The artwork “Gedankenspeicher” by Paul Takács<\/a> in front of the new district building in Lenzburg<\/a> has been realised by the construction company Hächler<\/a>. According to a press release<\/a>, the approximately seven-metre-high concrete stele was clad step by step with stones in different colours, shapes and sizes. A total of 35 tonnes of stones were used for the construction. Each of the stones, weighing between 30 and 150 kilograms, was carefully selected and placed on the stele by hand, according to the Hächler press release.<\/p>\n

The Wettingen-based construction company Hächler Group seconded its employees Reto Schwitter and Dear Sadiku for the work, who worked closely with the artist Paul Takács. Construction work began at the beginning of September with the foundations. The concrete stele was then erected as the scaffolding for the “Thought Memory”.<\/p>\n

Before the stones were installed, Paul Takács and the Hächler employees spent two days in a gravel pit to select the individual stones. Despite being delivered by crane, each stone was moved by hand several times before being installed in its final position. The aim was to create a work of art that was both aesthetically and structurally impressive. The “Gedankenspeicher” was completed at the end of September.<\/p>\n

Paul Takács was born in the USA and lives and works in Nussbaumen TG. His work includes oil painting, wall drawing, sculpture, adhesive works and video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
