Pelzkragen \\ Fur Collar
The group show is assembled from artists of various disciplines and different generations. During the limited time of the exhibition, the gallery (white cube) space is transformed into an apartment, into a personal place. The display, which focuses on connecting the different artworks, aims to create one holistic experience, pushing the visitor to become not only a spectator, but rather a storyteller – a main character!- himself.
The title Fur Collar derives from a thought of two elements melting into one notion. It symbolizes the presence of a cross junction – of a clash point where two natures meets – a Wild and a Human one. Is it a clash point? Or is the ‘schism’ rather a constant move in a stop motion frame – a moment of ongoing transition – of becoming, transforming, changing, turning…
Is it possible to become one again? To think like a sea? To be one body and one thought at the same time? This show invites the viewer to immerse in a space of imagination, where presence starts to melt in to a novel, a personal tale.
Axel Linderholm made a series of acrylic paintings on paper, titled Sleep-deprived in Alexandra Park.
