Sculpture, gallery and bridge all in one—such is the new signature building, The Twist, in the centre of the art collector Christian Sveaas'south sculpture park at Kistefos. The beautiful and sensational edifice designed by the Danish star architects at Bjarke Ingels Grouping (BIG) is a must-meet for compages and fine art lovers from Norway and abroad.

An Art Icon at Kistefos
Hills, forests of pine and spruce and colorful wildflowers class a scenic landscape around The Twist, Kingdom of norway's new fine art icon. The slender, curved building is already on the listing of "must-run across" cultural destinations in international publications as The New York Times, Bloomberg and The Telegraph.
With its yard square meters, information technology forms a unique combination of a functional bridge and an amazing sculpture both from inside and outside. Information technology also gives visitors the run a risk to encounter fine art made by some of the world's foremost artists.
The twisted, white building spans in all its architectonical celebrity across the silent waters of the trout river, Randselva, connecting people with fascinating art and nature all in one place.

A Glimpse Into Another World
The sculpture park around the building is expanded with at least one sculpture every year. Every bit of 2020, there are 46 sculptures in the collection, among them sculptures fabricated by gimmicky artists such as Anish Kapoor, Yayoi Kusama, Claes Oldenburg, Tony Cragg and Jeppe Hein. Some of them are fabricated especially for Kistefos, like the sculptures "Point of View - Part 1" and "Bespeak of View - Part 2" by Elmgren & Dragset.
The company gets his first encounter with the male figure in "Point of View - Office i" when he arrives the main sculpture park expanse. The male figure looks into the park through a hole in a wall. The second encounter with the male figure is when the company goes downstairs to the basement of The Twist. There he meets face to face with the male person figure standing on the outside, looking into the building through the glass wall. His surface of polished stainless steel—well-nigh similar a mirror—absorbs all the nuances of its surrounding nature: vegetation, stones, water, light and even u.s.a..

Twist or Optical Illusion?
The movement of the slender building translates beautifully inside the edifice likewise, when the wood paneling appears to twist along with the building.
But even though it looks like the long, white, solid-woods planks are curved, it is just an illusion; all the lines in The Twist are straight. Meanwhile, the edifice's aluminum exterior hearkens to an industrial style.
Closed Gallery, Twist Gallery and Panorama Gallery
The gallery is divided into three showrooms according the architecture: Closed Gallery, Twist Gallery and Panorama Gallery. The use of planks of solid wood in the interior is in line with traditional Norwegian architecture, where wood has long been the most important material for the structure of traditional houses.
The three-office partition starts at the southern entrance to the Airtight Gallery, where the ceiling heights are infrequent and you can see straight through the edifice to the northern entrance. Leaving Closed Gallery, the building slowly slides over into The Twist, where it turns 90 degrees. Here ceilings go walls, and walls go ceilings, and one experiences the architecture of the twist itself.
On the way further towards the north archway is Panorama Gallery, where light floods into the room through high glass walls. The panoramic view of nature and the river is beautiful. I can imagine that no matter what the weather and light are like, looking out from here will exist a wonderful experience.
The History of Kistefos and The Twist
Kistefos is located about 80 kilometers northwest of Oslo past the river Randselva.
Due to its location most the river and the forests, Kistefos Træsliperi AS, a company that produced wood pulp, was founded at Kistefos in 1889. The founder of the company was Anders Sveaas, the grandfather of the Norwegian businessman and art collector Christen Sveaas who established the Kistefos area every bit we know it today in 1996.
The production of forest pulp ceased in 1950, only the machines and buildings accept been preserved. Christen Sveaas has turned the identify into a living surface area for art and culture, where people can experience the sculpture park and now too fine art exhibitions in the signature building The Twist. As Sveaas continued expanding his collection, there was a need for a modern building to showcase international art of high quality. At that place was also a demand to connect the areas on both sides of the river bank with a new span.
The thought and realization of building a gallery and a bridge into the same edifice emerged with the Danish architects BIG. Today the new fine art icon is a reality nosotros all tin enjoy.
