With his raw forms, bold brushstrokes and powerful sculptures, Svend Wiig Hansen (1922–1997) placed the human figure at the centre of his work – fragile, solitary and marked by the existential anxiety of the post-war era. For more than 50 years, Wiig Hansen has sought to depict the innermost core of our existence through painting, sculpture, drawing, and film.

Be confronted by the eccentric and provocative body as ARoS puts the spotlight on punk's creative revolution with the exhibition Unruly – The body in punk. Featuring around 130 works, the exhibition traces punk’s origins in 1970's London and shows how the movement spread and changed – with a special focus on Berlin's subcultures. Pain, wildness, imagination. Energy, boldness, defiance. Punks used the body as a form of resistance against discipline and societal norms imposed by a world they saw as already collapsing. In punk, bodily expression was political.
Permanent
As Seen Below is a Skyspace and an artwork in the ARoS collection created by the American artist James Turrell. Owing to its scale, quality, and unique expression, Turrell himself describes it as his most ambitious Skyspace to date.
The work reveals that human vision is not like an objective camera. What we see inside arises through the controlled meeting of light, space, and the senses.
As Seen Below marks Turrell's 100th Skyspace and will open on June 19, 2026.
