Something to talk about – public art with porcelain in concrete structures

The title of the public art is ‘Ullerud garden: something to talk about’. Healthcare buildings for elderly people. These are architectural ceramics and art in public space as an interdisciplinary collaborative project in the city of Drøbak, made in collaboration with landscape architect Mona Kramer Wendelborg. The garden should be a place where you have something to talk about. For many, Ullerud garden will be the last place they rest their eyes – the last place they hear the sound of birds, to see the snow fall or the trees sprout. It has been important to make arrangements for both patients, relatives and staff to be able to use this new place – all in their own way. We made sure that there are many opportunities to find exactly the place that suits this particular day. For relatives and employees who are, for example, involved in palliative care, it should be easy to find ‘something to talk about’.
