Rune Bering: Bycatch
Taking the fishing industry as his point of departure – as a story about both catching and being caught – Rune Bering weaves fishing nets in copper cables that originate from the infrastructures of technology. He works sculpturally with how technology is closely connected with geology and nature. There is a pervasive and underlying ouroboros approach to his exhibition that examines the cycle of destruction, death and rebirth.
Rune Bering elaborates on the upcoming exhibition:
”In this exhibition, I work sculpturally with emotions which I believe are characteristic of our time. We know that we live in a way that can’t last, but at the same time the feeling is that we can’t change it. We live in structures that interfere with each other and that are too complex to really understand, change and get out of. It feels like we are caught in our own net”.
Rune Bering’s exhibition Bycatch can be experienced from 10 February to 28 July. The opening is on Friday 9 February at 16-20 PM.
Where: Upper Gallery
When: 10 February - 28 July 2024
The exhibition has been created with support from the City of Copenhagen, the Danish Arts Foundation, Beckett-Fonden, Grosserer L. F. Foghts Fond, Gottfred & Gerda Eickhoffs Fond and the Council for Visual Arts.
