Here’s a classic little excerpt, where what’s being written and the subject matter is completely at odds!
The Model – A Model for a Qualitative Society transformed the Moderna Museet, Stockholm, into an adventure playground. Over the course of three weeks in October 1968 The Model saw more than 20,000 children make use of the jungle gyms, climbing ropes, water chute, foam rubber ‘diving pool’, theatrical costumes, carnival masks, LPs and turntables, swings, and many other elements that comprised the playscape. The project remains one of the most ambitious museum interventions to date, yet is still a relatively unknown episode in art history.
Roughly translated, it says that the concept artist Palle Nielsen created a huge playground in a museum and it’s great fun! Some may say that this is cheating when trying to attract younger audiences to museums, but we say the hell with it. It’s good fun!
Fun, which is now open to all at that great modern art museum ARKEN, which is nestled on the beautififul sandy shores south of Copenhagen.
Keep your children well entertained this summer and take a moment to enjoy the art as well…..
