Ruinflatable
With Kristoffer Akselbo. House of Art and Design,
Holstebro, 2016.
In an empty white exhibition space in the House of
Art and Design in Holstebro you could find an inflatable structure
resembling the character of an ancient ruin. The inflatable ruin was
the exhibition's specific and thematic focal point. The ruin played
a part as both a sculptural object and a fragment. It was situated
as a backdrop for a special script, written specific for the
exhibition a script that was supposed to be rewritten during the
exhibition period. The manuscript was created during an ingenious
series of processes involving many different voices and not least a
question of how text can be transformed over time. The project
examined the processes of how things occur in a continuous game of
creation and destruction and the link between the historical ,the
permanent and the temporary and transitory. During the exhibition
period, the inflatable ruin slowly deflated and thus became a ruin
of a ruin.
The project was supported by The Danish Art Council.
