Everything is wrong

Curated by Jean-Hubert Martin.

The exhibition “Everything is Wrong” presents artworks AND daily objects, focusing particularly on private and public collections from the area around Herning. The exhibition rests on the formal comparisons we all make when a given object reminds us of another. Here, visitors get the opportunity to take part in building narratives that connect the individual works and objects, thereby charting the cultural history of Herning.

Henrik Plenge Jakobsen, Eva Sørensen, Ben Vautier, Sven Dalsgaard, Knud Hvidberg, Enrico Castellani, Piero Manzoni, Dan Sterup-Hansen, Henning Andersen, Ole Folmer Hansen, Agostino Bonalumi, Albert Mertz, Sámal Joensen-Mikines, Frodo Mikkelsen, Mogens Lohmann, Folke Lind, Richard Mortensen, Jannis Kounellis, Erik Dietman, Svend Wiig Hansen, Paul Gadegaard, Willy Ørskov, Robert Jacobsen, Asger Jorn, Joseph Beuys, Man Ray, Sonja Ferlov Mancoba, Tomio Miki, Ole Bagger. 

 

Microcosm

Korean artist Sui Park will create organic sculptures made of plastic, thereby forming a poetic landscape that investigates nature’s relationship with humankind. Sui Park’s works involves creating 3-dimensional organic forms in generic and biomorphic shapes. Through these forms, she attempt to express seemingly static yet dynamic characteristics of our evolving lives.

 

Linee. A tribute to Piero Manzoni

The Spanish Basurama collective is dedicated to researching the phenomena and processes found in consumer society’s massive production of waste (both physical and virtual) and to prompt and generate new ideas and attitudes on the subject. In collaborating with a local companies Basurama will create an installation out of waste/residual products.
