Running Track

Inges Idee // 2010

Polyurethane paint, polyurea coated EPS foam

Running Track is a monumental hybrid between a runner and a racetrack; it seems abstract and figurative in equal part. This intensely coloured sculpture combines the concrete, graphic aesthetic of sport (the lines of a racetrack, the sole of a running shoe, the stripes of athletic clothing) with the sculptural power of a dynamically curving form. The striking graphic quality of the lines and the exaggerated perspective give the work an explosive dynamic that is reminiscent of an animated cartoon. 

With its vitality and expression of movement, Running Track refers directly to the activities at the recreation centre, and inspires us to connect with the joy and playfulness of being physically active.
