"Museum" is what Polish artist Monika Sosnowska calls her new concrete installation at Princess Estelle's sculpture park on Djurgården in Stockholm.
Sosnowska, who works in the borderland between art and architecture, has this time used marble capitals manufactured in the 1830s for what was to become a new Swedish art museum. The initiative was taken by Karl XIV Johan, but despite ten years of planning, the museum was never realized. The hundreds of ordered marble parts have been stored since then, but now Sosnowska has cast eleven of them into her sculpture.
Her "Museum" will be inaugurated on June 3 at Rosendalsterassen, where the original museum was once intended to be located.
The public sculpture park has previously featured large-scale works by, among others, Alice Aycock, Yinka Shonibare, and Charlotte Gyllenhammar.
