Feel the Space of the Forest

FEEL THE SPACE OF THE FOREST is an exhibition of works of art and projects that, with different starting points, give the viewer an impression of the special space that the forest represents.
The theme of the exhibition - forest - has relevance for artists from different places on the globe. Their approach is different and to some extent reflects where they come from.
The theme is broad. Like many other exhibitions in these years with a focus on "nature", it gives us the opportunity to think about and appreciate the part of our surroundings that is the forest. Perhaps even expand our knowledge of the forest and its importance to our lives - both the physical and psychological part of human existence.

The 11 represented artists of different nationalities have very different approaches to the phenomenon of forest: as memory, botanical site, climate maintainer, CO2 absorber, as a place for activism, as sacred and a place for contemplation.

Actors in the exhibition are: Abel Rodríguez (1941, Columbia), Margit Lukács (1973, NL) & Persijn Broersen (1974, NL), Cecylia Malik (1975, PL), Marinus Boezem (1934, NL), Helge Hommes (1962, DE) & Saxana Nicole Schötschel (DE), Antti Laitinen (1975, FI), Sanna Kannisto (1974, FI), Malin Arnell (1970) & Åsa Elzén (1972)(both SE).
The exhibition is curated by Dorte Kirkeby Andersen from Art Center Silkeborg Bad and Anne Berk (NL). In 2018, the latter curated the exhibition Beyond the Body at the KunstCentret.
