Miriam Bäckström is a part of the group exhibition 'Nordic Contemporary by Ars Fennica' at Sven-Harrys Konstmuseum. 

'Miriam Bäckström makes use of a variety of artistic media, including photography, film, performance, theater, installation, and text. The driving force behind Bäckström’s work is her meticulous studies of the symbiotic relationship between image and reality in the human psyche. Bäckström unfailingly aims for technical precision and innovation, regardless of whether she’s working with stills or motion pictures. At the same time, she has opened her work up to collaboration that allows for improvised and theatrical elements'. - Sven-Harrys Konstmuseum 

In occasion of the exhibition, she will give an artist talk 12.10.2019 13:00-13:30 at Sven-Harrys Konstmuseum.

Gardar Eide Einarsson & SUPERFLEX is a part of the group exhibition 'Flag. Objekt ikon symbol' at Randers Kunstmuseum

Gardar Eide Einarsson & SUPERFLEX is a part of the exhibition 'Flag. Objekt ikon symbol' at Randers Kunstmuseum.

'Udstillingen FLAG – objekt, ikon, symbol markerer 800-året for legenden om verdens ældste nationalflag, Dannebrog. Udstillingen sætter fokus på flaget i kunsten fra 1960 frem til i dag. Fra Sven Dalsgaards (DK, 1914-1999) Dannebrogsværker, der skabte skandale i Paris i 1967, til den kinesiske kunstner Ai Weiweis (CN, 1957) seneste politiske flagværker om tidens flygtningestrømme på tværs af nationale grænser. Hertil vises en lang række nye og nyere ”flagværker” af anerkendte danske og internationale kunstnere.

MIKKEL CARL (DK), CLAUS CARSTENSEN (DK), ISMAR CIRKINAGIC (BA/DK), SVEN DALSGAARD (DK), GARDAR EIDE EINARSSON (NO), JEANNETTE EHLERS (DK), WILHELM FREDDIE (DK), THIERRY GEOFFROY/COLONEL (FR/DK), POUL GERNES (DK), JOHN GERRARD (IE), GUDRUN HASLE (DK), HESSELHOLDT & MEJLVANG (DK), PETER HOLST HENCKEL (DK), SUPERFLEX (DK), LARS VON TRIER (DK), AI WEIWEI (CN).

Hvad betyder flaget for vores nationale identitet i dag? Og hvordan anvendes flaget som markør på tværs af nationale landegrænser? Udstillingen undersøger flaget som omstridt symbol og konkret element i kunsten og præsenterer moderne visuelle fortolkninger og fortællinger om det historiske og kulturelle symbol, der indgår i den offentlige fortælling om os selv og vores nationalitet. Her udfordres flagets traditionelle, territoriale, miljø-, race- eller kønsmæssige afgrænsninger.

Udstillingen kan opleves både på kunstmuseet og i byens rum, hvor 12 flag af Hesselholdt & Mejlvang (DK, 1974, 1976) vajer i vinden på Jens Otto Krags Plads.

Til udstillingen udgives på Randers Kunstmuseums Forlag (Uddannelses- og Forskningsministeriets autoritetsliste for serier og forlag) en forskningsbaseret publikation med bidrag af bl.a. Jørn Erslev Andersen, Lektor Aarhus Universitet. Lørdag 21. september kl. 11, inviterer museet til boglancering og foredrag ved Jørn Erslev Andersen.' - Randers Kunstmuseum 

The exhibition is running from 10.08.2019 - 12.01.2020

SOLO SHOWS 

Dario Escobar solo exhibition at Art Nexus Bogota

Art Nexus Bogota will be opening the solo exhibition 'Darío Escobar: Tras la huella de la serpiente roja' with Dario Escobar. The exhibition will be opening on Saturday, September 21, 2019.⁠

Darío Escobar’s work often makes use of the concept of the readymade, but the objects Escobar choose are always altered in some way or another. Through the alterations as well as the placement in an artistic context, the objects gain new meanings. General themes in Escobar’s work are the complex relations between globalization, aesthetics, colonialism, modernism and consumerism.⁠
