Aarhus 2020

— Frederiksbjerg Skole

For Frederiksbjerg Skole in Aarhus, Danish artist Andreas Schulenburg created the site-specific artwork Krusedulle på papir (“A Curlicue on Paper”), designed for the school’s large common area. Crafted primarily from felt, the artwork features a giant A4-sized felt “sheet of paper” with a black wool doodle curling naturally across its surface. A three-dimensional pencil appears to be actively drawing the curlicue, bringing the piece to life with a sense of movement and creativity.

Schulenburg, known for his whimsical felt sculptures, captures the playful curiosity and spontaneous creativity that students experience when starting a new project. The artwork celebrates the humble act of doodling — that simple, unconscious line that often sparks new ideas.

To engage the school community, Schulenburg invited seventh and eighth grade students to participate in the creative process by submitting their ideas for what the doodle could look like. Their contributions, combined with Schulenburg’s sketches, inspired the finished curlicue, highlighting the beauty of everyday gestures.

Krusedulle på papir is a tactile, approachable, and visually engaging piece that invites wonder and conversation. Supported by the Danish Arts Foundation and curated by Creator Projects, it transforms the school’s common area into an inspiring space that encourages creativity and reflection.
