Dániel Erdély’s Spidron-sculpture
Modelled as a composition of spridron-components (spidrohedrons or spiralling triangles), this piece of plastic art is exhibited in Steigenberger Herrenhof Hotel in downtown Vienna, almost opposite the Burg. Hanging underneath the glass ceiling, this spatial module evokes the clouds of Greek myths, but to some extent its forms also remind us of the designs of today’s fighter planes invisible for radars. However, the spatial geometry „invented” by the artist has a cheering effect in this mundane multistar Viennese environment due to the material and the palette chosen for it. This sculpture forms a sacred pole of a hotel space being a piece of angular Secession set in 21st-century eclecticism.
