Appreciation towards Tom Fruin for providing the following description:

在2010年的10月15日到2010年的11月12日，纽约艺术家Tom Fruin在丹麦皇家图书馆广场放置了这个户外雕塑。这个白天黑夜都很耀眼的彩色雕塑用掉大约1000块再生有机玻璃废料，玻璃被焊接在框架上，形成墙壁和屋顶。这个宛如花园里的小屋，本意希望给繁忙的工作人员带来一个城市避难所。

艺术家的作品通常反映了对城市，社会，环境的关注。这个作品可以看成一个立体的药物袋。作品可以轻松的放在大货车上，到处移动。30个人合作一个下午就能安装完毕。玻璃材料有大有小，来自哥本哈根周边的画框店，丹麦国家的艺术中心地下室，丹麦建筑中心的垃圾箱。

这个色彩绚丽的彩色雕塑同时加入了音乐元素。

New York artist Tom Fruin has recently completed a new monumental outdoor sculptureentitled Kolonihavehus. It was on view in the plaza of the Royal Danish Library fromOctober 15 to November 12, 2010.

Composed from roughly one thousand scraps of reclaimed plexiglass, the house-shapedsculpture is a beacon of light at night and a temple of color by day. Each plastic piece is framed by a hand-made frame of welded angle iron which in turn is welded together – forming walls and a soaring roof. The work takes its name and inspiration from Copenhagen’s ubiquitous kolonihavehus: a modest garden shed originally intended to give state workers a refuge from cramped living conditions in the city.

Known for making artwork from found drug-bags, Fruin’s work is informed by the urban environment. Often focusing on the overlooked or discarded remnants of society, he re-interprets and re-works the collected material to produce works reflecting his relationship to the surroundings. This house sculpture can be seen as a three-dimensional expression of his drug-bag works. While the content of the piece speaks of the humble community gardens, the form of the structure is reminiscent of exagerated roof peaks with exposed wood beams visible throughout the country.

The house is designed to be nomadic: it can be transported in a large van. The house structure, designed by architect J.D. Messick, breaks down into 30 individual panels and can be assembled in an afternoon. There is a pivot mounted door with hand-made hinges, and several operable windows. The found plexiglass scraps, which range in size from 2×2 inches, to 24×36 inches, were scavenged from a variety of sources: a defunct plexi distributorship outside of Copenhagen, a closing picture framing shop, the basement of the Danish State Art Workshops, and the dumpsters outside the Danish Architecture Center.

The luminescent multi-colored sculpture is a collaboration with CoreAct, a copenhagen-based performance company headed by Anika Barkan and Helene Kvint. The piece will be brought to life by daily performances exploring the concrete poetry of Denmark’s own Vagn Steen, and includes computer controlled light sequences by Nuno Neto and a sound installation by Astrid Lomholt. Tom Fruin and Anika Barkan have worked extensively in New York City, and this is Fruin’s first collaboration with CoreAct in Denmark.
