HAVSJUK

trees and timber, rope and stones, whale bones, woodwork, boats, a trailer, and paint.
dimensions variable.
An architectural wardrobe, a wreck, a survival strategy, a trap, or a nest. Havsjuk is a sculpture constructed from found and recycled materials sourced from the surrounding area. The work explores fragility and vulnerability, local conditions, and a longing for new places to gather. A contemporary robinsonade on the outskirts of Villa Furulund. The piece is based on a series of exploratory walks the artist has undertaken in and around the park in recent weeks.

Havsjuk is a sculpture that can be touched, moved through, and explored – a spatial invitation to empathy and engagement. With its ambiguous construction, Anders Kjellesvik introduces a piece to the park that is playful, serious, and unsettling all at once. The installation has served as a refuge; now it stands as an open stage – a place where the audience is invited into a possible dramaturgy. At the top of Carl Berner, overlooking the city, Havsjuk rises as a reflection on the local and on a world out of balance – on the boundaries between captivity and freedom.
Special thanks to architect and boat owner Håvard Arnhoff, and to the neighbors at Hekkveien 3, for their labor, generosity, and access to the forest.
