Word | Image
Words can create images. Images that are not necessarily the same for everyone. Nor do the images we see necessarily conjure up the same words in everyone. No single experience of a work of art is like any other, since we all look at it from different perspectives and with different eyes.
This exhibitions presents six works of art, each in its own separate room. Some are old favourites from our collection. Others are new works 鈥� on display for the very first time. What they all have in common is the fact that an author has articulated their reaction to each of them. Thus, the visual impression interacts with the written and spoken language in an equal encounter between the works of art and the contributions of the authors.
The aim of the exhibition Word | Image is to facilitate an encounter between word and image, expanding our experience of art and its many facets in this cross field. Concentrate on the work in front of you, read the text or listen to a recording of the author reading it.
The exhibition is an opportunity to explore the language of art by delving into the works and texts and making room for your own interpretation, amazement and fascination.
