Like oversized sheets of paper – some have holes as if from a hole punch, others have dog-ears, folds, or a crumpled post-it note...
The exhibition “Some Windows Are Blind” presents a series of five sculptures placed in the landscape around 44Møen. They resemble abstract maps and boards that both collect and transmit information. Made of various metals – copper, aluminum, steel and tin – they react differently to weather and touch. They take the form of enlarged sheets of paper; some have holes like those of a hole punch, while others have dog-ears, folds or a crumpled post-it note. Their titles open up a poetic space where literary narratives merge with the materials and the surrounding landscape. The works are a continuation of the artistic dialogue between Aia Sofia C. Turan and Cecilie Skov. With “Some Windows Are Blind”, they extend this dialogue by creating collaborative works for the outdoor space.
The exhibition is curated by Julia Rodrigues and generously supported by Statens Værksteder for Kunst, Statens Kunstfond, L.F Foghts Fonden, William Demant Fonden and Overretssagsfører L. Zeuthens Mindelegat. In conjunction with the exhibition Aia and Cecilie have been invited to be resident artists for a project with two primary school classes from local schools on Møn. The kids will try their hands at crafting, moulding and casting, traces in natur, and understanding the effects of weather on objects. The project is housed in 44Møens Laboratory for Nature and Art.
