About the competition

Sculpture Point: Ekebergparken is a competition for newly established artists who work with three-dimensionalart field.The project aims to highlight sculptural artworks in public space.The project is developed by Ekebergparken, C. Ludens Ringnes Foundation,Talent Norge, Sparebankstiftelsen DNB and Norsk Billedhoggerforening (Norwegian Sculptors Society).

In this project four different artists will be chosen to produce and display their own work in the sculpture park.Through their different expressions of form and substance, the individual artworks will enter into a dialogue with the park’s nature as well as its permanent art collection.As such,the project aims to elevate the public conversation regarding what three dimensional art is and can be.

The nominations are done by Ekebergparkens Art Council in collaboration with representatives from leading Norwegian art institutions. For each artwork there will be organised specialized mediational programs, seminars and workshops, as a contribution to the conversation on three-dimensional art in public space in Norway.
