Wannas Art Gallery


Wannas is a very cool art gallery in a rural area about 2 hours from Karlskrona. Situated on an old dairy farm that is still in production, there are dozens of installations in old outbuildings and throughout the forest grounds. All of these pieces were tagged with small placards just as they would be in traditional art galleries. I regret forgetting to take down names, so that now I cannot give credit where it's due.


There are several of these ceramic stumps throughout the park.


It is a very cool scene, to be wandering through the woods and come upon, say a mass of floating clear balloons. Or a small cottage with no door and sounds of laughter coming from inside. Or a matte black rock. A tree with pants on. The hidden speakers calling "mama!" throughout one section were delightfully unnerving. Good stuff. I would have recorded more but for my camera, which is incredibly frustrating to operate. The sea water inside it is like a poltergeist, turning it on and off, taking pictures or refusing to do so, all on its own.


This is an apartment, but without walls, floors or ceilings, or a building. Just all of the plumbing and electric.


And here is a bronze statue relieving herself whilst taking in the lovely view.

  2. Interesting stuff. Though the art isn't as shocking to me after you pointed out that glass pooper in the park in your prior post.
