Kathrine Ærtebjerg x Ovartaci

The exhibition consists of Kathrine Ærtebjerg's new surrealist works created from Ovartaci's existing oevre, which are on loan from the newly opened Museum Ovartaci in Aarhus, Denmark. The works create both a poetic and dramatic dialogue which unfolds in a total installation consisting of sound, objects and large canvases created by Ærtebjerg. Ovartaci is represented with, among other works, his puppet installations and paperworks of figures that dissolve the boundary between gender and animal and human. 

The exhibition is an important contribution to this theme in establishing a meeting between two Danish artists in dialogue about the normal and the abnormal. Although Ærtebjerg and Ovartici are from different generations, they have many elements in common in terms of fluid boundaries between gender, body and the normative, which is highlighted in the exhibition.
