Aquaria – Or the Illusion of a Boxed Sea
A selection of Pink Elements is being exhibited at MAAT in Lisbon as part of the exhibition Aquaria – Or the Illusion of a Boxed Sea. Pink Elements consists of varying configurations of pink, coral-friendly bricks that stand as future-ruins turned fish metropolis. The bricks are materially aligned with the needs of underwater creatures, their pink color scientifically known to propagate coral polyp growth.
Aquaria examines how the ocean has washed up inside our cities, homes, and cultural institutions, and questions how we have interiorised the notion of an ocean kingdom.
Pink Elements are based onthe Deep Sea Minding research, supported by TBA21–Academy.
Works exhibited: Pink Element no. 1/Revolving Corner, Pink Element no. 4/Penthouse, Pink Element no. 7/Corner District and Vertical Migration
Location: Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT), Lisbon
Closing date: 6 September 2021

Sharity - teilen, tauschen, verzichten
Alle Daten Dem Volke is showing at the Kunst(Zeug)Haus in Rapperswil-Jona as part of the exhibition Sharity – teilen, tauschen, verzichten. The work points to the asymmetry in the current access to data and to the right of all people to information and distribution of power, on which democracy depends.
The exhibition deals with sharing, an archetypal form of our existence that has advanced to become a lifestyle. It questions the reasons why and what we share and how our society is changing as a result of this.
Work exhibited: Alle Daten Dem Volke
Location: Kunst(Zeug)Haus, Rapperswil-Jona
Closing date: 16 May 2021

Every End Is A New Beginning / Gravmonumenter
For the exhibition Gravmonumenter at Kunsthal Aarhus, we made a proposal for an interspecies burial monument that challenges standardized perceptions of post-living arrangements. The organically shaped monument defines the systematic grid in cemeteries by moving across several graves. By taking a shape that is neither end nor beginning, it becomes a continuously growing sculptural infrastructure that manifests our interspecies relations.
Gravmonumenter is a catalog of inspiration for how we, as citizens and society, can incorporate contemporary art on several levels - even when death occurs.
Location: Aarhus Kunsthal, Aarhus
Closing date: 9 May 2021

One Two Three Swing! / Real DMZ Project
One Two Three Swing! at Dora Observatory in South Korea went online with the Virtual Real DMZ Project exhibition. One Two Three Swing! is an installation of three interconnected swings affixed to an orange steel line, extending beyond the gallery walls and stretching into the landscape, and potentially beyond into the wider world.
The virtual exhibition shows three-dimensional renderings of works by internationally acclaimed artists in the setting of a virtual demilitarised zone that is replete with numerous dreams yet to be achieved.
