“Både Jeannette Ehlers og Thomas Kilpper opfatter deres kunst som et aktivt bidrag til forhandlingerne i de aktuelle konflikter i verden. PerspektivRegion, et projekt, som reflekterer over den fremtidige udformning af livet i den dansk-tyske grænseregion, kan ikke ignorere disse konflikter. Tværtimod. En fredelig fremtid er ikke længere tænkelig hvis ikke vi giver afkald på privilegier og sammen beslutter at blive et ansvarligt verdenssamfund.”

“Where the Waters Run Together er en atelierudstilling med billedkunstnerne Ian Jehle og Marie Birkedal, der viser en serie parrede malerier en udløber fra duoudstillingen Never Let Me Go i mere intime rammer. Det er en udstilling om maleri og om de to kunstneres praksis.”

“Udstillingens titel, Never Let Me Go, kommer fra Kazuo Ishiguros roman, der foregår i en alternativ verden. Hovedpersonerne er tre venner, der er født alene med det formål at være organdonorer og derfor ved fra en tidlig alder, at de ikke vil leve til over 35. På trods af sin sci-fi, dystopiske præmis, diskuterer den ikke videnskab eller politik, den er en beretning om tre venners liv, fra barndommen og indtil hvad i denne verden beskriver som deres "afslutning" hvad vi ved faktisk betyder døden.”

“You realize you see others live your dreams instead of reaching them yourself.
You're always wishing you had what they have.
You always encourage people to take chances you won’t.
You have intricate fantasies about being someone else.”

“Cologne's only artist residence, CAT Cologne, celebrates its tenth anniversary with a group exhibition in an unusual location. In September, 15 artists will show process-oriented works in an archway near Cologne Central Station. In response to the recent general socio-global insecurity and in search of a new consensus, these negotiate possible solutions.”

“Accommodating the Present inhales the present, considers it, and contemplates adaption as a basic condition in relation to coexistence between people, animals, places, and nature.“

“I had grown increasingly afraid of political discussions in which us-and-them rethorics short circuited any sort of progression in arguments. As a solution, I figured that the price I had to pay would be to position myself and my studio within the body of what I was critical towards, the military.”

“Gerry Bibby, Megan Francis Sullivan, Martin Ebner, Edgars Gluhovs, Daniel Herleth and Bärbel Trautwein of Oracle, Karl Holmqvist, Lisa Holzer, Ilya Lipkin, Inka Meißner, Ariane Müller, Kaspar Müller, Philip Pilekjær, Marina Pinsky, Josephine Pryde, Starship Magazine and Seyoung Yoon.”

“Projektrummet GLUE blev medgrundlagt af kunstneren DAG i 2004 og har de sidste 15 år præsenteret forskellige udstillinger i Berlin med kunsterne, der lever og arbejder i Berlin. GLUE er et flydende koncept og udstillingerne bliver afholdt forskellige steder i Berlin.”

“Visual strategies are investigating physical- and mental states of fatigue, exhaustion, overtime, overwork and breakdowns, which are manifested in signs of fragility, transparency, hollowness, broken glass and allusions to anthropomorphic shapes.”

“In The Dig Dan Stockholm adopts the role of a creative archaeologist, utilizing methods of excavation, preservation and display in the creation of several new works. The Dig speculates on how we tend to view history as a straight line that leads from the past directly to us. In archaeology we dig to uncover ourselves, but is it us that we find, or were we someone else?”

“Danish artist Ruth Campau was born on the Isle of Mors in 1955. Today she lives and works in Copenhagen. The artist examines the fields of painting. By combining paintings on transparent or reflecting surfaces to site specific room installations, Ruth Campau creates highly immersive works of art. Colour, surface and light merge into vibrating and fascinating compositions.”

“Hard core, soft bodies is a collection of videos that reimagine the human form. The 3D hybrid beings, constructed of biological organs and technological prosthetics, stand in a literal ‘grey area’ making familiar sounds and subtle movements. There is an undeniable bizarreness to imagining the inner-workings of our biological bodies, but when cleaned up and stripped of the ‘mess’ a digestive tract earns the same elegance as a single unoccupied contact lens.”

“Intimacy can be found in the warmth of the home and in a meeting between people. It has to do with closeness and familiarity. In today’s hectic disconnected world, one might fear that intimacy is precisely what we are lacking. Confidentiality and communication have been replaced with us staring at our phones, swiping our way through love and replacing vulnerability with “u ok hun?”.“

“Fascinated by places and architecture with an innate historical significance and narrative tension, Dan Stockholm practices a “creative archaeology”, which includes field research and work with various findings. His recent work evolves from what he calls “performative process,” a method that turns the finished piece into a vessel which carries the story of its own making.”

“The joint exhibition Perspicuus by Jakob Emdal and Jonas Kasper Jensen presents new works specially developed for the exhibition that is the outcome of a close collaboration between the two Danish artists. By means of photography, installation, sound and painting, the exhibition focuses in particular on the constantly evolving development of different forms of the image in the context of technological progress and historical changes.”

"The new works by the Copenhagen-born artist Marie Irmgard (*1976) encompass genres of painting in a coordinate system, which broadly draws on one's self-perception and the perception of nature by mankind between historical reference points such as Diego Velasquez and Cy Twombly. Galerie1214 is displaying a concentrated selection of works for the first time in a solo exhibition in Berlin."

"The exhibition Think of me as a Carol is a continuation of Peter Voss-Knude’s longstanding musical engagement with the Danish defence, and the outcome of his residency at the Grimmuseum."

"In Aestu Solis is the third part of a trilogy of works by Jens Settergren that utilise the tropics as an instance of a (Western) collective imaginary: The tropical cast as a heterotopia comprising both pure idyll, recreational tranquility and certain more uncanny elements."

"During his two-month residency, Javier Tapia (*1976, Chile) developed a walkable, mazelike installation at CAT Cologne. Transparable boards are backdrops for collages of images and photographs. These partitions give multiple views to potential relations between the imagery, allowing space for personal associations."
 

"Every ten years since 1977, the Skulptur Projekte have been offering a special exhibition experience: Artists develop site-specific works for Münster – sculptures, but also video installations or performances."

"Today, June 10, 2017, the documenta 14 exhibition opens in Kassel. Over 160 international artists present works conceived for documenta 14 at more than thirty different sites, public institutions, squares, cinemas, and university locations."
