Compound Community / 3rd year exhibition 2013
Funen Art Academy’s 3rd year exhibition 2013
Opening May 29th at 17.00, Brandts Passage 2. Free entrance and the exhibition is open to everyone!
COMPOUND COMMUNITY is a declaration of love and a mock-up of the way we create relations. The question is how we create communities and connections in the world today – and why we make these connections when we apparently have nothing in common?
The group show consists of artworks by 15 young Danish and international artists who this year conclude their three-year undergraduate at Funen Art Academy. The artworks are realised in a wide variety of media such as drawing, photography, installations, live performances and much more. As a part of the exhibition there will be a theatre performance at Theatre Momentum on the 29th and 30th of May, a screening at the local cinema Cafébiografen on the 30th of May, and a fishing workshop in connection with the Odense Havnekulturfestivalen on the 31st of May.
“This exhibition will be a type of closure, but at the same time it acts as the beginning of something new and unknown, which each of us have spent the last year working towards”, says participating artist Martha Hviid.
COMPOUND COMMUNITY is an exhibition that draws attention to itself as staged. During the exhibition period the artists, curators and audience will be able to tamper with and effect the artworksʼ mutual relations – things donʼt have to stand at one position. In COMPOUND COMMUNITY the underlying relations and connections between the artworks will create new meanings and contexts in the exhibition space.
One might recognise some of these relations from oneʼs own life and community, but who really calls the shots? Who decides which stories your life should tell?
