Destination & Design

Copenhagen - One day in the Danish Capital

 

 
 

Kivik - A photo series documenting the constructed forms situated within Kivik Art Centre, an outdoor sculpture park on the south east coast of Sweden. With new additions to the park each year, it is a place for art, architecture and design.

 
 

^ Installed in 2018, Sol LeWitt’s Nine Towers is a 5 meter high structure consisting of close to 4,000 white custom-made cinder blocks. The work is highly representative of his art, a sculpture, but created with architectural means and materials. A collonade and a temple that challenges the visitor both visually and physically, and which activates the beautiful surrounding landscape with great contrast and mathematical sharpness.

^ Designed by David Chipperfield and Antony Gormley. The pavilion, which was constructed in two months, is a sculpture entirely in concrete. Formed of three interlocking 100 metre-cubed volumes, the pavilion offers the visitor three different ways of experiencing the landscape around Kivik. 'The Cave' offers the enclosed feeling of being in the dark forest; 'The Stage' is a horizontal volume open to the landscape, where one looks out but is also exposed; and 'The Tower' ends in a platform 18 metres above the ground, where one is rewarded with spectacular views towards the Baltic Sea.
