We remember him as being a keenly bright young man who liked to grapple with big ideas and intellectual topics and ideas.

This was one of a few installations seen at various locations throughout Munich. The sculpture by Echelman was called Earthtime 1.26 Munich and was made up a net of LED lights that impressively transformed Odeonsplatz and the Feldherrnhalle at night. The IAA took place in September in Munich instead of its usual host city of Frankfurt to the theme Mobility. Its responsiveness and adaptivity represent the notion of nature as a system explored by various key figures throughout art history, including Michelangelo and Claude Monet.Janu“Earthtime 1.26 Munich” sculpture by Janet Echelman for the IAA Mobility in Munich.ĭana (Kirby) Ettmayer (JYM 2000-01) represented Daimler AG and worked with the American artist Janet Echelman on an art installation on Odeonsplatz for Mercedes Benz as part of this year’s the IAA (Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung). The sculpture weighs 700 pounds and occupies about 3,300 square feet of total area. The sculpture is comprised of more than 361,000 individual knots formed by handmade splices of woven nylon and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene rope fibers. “My artwork reflects an interconnectedness of opposites - flexibility with strength, earth with sky, things we can control with the forces beyond us,” Echelman said. The atmospheric sculpture is in constant motion, activating the public space below while changing shape and color with the wind using a 3D data model of the earth’s floor following a powerful 2010 Chilean earthquake from which the ‘1.26’ monicker is taken. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill has once again come together with American artist Janet Echelman for a site-specific sculptural installation in Munich’s historic Odeonsplatz Square.
