VANDSKEL - WATERSHED

The greatest exhibition of the year deals with water. The Arnakke spring has been running for centuries from its source in the centre of the Art Centre's park, and Silkeborg is an area of freshwater lakes. This project has come about with AQUA Freshwater Aquarium in Silkeborg which is, among other things, coordinating an activity calendar with various isolated events throughout the period. At the actual exhibition at The Art Centre Silkeborg Spa, more than 20 Danish and European artists as well as people from other fields of knowledge are instrumental to creating a unity in which work of art, culture-historical elements and physical components exist side by side. The common topic is WATER in its many forms and WATER as a vital necessity for us all. The exhibition and event calendar appeal to all age groups.
