Munkeruphus har inviteret SKULPTURI til at befolke Gunnar Aagaard Andersens gamle atelier og bolig med diverse skulpturelle objekter, der viser bredden af de enkelte medlemmers forskellige arbejdsmetoder og materialer, men som samtidig manifesterer gruppens fælles insisteren på hele tiden at udfordre og gentænke skulpturbegrebet. Ligesom den enkelte skulptur i sig selv agerer et møde eller et aktionsfelt, man som beskuer går i samtale med, så er de enkelte medlemmer i Skulpturi ikke kun til i sig selv og for sig selv. De går rundt om skulpturen sammen. Går i dialog og sætter benspænd for hinanden.

Munkeruphus has invited Skulpturi to populate the former studio and residence of Gunnar Aagaard Andersen with sculptural objects illustrating the scope of the various materials and working methods used by individual members. Simultaneously the exhibition manifests the group’s shared insistence on challenging the concept of sculpture. Just as each individual sculpture enacts a meeting or a field of action for the viewer to interact with in its own right, the members of Skulpturi do not exist solely in and of themselves. Together they circumnavigate the field of sculpture, entering into dialogue and occasionally tripping one another up.

Gennem en række værker, der er beslægtede med arkitektur, installationskunst, design, performance kunst og landskabspleje, er fokus rettet mod forholdet til beskueren og hans / hendes daglige rum. I omfang matcher de enkelte værker udstillingsbygningens monumentale rum, men i kraft af deres sanselighed, deres tilstedeværelse og deres integritet, bliver den monumentale karakter undergravet og erstattet af interaktion og dialog.

Through a number of works that are kindred to architecture, installation art, design, performance art and landscaping, the focus is aimed at the relationship to the viewer and his/her everyday space. To be sure, the individual works, with respect to their scale, match the exhibition building’s monumental halls, but by virtue of their sensuousness, their presence and their integrity, monumental character is subverted and replaced by interaction and dialogue.

SKULPTURI er det første udstillingssted i Danmark udelukkende dedikeret til samtidsskulpturen. SKULPTURI’s målsætning er at vise den bredde og rigdom, der gør sig gældende indenfor skulpturarbejdet i dag både i Danmark og internationalt. Åbningsudstillingen er en hyldest til skulpturen i alle dens forskellige udtryksformer, til en genre i vedvarende udvikling og med en fortsat vedkommende indfaldsvinkel til verden. 

SKULPTURI is the first exhibition place in Denmark that is exclusively dedicated to contemporary. SKULPTURI’s objective is to show the breadth and richness that manifest themselves within sculptural work today — both in Denmark and internationally. The opening exhibition is a tribute to sculpture in all of its various forms of expression, to a genre in ongoing development and with a continually relevant approach to the world.
