“Udstillingen METAMORPHOSER er en samling af kunstneriske ytringer i en samtid, hvor alt er til forhandling, kan forvandles og morfes, hvor det biologiske og det digitale fusioneres, hvor køn og identitet transformeres og hvor vi forsøger at finde en samhørighed med naturen.”

“We are happy to invite you to Antarctica from Space, a performance series and concert by artist Emily Jones, developed for and with Primer.”

“Corona-pandemien har skabt en længsel på et indre som et ydre plan! Det er vigtigt at denne tilstand får rum og et udtryk og derfor har 23 toneangivende kunstnere (heraf 3 kunstnerduoer) skabt 20 værker, der vises over hele landet, udenfor de vante kunstinstitutionelle rammer.”

“Udstillingen består af 8 papirværker, der har en tilsyneladende skrøbelighed men samtidig en meget håndgribelige tilstedeværelse, de er sarte, stoflige stykker lavet ud af præpareret papir og derefter lagt i farve-bade og skyllet af og bemalet igen. Kontrasten mellem værkernes skrøbelige natur og deres rå, næsten brutale energi skaber en fascinerende spænding.”

“Collage kommer fra det franske ord “coller”, som betyder at lime og kan defineres som et billede, der er dannet af fragmenter af forskelligt materiale. Igennem en serie af store collager skabt af bemalede papirudklip, sætter udstillingen The Flower Factory af Johanne Lykke i Cobra-rummet ved Sophienholm fokus på det fragmenterede blomstermotiv.”

“The project investigates the production of imaginaries and scenarios of the future. With climate change rendering the future increasingly volatile, the project posits futurity as a crucial site of artistic engagement, one undertaken in constant dialogue with other fields. Set in the context of the water technology company Aquaporin, the project explores the parallel temporalities produced by artists, filmmakers, authors, scientists, corporations and non-governmental organizations.”

“Strata departs from an interest in the act of seeing as a process of construction, understood as an act that is always already imbued with desire. When seeing becomes manifest as technologies, technologies in turn generate new ways of seeing. Through a quasi-fictional photographic documentation of the factory, the exhibition seeks to warp the image of the site and the question of artistic agency within it. The tactics deployed are those of the kaleidoscopic, of delirium, rummaging, exhaustion and sleep.”

“Take for example cherries, when ripe and sweet, the skin will act like a membrane between the sugary water inside and the drops outside, from rain lets say. Osmosis will suck the water into the berry. Sometimes they explode.”

“Det centrale værk i installationen er filmen "Kunst i Saxo Bank: Et uformelt møde", der giver et indblik i, hvordan billedkunst anvendes i en moderne virksomhed. Saxo Bank huser en af landets største private samlinger med over 600 værker af primært danske samtidskunstnere. Ved at indrette arbejdspladsen med dristige værker søger man at inspirere og motivere medarbejderne til at tænke nye, modige tanker.”

"Life Without presents a new body of work by Michala Paludan. Using the many layers of industrial history inscribed in the building of Aquaporin as a point of departure, Paludan has created a potential scenography exploring notions of work past, present and future."

"The exhibition speculates on printed matter’s ability to shift the focus from origin to historical effect. Situated in the context of Aquaporin’s membrane coating technology – which immobilizes proteins onto a polymeric multilayer structure – Synthetics explores the interdependence of technology, semiotics and the human nervous system."

"In navigation, dead reckoning is the process of calculating one's position by estimating the direction and distance travelled from one’s known starting point, without reference to external observations. The further you get from your point of departure the more uncertain the measurements become."

"Primer’s first project, Self Passage, takes its title from the work of Rasmus Røhling, who we invited to develop a new body of work. In addition, we have curated a selection of works by artists Rachal Bradley, Vilhelm Hammershøi and Man Ray, science fiction author Peter Watts, and material by the global healthcare company Novo Nordisk and America’s space agency NASA."
