Huset i Ikast (The House in Ikast)

It is Kirkeby’s first sculpture in the public space and was constructed as a freestanding artistic structure in red brick. The sculpture is not intended as a functional building, but as an artistic expression within the urban space and through the material of brick – a material Kirkeby worked extensively with throughout his artistic career. The House takes the form of a square structure with a roof and brickwork patterns, and although it resembles a house, it functions solely as a site-specific artwork created for the public space.
