WORKS IN THE EXHIBITION

Iris Bernblum’s contribution to the TERRAIN BIENNIAL DK will be strung gold text spanning the length of the roof in honor of the golden anniversary “TAKE ME WITH YOU."

​

Yvette Brackman’s red-hot CAMP (1999) is an invitation to inmate encounters between lovers and beautiful strangers, considering the seat as social positioning. The work is in the collection of Krabbesholm Højskole who has generously lent id to the exhibition.

​

For GOLD Jessica Caponigro will screen-print a golden wallpaper, to cover the entire interior of the old playhouse, present at on the exhibition site. Partly sheltered from the elements, the semi-permanent work will deteriorate over time, while intensifying in beauty. Caponigro says about her work: “I'm interested in how paper degrades through weathering and the democracy of printmaking though the non preciousness of the multiple. The idea of wallpaper is especially interesting to me when it exists in domestic or non traditional art spaces.”

​

For the golden anniversary and opening reception Kirsten Leenaars has created the ten-minute performance piece “the Golden Boy” Exploring the psychology and desires of a golden boy. The script was developd with, and will be performed by, Adam Ross
