Funen Art Academy presents LEVERUM – a solo exhibition by artist Milena Bonifacini
Exhibition opening, Skulptursalen, Thursday, 14 November, 4-6 pm
Artist talk by Milena Bonifacini, Wednesday, 8 January, 4-5:30 pm
Milena Bonifacini’s exhibition Leverum, presented in the Academy’s Skulptursal, seeks to create a unified, immersive installation featuring both new and older works, displayed alongside selected everyday objects which evoke a sense of home. Yet in Bonifacini’s installation, the familiar and comforting always coexist with the uneasy and uncertain.
Milena Bonifacini (b. 1963) engages in an investigative artistic practice and has wide array of exhibitions and commissions to her name. Originally trained as a painter, she has cultivated a long-standing interest exploring the painterly with the field of sculpture, emphasising its formal and sensory qualities in her objects. Milena Bonifacini lives on Funen and graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1989, later earning a cand.phil. from the School of Theory and Communication in 1991. Her honours include the prestigious Anne Marie Telmányi née Carl Nielsen Grant, awarded in 2016.
The exhibition is generously supported by the Danish Arts Foundation and runs until 30 January, 2025.
