Carsten Höller: Stockholm Slides

The Outdoor Collection

4.10 2025 – 31.12 2030

Stockholm

Opens in 4 days

A large-scale artwork by internationally renowned artist Carsten Höller has been installed on the façade of Moderna Museet. Stockholm Slides features two parallel, spiral slides running from the museum’s roof down to Slupskjulsvägen. Go up, slide down, and experience art in a whole new way!

Carsten Höller was born 1961 in Belgium to German parents. He has lived in Sweden for the past 25 years, and more recently also in Ghana and in Italy. He is known for creating participatory artworks that blur the boundary between scientific experiment and sensory play. He describes his works as “influential environments” – installations that evoke specific states of mind such as exhilaration, disorientation, doubt, joy and fear.

Various types of slides have been part of Carsten Höller’s artistic production since 1998 and have been erected permanently or temporarily in a large number of locations around Europe and the USA. Both tracks of “Stockholm Slide” are approximately 39 metres long and identical, but mirrored. One turns clockwise and the other counterclockwise. The drop height is 15 metres.
