Press Release
What happens when you take one of the small triangular milk cartons from a meeting room, enlarge it about 25 times, and produce it in stainless steel? With the artwork Frontier, this is precisely the question Oskar Koliander brings to life. Through his striking intervention in the landscape, the milk cartons transform their appearance, reminding us of other significant interventions in landscapes and terrains; the milk cartons now resemble coastal defense elements or tank traps, known as “dragon’s teeth.” Frontier is, in essence, a materialization of various overlapping meanings and expressions, reminding us of how agriculture, war, politics, and climate catastrophe are inextricably linked in a time when war, genocide, and climate change demand action and an understanding of the complex consequences for children, adults, and the planet.
