Zeitspuren Jura I 2003

September 19 – November 8

On the occasion of the 80th birthday of HAWOLI, the Kunstverein Springhornhof shows photographic works by the sculptor, who was born in Bleckede and has been living and working in Neuenkirchen since 1973 in the Lüneburger Heide.

The relationship between nature and culture is the basic theme of his work. In his sculptures HAWOLI confronts the raw unworked stones with the artificial worked steel. It is less well known that he has always experimented with the medium of photography in parallel with sculpture. In the darkroom, he reproduces his own photographs, most of which are recordings made of quarries, handmade paper or stone surfaces. The light and shade of the photographic image, the brush stroke when applying the emulsifier liquid, and the natural structures of the stone form an exciting symbiosis.
With numerous exhibitions and installations in the public space, HAWOLI is one of the region’s most important cultural representatives. Since 1967 he took part in numerous exhibitions, eg The Duisburger Lehmbruck Museum (1969), the Kunstverein Hannover (1977) and the Berliner Haus am Waldsee (1993/94). The Kunsthalle Mannheim (1993), the Städtische Galerie in the Buntentor Bremen (1994) and the Kulturforum Lüneburg (2005) devoted him to larger individual exhibitions. With work for the public space he has coined the cities of Bremen, Hanover and Lüneburg. He supported and accompanied his sister Ruth Falazik (1927 – 98) in the founding of the project “New Artistic Landscape” and the art association “Springhornhof”.
