Art is entirely personal and interpreted in a different way by each viewer. I've half joked that my favorite kind, is the art that doesn't have a real purpose. The kind of paintings, photographs and sculptures that let you get lost in them without much direction. Tom Fruin's latest art installation, Kolonihavehus sits center stage in the plaza of the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen and is made of thousands of pieces of plexi-glass, reclaimed from factories, scrap yards and museum basements. The piece looks to bring beauty from all things broken.

The sculpture was brought to life by daily performances by Copenhagen-based CoreAct headed by Anika Barkan and Helene Kvint. The art in motion included poetry, Computer-controlled light sequences and a sound installation.
