John Gerrard’s Pulp Press Pavilion opens at Kistefos, Norway. Pulp Press (Kistefos) 2013 is an ambitious site-specific commission by Irish artist John Gerrard. A pioneering artist operating in the area of simulation, Dublin-born Gerrard uses technologies more conventionally employed by the military and gaming industries. His installation Pulp Press is located in a 100m2 poured concrete pavilion designed in collaboration with A2 Architects for the Kistefos Museum – one of Scandinavia’s largest parks of contemporary sculpture. The museum occupies the grounds of a 19th century paper mill in Jevnaker, an hour north of Oslo, Norway. The new pavilion sits along the edge of the river Rands which powers the work by hydro-electrics – the very same river that gave rise to the original factory in 1889.
