Kirsten Ortwed
The exhibition "Full Length" emphasises the sculptor Kirsten Ortwed as one of Denmarks's most important sculptors. Kirsten Ortwed (b. 1948) has garnered great international acclaim for her work through the years, e.g. her striking scuptures and decoration work in public spaces.
Tons of Circumstances, 1997
Traditionally a sculpture is an upright figure or form, often cut from stone or cast in bronze. Tons of Circumstances breaks with this tradition. It consists of a series of scattered island formations in sandblown alluminium and tangled metal chains which spread out on the floor. Some of the islands look like moulds, the shells used to cast a sculpture. We do not know whether the fragments and chains are coming together or if they have been torn apart, but the sculpture illustrates the movement and energy contained in the creation. Tons of Circumstances focuses on the moulds, the space and the energy, i.e. the elements that are the basis of the creation of a sculpture, and lets them become a work itself
