Within these, she creates her own systems by connecting different cultures and eras in a non-hierarchical way. Her sculptures scrutinize economic, social, and intellectual structures that are geared towards constant growth.

• Kirstine Aarkrog ^(DK)

  Kirstine Aarkrog is a visual artist working with sculpture. A central part of her practice is making invisible structures physical and concrete, especially structures which we as a society repress or ignore, such as for instance nuclear power, abuse, addiction, intimacy, sexuality, violence, weapons, mining, grief etc. Aarkrog’s work is often based on a kind of field work. She places herself in a given environment and in the investigation of it. She tries to avoid prejudice by being a kind of actor and break into a system so to speak. The purpose of this field work is not conclusions but artworks. Kirstine Aarkrog work with sculpture because sculpture is related to what is physically possible. It is able to express the opposite – like humans. Functionality and technique are common trait in her sculptures. They are often tools or devices for potential actions. In the work, she treats the elements equally – social relations equally with plaster etc.

• Therese Bülow ^(DK)

With a particular interest in the body, craft traditions, and how we as humans care for each other and our environment, Bülow has a radical approach to the materials in her work. Insisting on a practical bodily relationship to the resources in her practice, she works with materials such as linen, soap, cork and found objects. Therese Bülow holds a MFA from Konsthögskolan i Malmö from 2022 and is newly accepted at the Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen programme for art in public spaces 2024/2025.

• Ditte Soria ^(DK)

  Ditte Soria (b. 1982, Copenhagen) works across media with a focus on drawing and text. In her artistic practice, ideas are placed under thematic umbrellas, which cover distinct logics, methods and materials. They get titles like Foam Arisen X, Millennium Lounge, Sketches for George Zero, Yellow Alert, I Stretches and Goofy Tactics. Common to these projects are questions related to the constitution of an ‘I’, visual language and artistic strategies. She investigates the creation of the artist and the ego as a plastic dimension, and based on existing visual cultures, she redirects layers of meaning by e.g. to use hobby materials, shrink motifs and abstract beyond the figurative. Ditte Soria works in a number of collaborations and has, among other things, curated the exhibition project and the book publication Motherload with Anna Margrethe Pedersen. She is co-founder of YEARS (artist collective and former exhibition venue), with whom she has exhibited at Den Frie and SMK and created two permanent, public sculptures and a third ongoing. Ditte Soria’s works have been acquired by the Danish Arts Foundation and the Council for Visual Arts and are included with YEARS in SMK’s collection. She has also written two unpublished novels. She works as acting artistic director of HFKD (House for Art and Design in Holstebro) and lives on Møn. She is educated from the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna and the Funen Art Academy, from which she graduated in 2011.
