Possibility of change

With this exhibition, lyricist and author Astrid Gjesing (born 1952) attempts to provide a visual expression to parts of their poetry. The specifics of the exhibition are a series of spatial installations, created specifically for the physical surroundings in the Art Centre Forest Villa. The exhibition will be cross-aesthetical and artistically experimentational in its form.

Now in colour

A sensory exhibition, specifically prepared for children by artist Steffan Herrik. A room division with three large rooms: the square red, the blue triangular, and the yellow circular, and small workshops – children are invited to use all their senses to experience what it means to collect and store things. The exhibition has been created in a cooperation with the Brandts Klædefabrik art hall. The exhibition is well suited for a group excursion with children. Groups will have to announce their arrival in advance. For this exhibition, there will be extra opening hours mornings for pre-booked group visits.

Reality concept with Jørgen Boberg

Jørgen Boberg (born 1940, residing in Italy) is known for painting his way into amazing universes of a personally mythological character. These dream images of idealised realities and his sometimes hyper-realistic form language point to interesting interpretations of the concept of reality. The pronounced form language is also dominant in the impressive series of portraits depicting well-known Danes as well as members of the more private circle around the artist. The exhibition has a retrospective structure and presents highways and byways through more than 45 years of Boberg art. The exhibition will later be on display at Gl. Holtegaard.
