UDDEN SKULPTUR

Udden Skulptur

Udden Skulptur is an international sculpture exhibition at Udden in Hunnebostrand, a historic quarry and one of the finest in Sweden, where the most qualified stone works were carried out from the mid-19th century to the middle of the 20th century.

Here were most advanced stone works carried out for impressive buildings such as the Post Office in Gothenburg, the University and the Swedish Telecommunications Administration, parts of the Riksdag House in Stockholm, parts of the Svinesund Bridge and the bridge in Hovenäset. Artists came here to work together with the skilled stonemasons to make monuments and works of art, such as the Sibbarbs Monument at the Sound by Bror Marklund.

This site is now an exhibition space for sculpture that is completely unique in the world with a vertical 40 m high granite wall, a large meadow where the quarry was located, and the endless sea that offered the transport of stone to distant lands. A place with magnificent beauty that has everything that Sotenäs and Bohuslän’s tourism industry rests on: an untouched nature and everyone’s access to the coast.

Since 2023 is StoneZone the principal for Udden Skulptur, with the support of the municipality of Sotenäs, funds from the Swedish State and private sponsors.

StoneZone is a meeting point for professionals working with granite, or stone in general. StoneZone is located at the Westcoast of Sweden, in the centre of the Bohusgranite area and a place for stimulating, developing and exciting meetings in the spirit of art and culture.
