PONT DE TERRA, 1998
Plaça Víctor Siurana, Lleida, Spain
“For Jaume Plensa sculpture is more than the volume, dimensions and measurability of the world; on the contrary, sculpture is for him the presence of ideas in actual space, the connection between idea and material, the emergence into visibility and palpability of the transformative power within imagination, of the material relevance of thought. Hence, the knowledge of the fundamental stipulations of sculptural existence, the knowledge of proportion, material and technical procedure has never become a defining parameter of his work, but remains always what it should be, the equipment of the sculptor for viewing the world.”
