6 CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS FROM KOREA.

Author: Hansen, Mikael and Iben From, eds
Year: 2005
Country or State of Origin: Denmark

The show intends partly to take part in globalisation and partly to limit the focus to visual arts and the plethora it represents. The exhibition accomplishes this by presenting six selected artists, all Korean residents, and thus in a Danish perspective providing the Danish audience with an opportunity of experiencing how a group of contemporary Korean visual artists work. The artists utilize an international form language in installations, conceptual art, and videos while at the same time researching into developing and refining these expressions.

ATELIER 5 1/2.

Author: Burkard, Lene, ed
Year: 2001
Country or State of Origin: Denmark

This group of five Danish textile artists includes Lisbet Friis, Nina Hart, Gitte-Annette Knudsen, Inge Lindqvist and Janne Wendt. Here, they have organized their energy around a common theme: textiles as myth and icon. In the exhibited works, they are ready to unravel-with great skill, seriousness and humor- some of the most deep- seated myths. The icons that inspired them have been subjected to a material process which also becomes a process of transformation and recognition. Here, icons include honorary ribbons, white, tartan designs, knitted caps and more.

For the first time in the history of the Venice Biennale, two artists from different countries-Denmark and United States- will be displaying a joint project inside a national pavilion.
