Hygum Art Museum
Hygum Art Museum
Hygum Art Museum is
a new experimenting art museum, which opened in 2003. The museum is
placed in an old missionary house from 1880 and is situated far away in
the countryside, where the landscape itself is part of the experience.
Being a living organism, the museum continuously develops over the
years. Every year, a new installation incorporates new works. The art
museum holds works from approximately 75 of the most leading
contemporary artists. All artists have visited the place and created a
piece of work for the purpose and donated this to the museum.
The museum is an artist’s project and has been established
through the years by Lisbeth Hermansen.
Among the artists represented in the museum are the following:
| Agnete Werner Al Masson Anette Harboe Flensburg Anita Jørgensen Anne Mette Ruge Anne Tophøj Bente Møller Bianca Maria Barmen Bjørn Poulsen Cai Ulrik Von Platen Carlo Cesta Christian Skell Claus Egemose Erland Knudsen Madsen Eva Örhling Finn Thybo Andersen Floorless Grethe Hermansen Hans Morten Hans Pauli Olsen Helle Frøsing Henning Christiansen Henrik Menne Hjørdis Hack Inge Ellegaard Jaenette Schou Jeroen Kooijmans Jesper Rasmussen Jobim Jochimsen Jonna Sejg Jytte Rex Karen Gabel Madsen Kathrine Ærtebjerg Kirsten Bak Andersen |
