Mean Average & Dreamsleeper
The sculptures "Mean Average" in the foreground and "Dreamsleeper" in the background by Tony Cragg. From the guide booklet: "Dreamsleeper is, unlike many other of Cragg's works, an open structure and seemingly unstable. The spaces are as significant as the shapes themselves ... The work balances between shapes that were grown and sculpted. The sculpture stands four and a halv metres tall. Despite its size, there is something patently careful about its posture. The thin figure seems to step cautiously thrpogh Pilane's varying landscape, as if listening to the groud it traverses. The sculpture combines strength and vulnerability in a form that is both unfamiliar and strangely vibrant."
In summer 2026, a generous selection of eleven sculptures by the British/German artist Tony Cragg can be seen at Pilane Sculpture Park. The rich and unpredictable quality of Tony Cragg's aesthetic ideas is as astounding as the diversity of nature itself. And nature has been a constant source of inspiration for Cragg, who as a boy spend memorable years on his grandfather's farm in southern England. The organic and the geometrical merge seamlessly in his evocative works.
When the British newspaper The Guardian appointed "10 of the best scupture parks in Europe", Pilane was one of them.
