Revisit. The exhibition focuses on Justesen's long-term, in-depth work with ice as a material
Overgaden introduces its new exhibition format Revisit with a major solo exhibition by the Danish artist Kirsten Justesen. Celebrating the artistic long haul by revisiting key exhibitions and projects in the history of Overgaden-exploring and understanding them from a contemporary perspective. Revisit starts in 2013, with a major two-story solo exhibition of the work of Kirsten Justesen, marking the 20th anniversary of her iconic exhibition Smeltetid #5 at Overgaden. Ice Script - Meltingtime #17 links new and past works, examining Justesen's systematic and consistent use of ice as a focus of her art and research. For more than 30 years ice has been pivotal to Kirsten Justesen's art practice, and the exhibition includes a broad spectrum of works that use and relate to this cold element in relationship to time, metamorphosis and the body.
