Collaborative work for public art project

STUDIO MAX GERTHEL is a collaborative practice engaging in projects in the field of visual art. The studio has a extensive experience of working with artists in the realisation of research projects, exhibitions, events and public commissions. Integrating art with buildings and translating artistic visions into built work is a key competence that strengthens both the artist, the art, the architecture and has the potential of deepening public engagement.

SPINE

Spine consists of three works in the city park in Varberg, Sweden: a stone sculpture, a line engraving on an existing stone slab, and a dot engraving on existing natural stone. The works are based on illustrations and diagrams that show a study of a spine. The sculpture that rises on the hill is made of stone layers from different geographic locations, including reused stones from Varberg: Varberg granite (charnockite) and Halland granite, which belonged to the Gerlachska House.
