Virkningen av migrasjon på kunstnerisk produksjon, og konstruksjonen av estetiske praksiser gjennom migrasjonshandlinger, er svært relevant i dag. Dette er et emne som krever både presisjon og sensitivitet i håndteringen. Forslaget var selvsikkert form

One of the highlights of the 2024 season was the unveiling of our two new artworks by Tatiana Trouvé in the old Wood Pulp Mill. 

“Bench” and “The Guardian” were made specifically for and in dialogue with these spaces, and allude to the workers’ community existing here until the mid 1950s. The aesthetically subtle sculptures look like abandoned old furniture, yet are made in materials such as bronze, brass marble, aluminium and sodalite. Depicting selected objects, they are meant to be protectors of ideas and bring to life otherwise marginalised or forgotten stories and knowledge.

🍂 Even though the 2024 season has come to a close, our sculpture park remains open all year for you to explore 🧡 How about an autumnal stroll this weekend?

One of the highlights you can discover is Jeppe Hein's Modified Social Benches. These playful sculptural pieces of furniture are scattered around the park, each one inviting you to sit, climb, or even try to keep your balance! 😄

Hein’s benches may look familiar at first glance, but they've been uniquely altered to transform the simple act of sitting into a fun, physical challenge. Somewhere between functional design and artwork, they make us rethink how we interact with public spaces and add an extra layer of enjoyment to your walk through the park.

🔵 Did you know that the deep blue color of the hand-blown glass in Kader Attias's work 'Whistleblower' has a rich connection to local history? Just a few kilometers south of Kistefos, Blaafarveværket (The Blue Colour Works) produced blue cobalt glass from 1776 to 1898. Even further south, Nøstetangen Glassworks, Norway’s first professional glassworks (est. 1741), provided fine glassware to the royal court in Denmark-Norway and beyond.
