Musical magic in southern Langeland
Art, sound and playing with materials
In the southernmost art tower on Langeland – Art Tower 12 – Bjørn Eriksen invites you into his poetic and playful sound universe. Here you will not encounter traditional instruments, but homemade sound machines created from everything from bed bases and metal shot glasses to bellows. The tower, which has been given the title ‘The Bell Tower’, is a tribute to creativity, recycling and the unexpected paths of sound.
A thought-provoking experience for both children and adults
Bjørn Eriksen works with the contrast between chance and precision – and you will experience how something as simple as an untuned guitar can be the start of a musical journey. The Art Tower is not just a visual installation, but a space where you can almost hear the thoughts behind the work. The philosophy is simple: everything is sound, and everything can become music.
Part of Denmark's longest art exhibition
The Art Tower in Bagenkop is one of 12 transformed transformer stations that make up Denmark's longest art exhibition. Each tower artist has created a unique expression, and in Art Tower 12 you can clearly sense the personal touch and passion for sound, poetry and playing with form. Here you will find not only art, but a whole narrative in sounds and constructions.
