Facsimile of Schwittershytta
An exact facsimile of Kurt Schwitters only remaining Merz building on the island of Hjertoya, Molde in Norway was started in spring 2009. This facsimile and the partial reconstruction of the hut are being made to focus attention on the importance of this building and the complex task of preserving it. The work was made in conjunction with the Romsdal Museum and is part of an ongoing project organised by Littoral Arts, who are currently raising money to restore and preserve the Cylinders estate in Cumbria where Schwitters made his last Merz installation.
The facsimile of the Schwittershytta was shown at the RCA London from the 1st to the 9th of May 2009, as part of Littoral Arts fundraising plan.
