About

In the exhibition series Collection Highlights, one or more works from the collection are activated every year. This year highlights the artist Tue Greenfort. His existing work Milk Heat (2009) has been restored and moved to a new site and Greenfort’s new work LUNA has been installed in the Sculpture Park. Although very different in approach, both works draw inspiration from the dairy farm at Wanås and reflect on the relationship between humans and cows.

Milk Heat allows visitors to feel the warmth of a cow’s body through a radiator, while LUNA is an artificial moon made of “bone glass,” produced using ash from animal bonewaste from agriculture—a process that reinterprets 15th-century milk glass. The artist has also added phosphorus to the glass, enabling the work to absorb the sunlight during the day and emit a soft glow at night. In daylight, the glass hasa beautiful opalescent shimmer—an eternal full moon rising over the castle and the Sculpture Park. The symbolically charged moon, which has guided humanity throughout history, may evoke associations with myth, romance, and lunacy.

Opening: March 28, 10 am–4 pm
