Biography on vebjorn sandesh

Vebjørn Sand is best known for his public art projects such as the phenomenal success of a 1997 winter outdoor exhibit of paintings from two expeditions to Antarctica. The installation, called “Trollslottet,” attracted 150,000 visitors, becoming the largest audience for an art exhibition by a contemporary artist in Norwegian history.

His second public project, The Kepler Star, has become a symbol of Oslo’s Gardermoen Airport after inaugurating the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize. His third project, the Leonardo Bridge Project, is the first civil engineering project based on a Leonardo da Vinci design to ever be constructed.

The graceful footbridge just outside Oslo has been called “a bridge to everywhere...” by the Wall Street Journal and “...one of the five most beautiful bridges in the world” by Wired Magazine. Sand envisions building distinctive bridges in communities around the world based on Leonardo da Vinci’s elegant geometry, like variations on a brilliant passage of music.
