The preparation for Copenhagen International Wood Festival 2010 is already started – stay tuned
WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A KILOMETER OF WOOD?
WoodWorks challenges you to get your tools out and set your imagination free for the Copenhagen International Wood Festival – the first of its kind in Denmark.
Find two teammates, come up with a design for a sculpture created in wood and then build it in a public exhibition in Øster Anlæg park this August.
Participation is free and fifteen creative teams (each with 3 members) will be selected to take part.
WoodWorks will supply unlimited amounts of wood and screws. We will also set up a camp during the festival with a café serving lunch and dinner for the participants and safe containers to keep your tools in.
A jury of art and architecural experts will select 3 prizewinners but the real prize will be transforming one of Copenhagen’s most beautiful parks (just across from the National Art Museum) into a landscape of inspiring forms.
