About The Exhibition
As the name suggests, Sculpture in Nature is all about the interaction that occurs when art is placed in nature and not as customary in the neutral white cube. This interaction has always been of great importance at Artipelag, not only through the position of the artworks but also through the architecture and how nature’s elements find a place inside and are allowed through walls and ceilings.
Sculpture in nature includes artworks by Nordic and international artists. In the permanent exhibition, we find Jaume Plensa, Maria Miesenberger, Berlinde De Bruyckere, Lars Nilsson, Klara Kristalova, Joel Fisher, Per Kirkeby and more.
Sculpture in nature is an ongoing process, and new artworks – both permanent and borrowed – are continuously added to the exhibition. The artworks are sometimes also given new positions to form new contexts and keep the exhibition's dynamic format.
News!
Annika Liljedahl's artwork "Cocoon/Shell" will be featured in Sculpture in Nature during the summer of 2024.
"Cocoon/Shell," created in 1997, is made of silk fabric, lacquer, iron wire, pins, and acrylic paint. The piece was exhibited during Stockholm's year as the European Capital of Culture in 1998 at the sculpture park at Görvälns Castle, and since 2021, it has been part of the Artipelag collection.
What does it look like? You'll have to experience it in person, so come out to Artipelag and see for yourself.
