Reflection of the Sculpture Garden

The Sculptor's Garden

In a corner of the forest that resembles a plantation, the Charlottenborg School of Sculpture began creating a reflection of the Charlottenborg Sculpture Garden a few years ago. An association of current and former students has taken over the property and launched a monumental experiment. Newly laid paths lead to the growing garden. A 5 m² hyper-detailed, ultra-thin fiber-reinforced concrete cast of a section of the Charlottenborg building—the former botanical garden on Kongens Nytorv—has been artfully erected at its own focal point. It appears as a 3D-scanned model with no back side, supported by a steel framework that defies gravity.
Adam Fenton, Siska Katrine Jørgensen, Franco Turchi, and Veronica Rigét are the sculptors behind this work.
As they say: “The curatorial theme for the 2018 exhibition at ‘Billedhuggerhaven Skovsnogen’ focuses on the idea of mirroring. The work carried out in the garden this year was done primarily to make the garden in Skovsnogen more visually and conceptually linked to the sculpture garden in Copenhagen. Notions of placement and geographical location are emphasized in order to support the foundational concept of the sculpture garden in Skovsnogen: to reproduce the environment of the sculpture garden in Copenhagen as an area for artistic production and a space for exhibition.”
