About
3/6/19 between 6-8pm
Join artists Mats Bigert and Lars Bergstrom to celebrate their Solar Egg (sculpture and sauna) landing at ASI. Be one of the first to sign up and enjoy a session in the famous sauna and stay for a talk with the artists. Food and cocktails available from FIKA cafe. Sauna sessions booked separately.
A five-meter-tall golden egg sculpture (and functional sauna) will soon take residence in ASI's outdoor courtyard. The piece, entitled Solar Egg by Bigert & Bergström for Riksbyggen, was created by the Swedish art duo Bigert & Bergstrom, two of Sweden's most notable international climate-inspired artists. The installation reflects its surroundings and also acts as a chamber for the exchange of ideas. In the center of the egg is a wood-fired, heart-shaped sauna stove made of iron and stone, and visitors will be able to book sauna appointments during the exhibition period.
