在2010年的10月15日到2010年的11月12日，纽约艺术家Tom Fruin在丹麦皇家图书馆广
场放置了这个户外雕塑。这个白天黑夜都很耀眼的彩色雕塑用掉大约1000块再生有机玻
璃废料，玻璃被焊接在框架上，形成墙壁和屋顶。这个宛如花园里的小屋，本意希望给
繁忙的工作人员带来一个城市避难所。
艺术家的作品通常反映了对城市，社会，环境的关注。这个作品可以看成一个立体的药
物袋。作品可以轻松的放在大货车上，到处移动。30个人合作一个下午就能安装完毕。

这个色彩绚丽的彩色雕塑同时加入了音乐元素。
New York artist Tom Fruin has recently completed a new monumental outdoor sculpture
entitled Kolonihavehus. It was on view in the plaza of the Royal Danish Library from
October 15 to November 12, 2010.
Composed from roughly one thousand scraps of reclaimed plexiglass, the house-shaped
sculpture is a beacon of light at night and a temple of color by day. Each plastic piece is
framed by a hand-made frame of welded angle iron which in turn is welded together - forming
walls and a soaring roof. The work takes its name and inspiration from Copenhagen's
ubiquitous kolonihavehus: a modest garden shed originally intended to give state workers
a refuge from cramped living conditions in the city.
Known for making artwork from found drug-bags, Fruin's work is informed by the urban
environment. Often focusing on the overlooked or discarded remnants of society, he
re-interprets and re-works the collected material to produce works reflecting his relationship
to the surroundings. This house sculpture can be seen as a three-dimensional expression
of his drug-bag works. While the content of the piece speaks of the humble community
gardens, the form of the structure is reminiscent of exagerated roof peaks with exposed
wood beams visible throughout the country.
The house is designed to be nomadic: it can be transported in a large van. The house
structure, designed by architect J.D. Messick, breaks down into 30 individual panels
and can be assembled in an afternoon. There is a pivot mounted door with hand-made
hinges, and several operable windows. The found plexiglass scraps, which range in
size from 2x2 inches, to 24x36 inches, were scavenged from a variety of sources: a
defunct plexi distributorship outside of Copenhagen, a closing picture framing shop, the
basement of the Danish State Art Workshops, and the dumpsters outside the Danish
Architecture Center.
The luminescent multi-colored sculpture is a collaboration with CoreAct, a c
openhagen-based performance company headed by Anika Barkan and Helene Kvint.
The piece will be brought to life by daily performances exploring the concrete poetry of
Denmark's own Vagn Steen, and includes computer controlled light sequences by
Nuno Neto and a sound installation by Astrid Lomholt. Tom Fruin and Anika Barkan
have worked extensively in New York City, and this is Fruin's first collaboration with
CoreAct in Denmark.
