The process of creating artistic decoration for the school has begun<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

In 2018, the school received a grant from the New Carlsberg Foundation for artistically decorating the new school at Exners Plads.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

Danish schools of architecture stem from the art academy tradition, which means art plays a significant role in the way the architectural profession is approached and developed. This grant from the New Carlsberg Foundation will strengthen our message about the role and value of art in architecture.<\/p>\n

It was important for us to wait until the building was finished before making any decisions about how the artistic decoration should be carried out. We have now been working in our new setting for eight months, and we have begun the process of creating artistic decorations for the new school.<\/p>\n

\u2018The new building will soon be able to welcome students, teachers and visitors with a distinctive artistic gesture\u2019, says Morten Kyndrup, board member of the New Carlsberg Foundation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Decorating the canteen<\/h5>\n

The New Carlsberg Foundation has chosen visual artist Kaspar Bonn\u00e9n to decorate the school canteen with a large work he will create specifically for this space. The canteen is also the school’s official entrance.<\/p>\n

“I have been working with spaces, interiors, and what constitutes spaces for many years. My main interest has been the way our surroundings become part of our lives and landscapes. This means the paintings turn into a kind of mental landscapes and maps of our inner spaces,” Kasper Bonn\u00e9n explains.<\/p>\n

“I’m curious about the way we occupy many different spaces at one and the same time, and about how we today live our lives inside an increasingly complex space.”<\/p>\n

The sketching process has already begun, and Bonn\u00e9n’s work is expected to be completed later this year.<\/p>\n

Decorating the project rooms<\/h5>\n

Apart from the canteen, the New Carlsberg Foundation will be responsible for decorating the school’s five project rooms with works created by different artists.<\/p>\n

When all the works of art are in place, an official inauguration of the works of art in the building will be held.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
