The blue stone, Work of art in Norway
The Blue Stone is an outdoor art installation set within Norway's natural landscape. The work places a blue stone directly within the environment, allowing visitors to experience contemporary art as part of the surrounding terrain.
The installation was created in 1993 and introduced a modern artistic work into Norway's public art collection. It emerged during a period when artists increasingly integrated artworks directly into natural settings rather than confining them to galleries.
The work integrates contemporary artistic thinking directly into Norway's public spaces. Visitors can observe how modern creative expression finds a place within the natural landscape and invites reflection on art's relationship with the environment.
The work is accessible to visitors with mobility considerations through dedicated pathways. Since it is an outdoor installation exposed to the elements, visitors should plan for changing weather conditions throughout their visit.
The stone transforms its appearance based on seasonal changes and light conditions, making each visit visually distinct. This constant interaction demonstrates how contemporary artworks engage in dialogue with their natural surroundings.
