COMMISSIONS 

Lea Porsager is part of Fuglsang Art Landscape

Lea Porsager is part of Fuglsang Art Landscape with the work Exhumed Limy Pool (2023) at Fuglsang Kunstmuseum. ⁠ ⁠

Lea Porsager's work was created with the desire to establish a meeting point on the lawn in front of the museum with respect for the site's cultural history and geography. The work is designed as an excavated area, which in terms of scale and location mirrors the historic irrigation pond. The buried limestone basin is bounded by a stone setting that reflects the area's protected stone walls. In the center of the field, three aluminum sculptures form a horseshoe formation that recalls the history of the place, where horses have played an important role.⁠

COMMISSIONS 

FOS commission "A.L.T" at Bethaniagade, Herning, DK

FOS' work "A.L.T." is now up as a permanent installation in Bethaniagade in Herning, DK. 

The over 30 meter work consists of red wide shaped stones, glazed concrete elements, repeated arches and cuts that break the surface as well as a bronze cast gate. The commission was initiated in the early stage in the construction of building, allowing for the work to be integrated into the building process to such a large extent. 

The work is supported by the Statens Kunstfond and has been created in collaboration with Peter Jensen Bronze Foundry and Tommerup Ceramic Workcenter.

"Bad Timing – or How to Write History Without Objects is based on the historical exhibition Women Artists’ Retrospective Exhibition from 1920, where 200 female artists (both living and dead) exhibited almost 700 works at Den Frie. This historical moment becomes an occasion to examine how artists, then as well as today, are active writers of their own and our common art history.⁠

Today, many of the works from the 1920 exhibition are unknown or lost. The same applies to the stories of many of the women who created works for the exhibition. Bad Timing investigates how it can be possible to work with this material and historical absence. How can this absence take shape and become registerable?  For the exhibition this void is materialised through large tableaux of new works by prominent contemporary artists, who work to make absence physical in very different ways."

SOLO SHOWS 

Michael Kvium: The Noise of Silence (Stilhedens larm) at Oluf Høst Museet

Michael Kvium's solo-exhibition The Noise of Silence (Stilhedens larm), is on view at Oluf Høst Museet until October 21st, 2023.

Michael Kvium has for four decades created works that mercilessly depict the folly of man and all corners of life. The narrative paintings unfold on a stage from the moment theater curtain rises to the second the curtain falls, like the course of life from born to death. The works paradoxically evoke feelings of both enthusiasm and disgust and their expression is situated is both abstraction and realism that can be impossible to shake from one’s consciousness.⁠
