In many ways, Gard's sculpture at Olbernhau station seems to pretend to be something that it is not in terms of material.
With his large-format sculpture Plywood, made from powder-coated sheet steel, artist Jay Gard ironically combines the world-famous Hollywood landmark with the history and disappearance of wood and copper production in Olbernhau. Jay Gard was born in Halle/Saale in 1984 and grew up in Karl-Marx-Stadt (Chemnitz). He now lives and works in Berlin.
