Art Projects 2023

The year offers both humorous and profound works by the prominent Swedish artist Carola Grahn and Art Weekends where you are invited to participate in creative activities together with the artists. In open workshops in the studio and activities outside in the park, we meet the artists Molly Haslund (March 4–5) and Jacob Dahlgren (April 7–8) who both have appreciated works with a permanent place outside the sculpture park to get to know their artistic process and be inspired for your own creative exploration

On May 6, the summer's sculptural art commission by artist Carola Grahn (b. 1982) launches in the sculpture park.

With traces of dark humor, and references to popular culture and Sami traditions, the artist prompt reflection on issues concerning power structures, land and ownership, the future of the planet and our way of life.
