A few more days @kp_kunstnernespaaskeudstilling

Posted @withregram • @kp_kunstnernespaaskeudstilling VI PRÆSENTERER KP22 KUNSTNER NINA K EKMAN

Nina K Ekman er en af de kunstnere, som er udvalgt til at udstille på den censurerede udstilling Kunstnernes Påskeudstilling KP22 i Kunsthal Aarhus.

Hun siger om sine værker:

"Nature and questions of human relations are recurring sources of inspiration and subject matters in my work. My relationship to nature is both an intimate connection and yearning as well as a point of interest which has unfolded the topic of nature’s role to man and vice versa.

FOREST BATHING, means walking meditatively in the forest, a concept, originally from
Japan but now practiced around the world. In this piece, I have portrayed my memories of
being bathed in my childhood forest in north of Norway and the question I’ve been playing
with: Do we have to go to museums to be able to forest bathe in a not-so-distant future?
Forest Bathing is part of a larger body of work consisting of 2D and 3D tufted birch
sculptures. Forest Bathing is tufted with deadstock yarn from the textile industry at the
Danish National Workshop of Arts, 2020.

PLEAZE TOUCH ME # 5
In recent years I have been drawn to the technique of tufting as a way of building textile sculptures and larger installations. Tufting is originally a method for making carpets, but it has become a playful opportunity for me to create sculptural pieces. This tufted sculpture cactus is part of a larger body of work, investigating the duality between the pointy unapproachable and the longing for softness. Like a cactus – alluringly beautiful, strong and a survivor and at the same time painful and distressing."

Kunstnernes Påskeudstilling vises i Kunsthal Aarhus fra 9. april - 8. maj.

Thank you ❤️ @kunstnovicen for your visit and this warm recommendation that i am happy to share on my birthday 😅🙏❤️⤵️

I Officinet i Bredgade i København kan man for tiden opleve udstillingen ”Fragmented Totems”. Den er skabt af den norske tekstilkunstner Nina K. Ekman, som bor og arbejder i Danmark.

Udstillingen tager livtag med totemmet som objekt og vores oplevelser af tilhørsforhold i en verden, der er under evig forandring. Vores tilhørsforhold til naturen, til vores historie og til vores relationer. I vor tid er vi gennem livet en del af adskillige ”stammer” som løbende ændres eller skiftes ud. Selv naturen er under evig forandring, hvadend denne forandring er menneskeskabt eller ej.

I udstillingen træder man ind i en blød og sanselig verden. Med kaktusser og birketræsstammer. Med palmer og vægtæpper med dyreportrætter. Midt i det hele står en flere meter høj totempæl. Totempælen er bygget op af moduler forestillende dyr. Modulerne kan rykkes rundt og skiftes ud. Igennem udstillingsperioden vil Ekman selv være til stede og transformere totempælen efter dagens humør og stemning.

På vandringen rundt i udstillingen mødes man af den repetetive lyd af trommeslag. Lyden leder tankerne hen på et hjerteslag – en konstant vi har med os i vores fragmenterede liv.

Udstillingen er utrolig gennemtænkt. Fyldt med smukke symbolikker og væsentlige, samfundsrelevante refleksioner.

Jeg er særlig begejstret for udstillingens interaktive aspekter. At man løbende kan følge totempælens udvikling og at kunstneren prioriterer at være der og formidle sine budskaber.

Når Ekman er til stede, kan man desuden sætte sig på en af de bløde sten og få lagt totemkort. Her trækker man et kort, der repræsenterer et dyr eller en plante, hvortil en særlig symbolik og mening er knyttet. Denne mening kan man så tage med sig videre i sin dag.

“Fragmented totems” får mine varmeste anbefalinger og kan opleves frem til d. 23/4 2022.
