Tina Maria Nielsen: Salon des Refus茅s
Horsens Art Museum presents Tina Maria Nielsen鈥檚 large installation Salon des Refuses from 2016 during the month of May 2024. The presentation is part of the museum鈥檚 anniversary celebration throughout the year.
The title 鈥楽alon des Refus茅s鈥� (2016) is thematically based on thoughts about the rejected and also refers to the art exhibition in Paris (1863), where the censored art that was rejected by the salon鈥檚 jury was exhibited. Thereby, this exhibition became a form of counterculture against the established art scene of the time. The title is also linked to the rejected in a broader sense, both as a psychological mechanism; what the individual rejects purely mentally, which therefore lies latent and simmers beneath the surface. But also the physical space such as the basement, where you place the objects that do not have room for or fit in 鈥� the basement is purely symbolically connected to what we perceive as a more dark and gloomy hiding place.
