In their massive construction and their spatiality, Magdalena Jetelová large wood sculptures have an architectonic character. Along with the gigantic proportions, the relationship between the formal idea and the space has always contributed to this quality as well. These two installations went one step farther by broadening the idea of sculpture and countering the idea that a sculpture is independent of its surrounding space.

Domestizierung einer Pyramide (Domestication of a pyramid, 1992), Jetelová’s largest project to date, was installed in the two-story atrium of the Osterreichisches Museum
