In this unconventional retrospective project, we are returning to the traditional practice of placing works of art within significant and prominent buildings. A practice once primarily designed to impress conveys a more educational aspect when, in our interpretation, set against the background of the gallery’s architecture.
We have enhanced exploration of the building by placing sculptures and works of applied art from the SNG collections throughout various spaces of the gallery. Simply take a look, be surprised, be amazed, and see for yourself that art and architecture are compatible.
We ask what artworks in public spaces actually mean, and explore how the gallery can quietly suggest to visitors that the symbiosis of artwork and public space belongs to us, and is what we should adopt as a norm.
