Interventions
The Fridericianum’s Interventions series invites artists to develop site-specific works that activate, accentuate, or transform previously unused spaces and visitor transit areas of the museum beyond the regular exhibition spaces. These site-specific works that, to date, include wall paintings, outdoor sculptures, and sound installations, remain on display for an extended period of time, with some becoming permanent features of the building.
