","post_modified_gmt":"2025-04-28 14:22:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/collection\/oeffentliche-plaetze\/","menu_order":7,"post_type":"collection","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"werk_sort_data_artists":"Mutter\/Genth","werk_sort_data_access":"\u00f6ffentlich zug\u00e4nglich","werk_sort_data_year":"2019","werk_sort_data_category":"Platzgestaltung,Skulptur \/ Plastik","werk_sort_data_district":"Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied","werk_txt_context":""},"featured_image_src_1280":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/quivid-muenchen-heike-mutter-ulrich-genth-freiham-folly-kunst-am-bau-2019-01-1280x1644.jpg","featured_image_src_768":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/quivid-muenchen-heike-mutter-ulrich-genth-freiham-folly-kunst-am-bau-2019-01-768x987.jpg","artists":[{"name":" Mutter\/Genth","url":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/artist\/mutter-genth\/"}],"tax_category":"Platzgestaltung, Skulptur \/ Plastik","tax_access":"\u00f6ffentlich zug\u00e4nglich","tax_district":"Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied","tax_year":2019,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2594","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=2594"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2594\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7000,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2594\/revisions\/7000"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5271"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5270"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5269"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/1265"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2594"},{"taxonomy":"district","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/district?post=2594"},{"taxonomy":"access","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/access?post=2594"},{"taxonomy":"accessibility","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibility?post=2594"},{"taxonomy":"space","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/space?post=2594"},{"taxonomy":"year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/year?post=2594"},{"taxonomy":"gender","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quivid.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gender?post=2594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
