BJØRG DYG NIELSEN (DK)

Bjørg studied art at Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, where they specialised in glass art.

​Bjørg highly values making art accessible for people who do not frequent art museums and galleries and believes that art should be decentralised and for everyone, including the text and conversation around it. Bjørg is therefore particularly interested in making art in public spaces and rural areas. ​

Today too we are here II / Også i dag er vi her II  (2024)

The idea for the work came from a trip to Norway where the artist noticed that the wooden poles that carry the electric cables look like two good friends with their arms around each others shoulders, performing the work together. You cannot tell whether the two entities are supporting each other, keeping the cables and the glass orb up, or squeezing each other.

A fitting reflection of human relations.

Lekegrind / Playpen (2024)

Playpen was made from drift and scrap wood found on the beach on the island. Inside the playpen the artist put a floatie made from a large plastic container which also was found on the island (most likely a leftover from marine industry waste). The plastic container was covered in seaweed by the artist and put in the pen. As the tide shifted the floatie would go up and down inside the playpen.

Early November in 2024 Lund had a high autumn tide which caused the floatie to escape from the playpen and start its travel back.on to the open sea. Left on the island is the empty playpen with an increasing amount of seaweed clinging on to it.
