ABOUT MAJ KJÆRSIG
Maj Kjærsig is an artist based in Odsherred, exploring the intersection of sound and visual arts. Since graduating from Funen Art Academy in 2016, she has focused on sound and ceramics in installations and sculptures. With a musical background, sound is integral to her work. She delves into material reverberation and its impact on spatial, human, and more-than-human environments.
Using experimental techniques, she work with basic structures like floors, walls, bells and towers, portraying mental states through construction, collapse, and renewal. Kjærsig’s art questions the structures that surround us, offering a poetic reflection on our existence. The works are visual, rhythmic, and relationally inquisitive. Through her art, she aims to evoke emotions and offer its audience a meaningful, moving experience.

ABOUT JOHANNE RUDE LINDEGAARD
Johanne Rude Lindegaard (b. 1987) graduated from the Funen Academy of Fine Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (Expanded Pictorial Space with Professor Daniel Richter). She received the 15. Juni Foundation Honorary Award for her graduation works exhibited at Brandts Kunstmuseum in 2017 and has since received the Danish Arts Foundation's work grant on several occasions. She had her first major institutional solo exhibition “Shadows in Pieces” at O-Overgaden in 2021, and made her first permanent decoration “Sensibility Sea” at Østre Landsret in 2022. She has since continued her interest in painting in an expanded field. Among other things, with his decoration “Supply and Demand” at Tietgenskolen, and in the large-scale exhibition “Phantomrum” at Gammelgaard in collaboration with the photographer and scenographer Freya Sif Hestnes in 2024.
Lindegaard sees perception and bodily cognition as a basic condition for the human mental space and perception of reality. Based on traditional Western painting techniques combined with new approaches to painting, Lindegaard examines how the body relates to the image, when it is both illusion, object and installation in one.
