SCULPTOR THOMAS KADZIOLA

Since Thomas Kadziola made his debut at the Artists’ Autumn Exhibition in 1989, he has worked traditionally in stone, iron, bronze and wood with people as a point of departure, but he has also created conceptual works, such as the installation “Character Minimination Machine”, which was exhibited at Rumklang in Vordingborg in 2003, and the land art work “Kong Knud’s Mound” at Horslunde under LandArt Lolland Falster 2007.

However, he is best known for his stone heads. You can find them all over the country, from Dronninglund Art Centre in North Jutland to Svendborg, Copenhagen, Albertslund, Borup, Vordingborg, Nykøbing Falster and Nakskov.
Thomas Kadziola has participated in a number of international symposia over the years. From 1997 at the Aswan International Granite Symposium in Egypt to the Limestone Symposium in Les Géants du Nideck, Alsace in 2007. Most recently, in 2018, he participated in Kunstbetriebe in Lübeck with the work “Ib”.

Thomas Kadziola has also participated in several exhibitions in Denmark and abroad and is a permanent member of the artists’ association Stokrosebanden in Nykøbing Sj.

THE DODEKALITTEN

In a field on the island of Lolland, overlooking Småland waters, a monument that combines sculpture and music in a landscape full of history creates a unique experience.

The Dodecalith (Greek: Twelve stone) consists of 12 stone columns, each 7-9 meters high and each weighing 25-45 tons, where the upper 2 meters are carved like heads, all facing the center of a circle 40 meters in diameter.

Under a circle of sitting stones, a 12-channel sound system is installed, allowing spatial electronic music to play inside the circle daily from sunrise to sunset all year round.
