 <\/p>\n

Soloudstilling i Eks-rummet, K\u00f8benhavn 2019<\/p>\n

Titlen henviser til liminale rum, hvor overgang til en anden tilstand eller transformation er muligt. Udstillingen best\u00e5r af performancevideo og maleri, hvor det tekniske udgangspunkt er ikonmaleriet. Foruden at v\u00e6re \u00e6gtempera p\u00e5 tr\u00e6plade kan ikonmaleriets proces v\u00e6re en form for b\u00f8n og meditation, hvor man opn\u00e5r en dybere forst\u00e5else af motivet. Ikoner har fungeret som repr\u00e6sentationer af og d\u00f8re til en anden dimension.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luise Sejersen betragter samtidig ikoner som collager, der kan dekonstrueres. I malerierne fokuserer hun p\u00e5 de rumlige virkemidler og enkelte symboler, som eksempelvis ildglorien fra persiske illustrationer, der her befinder sig et sted mellem helligt lys og forandringsskabende ild. Billederne har karakter af mentale rum som st\u00e5r \u00e5bne for beskueren. De l\u00e5ner fra flere kunst- og religionshistoriske perioder og disse m\u00f8der skaber mulighed for at reflektere over kollektive spirituelle og mytologiske symboler. I performancevideo unders\u00f8ges symboler og udtryk med kroppen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ideen til udstillingen er opst\u00e5et under et ophold p\u00e5 Det Danske Institut i Athen i september og oktober 2018, hvor hun studerede f\u00f8rmoderne religi\u00f8se billeder fra antikken, den byzantinske periode og osmannisk tid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Udstillingen er st\u00f8ttet af Knud H\u00f8jgaards Fond og K\u00f8benhavns Kommunes Billedkunstudvalg.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solo exhibition at Eks-rummet, Copenhagen 2019<\/span><\/p>\n

The title refers to liminal spaces where transition from one state to another or transformation is possible. The exhibition consists of tempera paintings and performance video, with icon painting as the technical starting point. Besides being eggtempera on a wooden panel, the process of painting icons can be a form of prayer and meditation, where you reach a deeper understanding of the motif. Icons have traditionally served as representations of another dimension.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luise Sejersen considers icons as collages that can be deconstructed. In her paintings she focuses on spatial elements and certain symbols such as the halo of fire in Persian illustrations, which are similar to both sacred light and transformational fire. The paintings represent mental spaces that are open to the viewer. They refer to different historical periods of art and religion and these encounters give space for reflections on collective spiritual and mythological symbols. Symbols are also explored with the body in performance video.<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea for the exhibition was developed during a stay at The Danish Institute in Athens in September – October 2018 where she studied pre-modern religious images from antiquity, the Byzantine period and Ottoman times.<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition is kindly supported by Knud H\u00f8jgaards Fond and The Municipality of Copenhagen.<\/span><\/p>\n
