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.

The complex, expansive installation, developed especially for the building’s rotunda and comprising wallpaper, window curtains, translucent room dividers, and sculptural tables, forms the café’s new surroundings.
