In their art these young Swedish and Danish artists all refer to and find inspiration in nature and animals. There is a twist in the title, because the word dyr in Danish means animal as well as expensive. The artists are: Vibe Bredahl, Louise Hindsgavl, Lykke Andersen, Lisbeth Bank Nielsen, Marika Seidler, Lisa Strömbeck, Anja Karin Brus, Tanja K. Jensen and Stephanie Donsøe. The exhibition has been especially designed for the venue Skovvilla, which is situated in the middle of the forest. Curators: Stefanie Donsøe and Birgitte Agersnap.

British artists, weaver Susie Freeman and video artist David Critchley, and doctor Liz Lee are the founders behind the project ”Pharmacopoeia” , which is now for the first time being presented in Denmark. In artistic expression they focus on the widespread use of various medicine and pills in our daily life. They are not judges. The design, colour and shape of the many different pills and their packaging are here included in a number of spectacular artworks and installations, which can arouse reflection on a subject which is relevant for most people.
