Background for the art installation

Galschiøt has created an art installation to bring Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) and his life and thoughts into the 21st century.

Galschiøt wants to let the sculptures enter into a dialogue with the viewer about what it is like to live in a modern pulsating city like Copenhagen.

Like Dante, he wants to involve the public in this dialogue, not least around the democratic processes - or lack thereof - in particular readability around Dante's Square.

Here, Q-Park and the City of Copenhagen want to transform Dante's current green Paradise into a Dante's black Parking Hell, despite many protests from institutions, associations, residents and businesses.
