Orchard

Exhibition view, Eksrummet, 2019

Solo exhibition at Eks-rummet, Copenhagen, Denmark

March 8th. to March 17th. 2019.

When planning an orchard or plantation, you have to consider the layout system or contour system. Some of these systems: Interplanting or Diamond Planting, where the trees are planted at staggered intervals, has gained supernatural significance as it coincides with a pattern in sacred geometry: A five-pointed system known as the Quincunx Pattern.

Interplanting is a juncture where practical knowledge of forestry and permaculture meets esoteric occult tradition.

The exhibition Orchard transforms Eks-rummet into an alternative, dark and meditative three-dimensional plantation plan, where the Interplanting system is examined and repeated throughout the installation.

The installation is made up of textile collages, light and sound. The collages are customized to Eks-rummet, and made with transparent fabrics such as tulle, silk chiffon, hand coloured silk and organza. Hanging from floor to ceiling and wall to wall, with strategically placed openings for the visitor to pass through, they depict trees, stylized into circles of different sizes and colours. The circles create various interplanting systems, depending on the position of the visitor in the installation.
The light from the customized ceiling, creates its own plantation pattern above, and the sound is a recording from a Danish apple plantation, recorded in August 2018.

EKS-RUMMET is an artist run project- and exhibition space located at Prags Boulevard in Copenhagen in the studio union of Prag 61.
EKS-RUMMET was a former studio but since 2015 it has been turned into an exhibition space, with its own entrance. Eks-rummet is run by the artist of Prag 61, and since its beginning in 2015 EKS-RUMMET has shown new as well as more established names from the art
scene.

The exhibition is kindly supported by The Copenhagen Municipality’s Council of Visual Arts.
