  Eduardo Chillida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eduardo Chillida (Chee-YEE-dah) Juantegui (1924–2002) was a Spanish Basque sculptor.
Chillida's earliest sculptures concentrated on the human form (mostly torsos and busts); his later works tended to be more massive and more abstract, producing many monumental public works.
Chillida himself tended to reject the label of "abstract", preferring instead to call himself a "realist sculptor".

 Guardian | Eduardo Chillida
Chillida's first sculptures, in plaster and clay, were of human forms - torsos and busts - but he soon moved into a realm more concrete, timeless and abstract.
There is also, in Chillida's larger works, a sense of slowed-down time in the way one must negotiate the forms and interlocking masses, and the arcs and geometries which embrace the spaces they contain.
Chillida's last public project, which may never now be realised, was for a vast cube, approached through an 80-metre-long tunnel quarried into the mountain of Tindaya, on Fuertaventura in the Canary Islands.

 97. Konzept. Eduardo Chillida (engl.)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Eduardo Chillida conceived his site-specific sculpture La jaula de la libertad (Cage of Freedom) for the open space between the LZB (Landeszentralbank in Rheinland-Pfalz and in Saarland) and the ERA (Europäische Rechtsakademie Trier).
So, here also, Chillida's work serves the conscious perception of a state of being that determines, distinguishes, and characterizes the human: the ability to will, the choice to decide; in a few words: the responsibility of freedom.
Eduardo Chillida's concept of freedom manifests itself comprehensively in this sentence: "Rather a cloud of birds in the sky, than a single one in the hand." This is the sense, in which the construction of his Cage of Freedom for the Europäische Rechtsakademie in Trier is to be understood.

 Moñtana Tindaya, Eduardo Chillida, Fuerteventura, Spain | Floornature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
According to Chillida, the project was born on a sleepless night when he came up with the idea of giving concrete form to a concept that had already appeared in his alabaster sculpture "Moñtana Vacìa" (empty mountain): finding a real mountain which he could empty out to create a mystic space inside it.
After several years of study, in 1994 the Gobierno Autònomo Canario officially appointed Chillida to the project, and in 1996 it was declared to be in the "public interest of the Canaries", meaning that it was recognised as benefiting the archipelago's cultural and economic life.
Chillida's work inside Moñtana Tindaya is a monument to tolerance, a hymn in praise of man, the protagonist in a magic space which lives its natural cycles and which allows sun, rain and the weak shadows of the moon to penetrate into the heart of a mountain.

 Deutsche Guggenheim
From July 20 to September 27, 2002, the Deutsche Guggenheim is presenting an exhibition which traces the development and parallels of the art of Eduardo Chillida and Antoni Tàpies.
Chillida's forms create space not in fact, but as a vision, and thus as "a reality which is just as substantial as the volume it surrounds." For Tàpies, too, reality exists only in the mind of the viewer, not on the canvas: for him art is the sign that awakens the reality in our imaginations.
Eduardo Chillida - Antoni Tàpies was organized by Tracey Bashkoff, Assistant Curator of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, in collaboration with Petra Joos, Deputy Director for Museum Activities at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

 Eduardo Chillida´s Tindaya Mountain, Monumental Project | Spain | Arup
Chillida then reputedly exclaimed: ''My sculpture wants the mountain, it is now time to see whether the mountain wants my sculpture'' - which is what Arup set out to determine.
Arup was appointed to lead the technical design of Chillida’s 45m x 50m x 65m 'carved space' inside Mount Tindaya - one of the largest underground caverns ever constructed and the only one of its size with a flat roof.
Chillida's vision that the space should appear 'carved' from the rock discounts the more conventional design and construction of an arched vault and suspended ceiling.

 Tindaya & Eduardo Chillida. Fuertaventura sculpture Mt. Tindaya.
Chillida obviously felt so, and out of that grew an obsession to cap his 50-year career by morphing this particular mountain into something nature never intended it to be.
It may have to do with the fact that in his younger days Chillida was scouted by two pro soccer teams as a goalkeeper, the player who determines the outcome by controlling the 'empty' space inside the net.
Chillida said he was invited by authorities in Sicily and Finland to help himself to a mountain of his choosing, but none seemed quite right.

 Eduardo Chillida
But, while there may be a persistent streak of homage to man-made habitation in Chillida's work, it is equally clear why the controlled rigor of the discipline was not right for him.
The embrace of such associations set Chillida and other European artists apart from their American counterparts who were also emerging during the 1950's and 60's.
A parallel characteristic of Chillida's art is that while it is delimited, it is hardly doctrinaire (it is hardly whimsical, either; there isn't a hint of self-parody here).
