TRADITION-INNOVATION 2018 – ARTWALK

Preserving the new with the old: a bridge between the past and the future

The ‘Innovation-Tradition’ sculpture at the ARTWALK in Lech thematises the connection between old and new. A disused chairlift, which once stood for modern technology, is encased in two towering steel pillars. One symbolises tradition, the other innovation – two seemingly contradictory principles that enter into a harmonious dialogue here.

Preserving and enhancing

What was and will be

With its combination of historical lift and modern design, the sculpture invites us to reflect on the interplay between preservation and progress. “Tradition is yesterday’s innovation” is engraved on the sculpture, reminding us that true innovation often lies in preservation and careful adaptation. The horizontal element connecting the pillars shows how ideas and energy can flow in both directions. In this way, tradition and innovation become partners at eye level.

 

“Tradition has a meaning when it’s construed as a creative process of appropriation.”
Heinz Friedrich

Valuation as the source of development

The sculpture invites us not to discard the old, but to use it as a basis for the new, thereby creating a connection that both honours the past and shapes the future.
