TIME * SOIL * STARS

We belong to the world. The world does not belong to us. That is the starting point for the exhibition TIME*SOIL*STARS, which revolves around the impact of humans on the planet. All the many things that are shaking the ground beneath our feet right now – the global climate crisis and the future we are facing. The climate crisis is examined through a series of installations that address everything from local contemporary archaeological finds, earth creatures, flower metaphors, life's transition to eternal sleep and invasions from distant galaxies.

The artists behind it want to contribute with a new perception of the world based on equality between and respect for all living things on the planet. The relationship between humans and the planet is the common denominator in the exhibition. The works themselves range widely from paintings and sculptures to installations and video, from dystopian sci-fi to botany and contemporary archaeology.

You enter the exhibition by quite literally stepping on delicate drawings of endangered insects. Later, you will meet earth creatures from the underground and experience how the past affects the near future through objects found at Amager Fælled. You can take a look at the colonial history of botany and study the metaphors of flowers. From the close, the exhibition moves into wild stories about, among other things, invasion from distant galaxies and future memories from a café in outer space.

The exhibition takes you on a journey through both biological and historical time. It has previously been shown in another version (2025) in Rundetårn. A catalogue will be published for the presentation in Silkeborg. The participating artists are: Jeanette Land Schou, Nina Maria Kleivan, Karen Gabel Madsen, Bodil Brems, Henriette C. Hansen, Vicky Steptoe, Pernelle Maegaard and Nanna Gro Henningsen.
