FABRICA

Special exhibition

The autumn's senses' exhibition FABRICA is the first of a total of three exhibitions under the common title "Sensing! New worlds", created in collaboration between Sorø Kunstmuseum and Holstebro Kunstmuseum. 

FABRICA is based on an intimate, everyday object, namely the textile: as clothing, fabric, symbol, communication and identity. With inspiration from the colourful universe of the circus arena, visual artist Eva Steen Christensen (b. 1969) and Set Designer Nikolaj Danielsen (b. 1966) create a sensuous dystopian landscape of recycled textiles, where a large organic wooden arena with funnel-shaped velvet-upholstered entrances is located. Inside you will find a jumble of soft textile sculptures which can be braided, stacked or woven into open structures.

In the ring, usual rules are cancelled out. Concepts are turned upside down and inside out, through unpredictable play and humor, where the sensuality is enhanced through colours, sound and movements. In an interaction between the installation and the visitors, the exhibition invites everyone to create their own story or take on a new identity. Getting dressed or dressed up. Here, the viewer becomes part of the work's material, and it is the interaction itself; with the space, object and other visitors, that initiates the actual performative narrative in the exhibition.

Come and help shape the narrative in FABRICA.
