黑料不打烊

Floating droplets of water, light enough to circle around in the air without dropping as rain or snow. This is the prosaic, yet poetic definition of the meteorological phenomenon we call fog. It is hardly coincidental that there exist 37 different words in the Faroese language for fog 鈥�  or that fog predominates when foreigners write about Faroese art.

Given that Conversations About Fog is far more about art in the Faroe Islands than about fog itself, we are zooming in through the ethereal haze and focusing on contemporary Faroese art, featuring a palpable and generous selection of works by: Rannva Kunoy, Hanni Bjartal铆冒, Hansina Iversen, J贸han Martin Christiansen, Randi Samsonsen, Dennis Agerblad, Svend-Allan 厂酶谤别苍蝉别苍, Alda Mohr Ey冒unard贸ttir, Julie Sass and Steinprent, The Faroe Islands Graphic Workshop (Claus Carstensen, Ian McKeever, Mie M酶rkeberg, Knud Odde, Bjarne Werner 厂酶谤别苍蝉别苍, Torbj酶rn Olsen, Marius Olsen, Silja Str酶m, Fr铆冒a Matras Brekku, Bj酶rn N酶rgaard, John K酶rner, Anna Sepp盲l盲, Zacharias Heinesen, Zven Balslev, B谩r冒ur J谩kupsson, Tr贸ndur Patursson, 脴ssur Johannesen, Carl J贸han Jensen, Peter Laugesen, T贸roddur Poulsen, Peter Carlsen, Anker Mortensen, Jonas Hvid S酶ndergaard, Erik Heide, Kathrine 脝rtebjerg, Kirstine Roepstorff and Margrethe Odgaard).

Conversations About Fog spotlights dynamic, communicative processes rather than attempting to form a representative canonical view. Thereby, the exhibition circumvents several hierarchies, including the actual tradition of exhibitions of Faroese visual art in Denmark. It is an attempt to present Faroese visual art from within, without in any way attempting to give the impression that it is comprehensive. Instead, the exhibition features a diversity of expression in paintings, graphics, textiles and installations - a devil-may-care expressive joy, life and beauty that is flourishing in spite of raging pandemics, melting icebergs and other doom and gloom.
