Kaååråålines Vers - Group ExhibitionMuseet for Samtidskunst, Roskilde (DK)
Despite her prolific life's work, Karoline Ebbesen (1852-1936) has been an often overlooked figure in Danish art history. This exhibition shows Ebbesen's works side by side with works by Danish and international contemporary artists, including Lise Haller Baggesen, Gudrun Hasle, Georgina Maxim and Matilde Duus, who have been inspired and found kinship in Ebbesen's text and visual world.
The exhibition presents a wide range of Ebbesen's works in various media as an introduction to her practice. Kaååråålines Vers also presents completely new works inspired by Ebbesen. Lise Haller Baggesen shows the textile and sound work Lille Solstråle Sad og Så På Månen, which is a reference to a note by Karoline Ebbesen. Together with composer Anders Lauge Meldgaard and the 40-person choir, BARK, Baggesen sets Ebbesen's words to sound with an "angel choir". The work will be performed live for the opening on September 14, and will be presented as an audio and textile installation throughout the run of the exhibition until December 7th.
