"Jeg har koblet to forskellige billeder sammen. Den ene er en gensplejsning. En nål går gennem en form, der splittes i to dele, der vender og drejer sig. Det andet billede er af en tømmerflåde, der sejler på bølgerne i det midtjyske landskab. Tømmerflåden består af en mast og en rund plade, og derpå er der kroppe som passagerer." - Bjørn Poulsen
Forskningscenter Foulum kom til verden i 1984. I etaper kom forskere inden for husdyr og planteavl fra flere forskellige steder i Danmark. Byggeriet er sket etapevis og med dette, anskaffelsen af kunstværker. En del af midlerne til at købe kunst har været til rådighed, fordi der ved ofentligt byggeri skal anvendes en procent af byggesummen til kunst. Billedhuggeren Erik Varming har udvalgt en stor del af de kunstnere som har skabt de store udendørs skulpturer. Forskningscenter Foulum er idag hjemsted for mere end 50 imponerende kunstværker indendørs og udendørs.
Der er arbejdende personale i alle bygninger på stedet, hvilket man bør respektere – færdsel på stedet skal ske på de anlagte stier og evt. anvisninger fra personale skal efterkommes.
This sculpture gives you an opportunity to study and think. What does the artist want to show us? 360 cm tall located on a small hill, this work is a very special creation.
"I have connected two different images. One is genetic engeneering. A needle pierces a figure that is split in two and that twists and turns. The other image is of a raft sailing on the waves of the central Jutland landscape. The raft consists of a mast and a circular surface upon which there are bodies as passengers.
Research Center Foulum came to be in 1984. By stages the researchers in animal science and plant science moved in from various places in Denmark. The building work also took place in stages and, with that, the acquisition af art. The funds for buying art where avalible due to the fact that in public construction project in Denmark, one percent of the building cost must be allocated to the acquisition af art. The sculptor Erik Varming selected most of the artists who have created the large outdoor sculptures. Today Research Center Foulum is home to more than 50 impressive works of art indoors and outdoors.
There are working staff in all buildings on the site, which should be respected - traffic on the site must be on the trails and instructions from staff should be followed.
