Sculpture By The Sea, Bondi 2014

Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi is the world's largest free-to-public sculpture exhibition with over 100 sculptures, which takes place from 23 of October till 9 of November 2014. The different sculptures are from artists all over the world and transforming Sydney’s 2 km Bondi to Tamarama coastal footpath into an amazing sculpture walk. Basically, the exhibition was established in 1997 and takes place every year during the end of October and the middle of November. Furthermore, it is the 18th annual Bondi sculpture exhibition this year.

At the moment, there can be seen 109 sculptural works and contemporary practices at the temporary outdoor exhibition. The sculptures are constructed from a diverse amount of materials, such as metal, stone or wood.  The artists of the sculptures are coming from 16 different countries. Many of them are from Australia, but in addition to that there are a few other artists from Japan, New Zealand, Sweden, Spain, Germany and the US.

Some of this year's highlights are for example Geoffrey Drake-Brockman's, "Counter", an interactive arch which counts viewers as they walk through it, a peacock sculpture by Byeong Doo-moon titled "Our memory in your place" and Peter Lundberg's "Ring“ on Tamarama Beach, which is this years winner of Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi. Besides that, the most eye-catching sculpture of all is definitely Andrew Hankin's giant frying pan on Tamarama beach, which is named "We're fryin' out here." This giant frying pan fits perfect to another sculpture by the australian artist Jeremeny  Parnell, who created the object "Big cook" some years ago in 2005. "Big cook“ was a giant fried-egg in the sand, which was inspired by the sunbathing beach goer at Bondi Beach. This beach goer is now able to fry and sunbathe in the giant frying pan at Tamarama Beach.
