Posted @withregram • @ardenasbaekgallery SEE YOU AT THE OPENING, MARCH 31 AT 4-7PM

The duo exhibition Closer to the Sun is a bittersweet tribute to a lazy summer’s day. Warm skin, cold glasses of wine and prickly cactuses are everywhere to be found at Arden Asbæk Gallery, which has been transformed into what feels like a taverna. The duo exhibition, which presents the work of Polish painter Ania Pieranska and Norwegian visual artist Nina Ekman, encapsules summer heat, while also questioning the ambivalence of the rising temperatures and the state of the world through the artists’ careful and conscious approach to our resources. Warmth, often associated with comfort and indulgence, has in the recent decade grown to symbolize the demise of planetary stability.

We look forward to seeing you 🍾

Thank you @formatartspace for your words and for walking in Fading 🙏❤️🙏🥰
Posted @withregram • @formatartspace @ninakekman har skabt en fuldstændig spektakulær og gennemgribende total installation på @kunstpakhuset 🌴 Fading, som udstillingen hedder, er ikke kun smuk og imponerende, den er også tankevækkende og foruroligende. Udstillingen kropsliggør menneskets trang til at kontrollere, duplikere og bruge naturen og planter i et omfang, så de mister deres naturlige væsen og udseende. Til sidst står vi tilbage med farveløse kopier ordnet på rad og række, mens vi selv forestiller os at vi er jordens altoverskyggende centrum. Installationen er både en fejring og en påmindelse om naturens paradisiske muligheder - måske kan vi stadig nå at bevare dens storhed…

Join me for a virtual walk through FADING🌴🐇🌴
On show @kunstpakhuset until the 26th of February

FADING consist of a 16 meter long runner and 52 tufted, knitted and crocheted palm leaf sculptures. The work becomes increasingly more white, faded and transparent and in the end, all that remains, are white threads. The installation is an invitation to reflect on our anthropocentric world view, where plants and animals' raison d'être is to serve us, homo sapiens. We control, modify, duplicate and use them to an extent that they lose their natural being. Like colorless copies, we arrange them in straight rows as we take center stage in the changing and fading biosphere. It's as if we're celebrating our dominance and total control over the biosphere, but in the process we've lost our connection to nature - a connection in which we should celebrate the beauty, the colors, the diversity and the fact that we all have the same origin in the stardust of the universe . ..

Thank you @artistsofcasp
So grateful for this residency🙏❤️ 🥳🥳
Posted @withregram • @artistsofcasp We are SO excited to feature our new juried-in CASP artists!

Studio F4: For artist @ninakekman nature and human relations are recurring sources of inspiration and subject matters in her work. The connection to nature is deeply rooted in Nina from growing up with the wilderness of northern Norway as her childhood backdrop. Her work floats between paint and textiles, sculptures and etchings, and more specifically the technique of tufting (a method of weaving carpets) as a way to build textile sculptures. Nina has studied art at Parsons School of Art and Design in Paris, product design at The Design Academy in the Netherlands, and has a bachelor in psychology from the University of Geneva, Switzerland. @ninakekman has exhibited in galleries and museums across Europe, and is currently represented by @formatartspace in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Congrats on your four-year term with CASP and the @cityofpaloalto Nina, we are so excited to have you!

CASP Jurors for the 2022 CASP selection process were:
@munkstur
@kevin_b_chen
@cristinaartista
