The Sculpture Park / 2017–

In celebration of Kunsthal Aarhus' 100th anniversary in 2017, the park surrounding Kunsthal Aarhus was transformed into a sculpture park featuring works by Danish and international artists.

Currently on display is FOS’ Hypernormalization, a portal made of burnt larch wood that marks the transition between city and art institution, exploring how architecture and social structures shape our movements and behavior.

And Søren Thilo Funder’s Dutch’n’Dutch (What the hell are YOU? What the hell ARE you?), which questions identity, masculinity, and our relationship with pop cultural icons.

Here you will also find the work OUI by design brothers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, four circular seating installations made of galvanized steel that integrate resting, community, and function into the park's landscape.

Not to forget Willy Ørskov's Black Granite from Congofrom 1977. A minimalist work that challenges the notion that art necessarily must contain narrative or symbolism.

Or Jimmie Durham's monumental Pagliaccio non son, which consists of a mahogany trunk from Congo, originally intended for luxury yachts but transformed into a work about materiality, global trade, and transformation.

MORE ON THE EXHIBITION

Kunsthal Aarhus' Sculpture Park is an open and ever-changing artistic urban space, where Danish and international artists continuously contribute with both permanent and temporary works. The park evolves over time and invites visitors to explore sculptures and installations that create new experiences and perspectives at the intersection of art, architecture, and nature.

The Sculpture Park serves as a vibrant meeting place where art becomes part of everyday urban life. The changing works and artistic contributions make the park a dynamic space that can constantly be experienced in new ways – both for first-time visitors and for those who return again and again.
