Om udstillingen:

Laure Prouvost arbejder i et fabulerende kunstnerisk formsprog, der spænder fra film og installation til skulptur, lyd og performance. Hun er kendt for sine sanselige, surrealistiske og stemningsfulde totalinstallationer, der på humoristisk og idiosynkratisk vis skaber en ramme for hendes filmværker. Her udviskes grænser mellem fiktion og virkelighed og sprogets flertydighed udforskes.

Med udstillingen 'Our elastic arm hold in tight through the claouds' omdanner Prouvost hele Kunsthal Charlottenborgs nordfløj til en labyrintisk installation, der skaber sin helt egen, overjordiske verden. Udstillingen er skabt som en totaloplevelse, der med en ny videoinstallation produceret i samarbejde med Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) i Melbourne vil introducere publikum til Prouvosts livlige, fængslende og ofte humoristiske kunstneriske praksis.

Udstillingen er kurateret af Henriette Bretton-Meyer og er produceret i samarbejde med Australian Centre for Contemporary Art i Melbourne. Udstillingen præsenteres som del af Kunsthal Charlottenborgs samarbejde med CPH:DOX og er støttet af Augustinus Fonden, Institut français du Danemark, Kvadrat, Det Obelske Familiefond og Statens Kunstfond.

About the exhibition:

Laure Prouvost works with a richly imaginative artistic language encompassing film and installation as well as sculpture, sound and performance. She is known for her sensuous and evocative immersive installations where the boundaries between fiction and reality become blurred and the ambiguities of language are explored.

For the exhibition ‘Our elastic arm hold in tight through the claouds., Prouvost will transform Kunsthal Charlottenborg’s entire north wing into a labyrinthine and other-worldly installation. Conceived as a total experience, centered around a new video installation, co-commissioned with the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) in Melbourne, the exhibition will introduce audiences to the spirited, absorbing and frequently humourous hallmarks of Prouvost’s diverse artistic practice.

‘Our elastic arm hold in tight through the claouds’ is curated by Henriette Bretton-Meyer and produced in collaboration with the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art in Melbourne. The exhibition is presented as part of Kunsthal Charlottenborg’s collaboration with CPH:DOX – Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival and is supported by the Augustinus Foundation, the Institut français du Danemark, Kvadrat, the Obel Family Foundation and the Danish Arts Foundation.
