Kivik Art Museum
Exploring the relationship between photography, architecture and landscape
2007
Introduction
Kivik is the first phase in the establishment of a new contemporary art centre in Kivik, Sweden. Snøhetta, together with the Norwegian artist and photographer Tom Sandberg, have produced five temporary pavilions that combine art and architecture for the new centre.
The project is a series of explorations of the spatial and temporal relationship between photography, architecture and the landscape.
