Teksten, uddrag af lovbestemmelserne om skudmålsbøger 1864 - 1941

Niels Larsen Stevns' "Teksten, uddrag af lovbestemmelserne om skudmålsbøger" (1864-1941) is a work of conceptual art that uses text as its medium. The artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, presents a cropped page from a legal document, highlighting the official regulations regarding "skudmålsbøger" or shooting target books. The piece invites viewers to consider the role of law and documentation in society and the way language can be used to shape our understanding of the world. This conceptual approach, paired with the historical context of 19th and early 20th century Denmark, adds a layer of significance to the artwork.
