GENSYN is an exhibition in which nine artists borrow from the history of art. They take inspiration from major works, periods and styles, then cut, remix, glue and copy them into something new. Some pieces closely resemble their models, while others move far away from them.
The show asks what happens when you take something someone else has made and make it your own. Art history is full of artists who have borrowed from one another, and the exhibition invites visitors to consider why today's artists should not do the same.
The artists are:
- Max Matthiessen
- Alex Ranthe
- Mariame Mist
- Ellen Thygesen
- Victoria Bisset
- Ester Brandt
- Karoline Nyborg
- Rikke Akselbo
- Liv Winkelmann
KÅNDST is an art and design workshop for young adults based at Husumvold Kirke.
