Last chance! Lunchtime tour of Come as you are! …and other new acquisitions
Last chance for all colleagues at Lund University to join a guided tour of Skissernas Museum’s major exhibition presenting a selection of the hundreds of acquisitions added to the museum’s collection in recent years. The sketches provide exciting insights into the artists’ work processes and how ideas emerge and take shape.
The exhibition shows models and sketches of some 50 designs for schools, parks, squares, multistorey car parks, sports centres, underground stations and various service facilities. Here, you can learn more about Astrid Göransson’s sketches for Kom som du är! (Come as you are!) (Riksplan, Stockholm, 2022), take a closer look at Klara Kristalova’s full-scale model for Sjöhäxan (The Sea Witch) (Le Havre, 2022), Emma Kronvall’s model for Ensamräv (Lone Fox) (Karlstad, 2019), Jockum Nordström’s model for his triumphal arch Triumfbåge för halta (Stockholm, 2022) and feel the expectation and energy in the air before a football match through Veronica Brovall’s models for Battle Cry (Olympia, Helsingborg, 2017).
In 2023 Skissernas Museum received a large donation from the German foundation, Stiftung Arp e.V., consisting of plaster casts for the artist Hans (Jean) Arp’s sculptures. The donation is invaluable for researchers and others who wish to deepen their understanding of Arp’s creative process and vision. The plaster casts were an important and central part of Arp’s creativity and working method. Arp’s models from the donation are presented in the exhibition Kom som du är! …och andra nyförvärv. (Come as you are! … and other new acquisitions).
