프로젝트개요

지난2003년청계천복원사업추진당시부터기획된청계천조형물프로젝트는서울시립미술관의자문을거쳐추진되었으며공공장소에예술품을설치하는공공미술이니만큼시민들에게보다양질의작푼을보다쉽게체험하기위해대중성과예술성을두로검중받은작가우레데버그와그의부인브로젠의공동작업작품을설치하였다한다.

이작품은외부는탑처럼위로상승하는나선형의다슬기모양으로다이나믹하고수직적인느낌을연출하여복개된청계천의샘솟는모양과도시서울의발전을상징하며내부는푸른색과붉은색의리본형태로DNA의나선형구조를연상시키면서자연과인간의결합을상징하고있다.또한기존의박에서바라보기만했던공공미술작품과는달리내부를직접확인할수잇는터넬구조로외부에서는입구를통해내부를볼수있도록설계되었다.

조형물의자료는구리나돌등의단일한자료가아니라스테인레스스틸알루미늄섬유강화프라스틱등의혼합매체를사영하여내부는부드럽고평면적으로외부는거친표면으로대조를이루었다.
