Our ninth international sculpture exhibition on Udden, the former quarry in Hunnebostrand.
We kept most of the impressive works from 2017 and 2018 and continue with our concept using the spectacular stone wall that is visible from far out at sea, famous for its magical beauty.
Uddenskulptur is a totally unique exhibition venue for sculptures. A vertical granite wall 40 meters high, a magnificent meadow where the quarry used to be and the endless sea that offered transportation to countries far away. Here the mountain meets the sea, this is a location of superb beauty!
It is with pleasure that KKV-B, the Artists’ Collective Workshop in Bohuslän, picks up the baton and arranges this year’s exhibition of Udden sculpture, focusing on the craftsmanship and its importance for the artistic expression. Stone will also have the leading role in material.
Per Agelii‘s large mushrooms will grow up from the ground and Gunnar Torvund‘s sculpture will bloom throughout the summer. Michaela Peterson‘s works break off with their words engraved in large iron plates. Furthermore, we have Henjasaj Coda‘s soft black form in diabase, Liz-Carina Karlsson‘s cones in red granite and Jan Berg‘s arch in Tranås granite.

New management for Uddenskulptur 2019

Stenstipendum
Since 1991, KKV-B has arranged a stone scholarship each year with the support of neighboring municipalities and businesspartners, Västra Götaland Region and Gerlesborgsskolan, meaning that a selected artist, who can come from anywhere in the world, can work and live at KKV-B for a month. Now we show at the Udden 2018 scholarship, Odysseas Pappas (Greece), with the work Taurus, made in local bohusus silver granite.

KKV Bohuslän is situated on an old stone industry plant and surrounded by still active quarries. We carry on craftmanship and heritige through our stone workshop where many, both smaller and larger works are produced and many commissions placed all over the country and abroad. Here you find an unique knowledge that lives and is shared between our members. Artists from all over the world live and work here during periods all year round. Therefore it feels obvious that we now take over the helm of Uddenskulptur and carry the exhibition further using the knowledge and experience that is deeply rooted within us.
