I hope you have the enjoyed this exhibition as much as I have…… 🙂
Note: The selection of works on this blog are my own, and I have quoted the artists’ statements from the exhibition catalogue, where I found that they could help illustrating the work.
Truels' Blog 
I think the last one is my favorite. Is that you reflected in the glass?

Truels, you have some fine artists in Denmark. I’ve enjoyed your exhibit.. I like the duck in the water, what is it made out of?

The duck is made of plastic – and a LOT of air!!!

Thanks for taking us on this tour through a very interesting exhibition. I wish I’d decided going there.
In two years perhaps we can meet there for a cup of coffee and a photo walk?

I think the top shot is my favourite of the lot – love the dangling legs that seem to disappear into the greenery.

I love this sculpture too – and was in doubt whether the perspective should be with the forest or the water in the background…

These call could be the very best of the best you’ve shown! What a wonderful display of creativity and talent. How can one NOT love the giant glass swan?? 🙂
LikeLike
No, the swan was like something out of a fairy tale (though it is plastic!) In these environments and so light and airy – and yet VERY big!

Some stunning sculptures. The ‘man’ with the ‘four’ eyes made me se with ‘blurry’ eyes as if I had four 🙂

I was totally confused looking at this statue – and have still the same feeling, when I look at the photos of him. Amazing how this work can manipulate with our brain!!!
LikeLike
I feel the same – I can’t actually look at that statue’s head. It feels as though I need to re-align my glasses. Very disconcerting.

The more you show of this exhibition, the more fantastic ! This “Rocking Lady” is just amazing. Even the tree in the background seems to bend its branches to have a closer look 😉 Wonderful exhibition and landscape, Truels, thanks a lot for bringing us along.

It seems like you (and others) are just as impressed by the works of these artists as I were. Great!!! 😉

What an amazing exhibition. Thanks so much for sharing.
The “Inner Expression” piece is hard to look at. I felt like I couldn’t focus my eyes. Did you get the same disoriented feeling looking at it in person.
Glad I discovered your Blog. I’ll be back.

Wow. That is great and interesting post with awesome photos. Most of all I love “Quantum sequestion” photo. To me it is so cozy, because I see in it firewood, firewood for my fireplace. I have seen here somewhere same kind of heap on somebody’s courtyard. The owner dried up the firewood nearly that way for the winter.
LikeLike
The heap you have seen is probably like the on beside the blue chair on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewood
But these were not heaps – but sculptures, where the wood was fixed on a circular frame 🙂
LikeLike
Oh yeah, I see that it was something like that in Wikipedia. But this still causes to me a question: Did the artist see that heap in Internet and took the idea for his art work. 🙂
Anyway it was a funny coincidence, because I was just today on my courtyard cutting and splitting firewood for winter!

Here in Denmark I have seen quite a lot of people making round wood-heaps like this (the one shown on Wikipedia) for their fire-wood, I do not know if the artists (Danes 😉 ) have been inspired by those?
I have tried to make such a heap for my firewood to a couple of times, but it is difficult to make it both nice and steady at the same time!

I really love the last shot. It’s like looking into another dimension.
