Publication: The Negative of Knowing

In her work, Christine Dahlerup integrates sculpture, installation, text and images with form, mediation and spectatorship. Exploring how narratives about society are constructed, Dahlerup has an interest in how we engage with flatness and what is framed. The space occupied tests the ‘weightiness’ of art historical discourse and examines the properties of image and vision. The authorship of each work aims to contain both the innateness of things, the artist, the exhibition space, and the eyes looking at the work.

This digital publication was created in connection with Christine Dahlerup’s residency at Art Hub Copenhagen in the fall of 2025. Thanks to Christine Dahlerup and Paola Paleari, writer and freelance curator based in Copenhagen.
