Art & Culture Lab: Contemporary Sculpture and Spatial Experience

Art & Culture Lab, based in Ebeltoft, Denmark, serves as the multidisciplinary creative platform for Bo Jessen Fogh Laursen. The practice is deeply rooted in a background encompassing philosophy, economics, and architecture, allowing it to unfold across diverse disciplines to explore the nuances of perception, spatial experience, and the ways in which material environments influence human interaction. Projects within the Art & Culture Lab portfolio range from intricate sculptural works and collectible furniture to complex exhibition architecture and site-specific commissions. Central to the work of Art & Culture Lab is a profound sensitivity to how spatial and atmospheric conditions impact presence, attention, and movement. This approach involves working with a vast array of materials and scales, from intimate hand-built objects to immersive, large-scale spatial constructions. Materials such as wood, metal, clay, glass, and digital media are treated as responsive agents that carry narratives of tension or stillness. The development of participatory spatial methods is a hallmark of the lab, inviting audiences to engage situatedly through movement, light, and structural cues. Notable projects include the Life Extending Modular System (L.E.M.S), reSonance 1+2, and the research initiative Exploring Perception and Worth (EP&W). Through these endeavors, Art & Culture Lab continues to challenge conventional boundaries, creating dialogue with institutional and environmental contexts while opening new ways of sensing and inhabiting space in Denmark and beyond.
