THE SCENE IS SET- PUBLIC ART HELSINGØR 2018
MARKING A RED HISTORICAL SCENOGRAPHIC LINE IN HELSINGØR
WON COMMISSION BASED ON AN OPEN CALL FROM DANISH ARTCOUNCIL.
The public art consisted of four installation parts, which together formed a red narrative line through the cityscape
and the cultural center Toldkammeret. The wish was to connect the former Customs Chamber
to its historical origins in Øresund, the old historical town
and its location today as an active cultural center in Helsingør.
The red color refers to the Oldenburg red color on the Royal Danish Customs House sign,
which hangs in the Customs House, the entrance area.
Supported by DANISH ART COUNCIL VISUAL ARTS and TOLDKAMMERET, CULTURE HOUSE, HELSINGØR.
