"...The nearly 200-year-old original pieces, originally intended to adorn the museum's facade and interior, are now integrated into an open installation. Sosnowska's sculpture forms a room, surrounded by the landscaped park on the Rosendalsterrassen hill. Is it under construction or a ruin of the museum that never came to be?"

The spatial sculpture captures the duality of the architectural fragment as ruin and opportunity. Fragments that are able to arouse feelings about the utopian and incomplete as well as the sadness of what never became. Thus, the sculpture is in itself also a museum of the king's unrealized projects.
The playful form that dissolves the underlying logic of order is placed in a long history of architectural art: from postmodern classics such as Piazza d'Italia in New Orleans to Giovanni Battista Piranesi's Roman fantasy monument and the vanities of the English park. A concrete column shaft rests on a marble capital, a hollow base forms a hole in a wall, an upside-down Corinthian abacus balances delicately on top of a portal.
Architectural fantasies like these have long fascinated ruin romantics, something that Sweden has not been spoiled with. Perhaps because our history contains few ruins? The fact that a research project on the fate of the museum is being presented at the National Museum this autumn is welcome.
The work Museum succeeds in both managing a tradition and activating the memory of the place. Even from a distance, it invites curiosity to be viewed in the lush greenery.
On Tuesday, a new work will be inaugurated in the Princess Estelle's Sculpture Park in Stockholm.
Therese Bohman thinks Sosnowska's "Museum" is the best contribution so far.
På tisdagen invigs ett nytt verk i Prinsessan Estelles skulpturpark i Stockholm. Therese Bohman tycker att Sosnowskas ”Museum” är det bästa bidraget hittills.
