Babb


Studio Björn Steinar

2021






Babb is a lively mobile designed for Reykjavík Art Museum. The work references the material world of Ásmundur Sveinsson and his evolution as an artist. Local and exotic raw materials, characteristic of different periods in his artistic practice, come together in a balanced composition through an object that brings life to the space.

Ásmundur Sveinsson (1893–1982) was one of the pioneers of Icelandic sculpture. His works reflect Icelandic folklore, society, and nature. Many of his sculptures are part of the public realm and have become familiar landmarks in the urban landscape. Throughout his life, Ásmundur believed that art should be an integral part of everyday life.

Materials: Clay, bronze, larch, basalt, steel.
