Oh Sweet Encounter Of These Other Worlds

“Oh sweet encounter of these other worlds” is the second exhibition of the Blueproject Foundation residency program. A proposal by Barbara Amalie Skovmand Thomsen y Marie-Louise Andersson that reflect the profound longing within us to embrace and even embody that, which is different from and outside ourselves.

Separate in two independent exhibitions (Blue Horizon by Barbara Amalie Skovmand Thomsen and Geometry of Language by Marie-Louise Andersson), the project analyses the concept of otherness, revealed both in the imaginative evocation of the possibilities of alien worlds via the tactility of science fiction aesthetics, and in the staging of a state of paradise crafted through the will and hands of human beings.

In Blue Horizon, ‘nature’ (the landscape of an ocean) is dealt with as a psychedelic surrounding-ness in the atmospheric video of the same name, while on the contrary, ‘nature’ in the shape of blue mountains becomes a mockup in the jelly sculpture.

Geometry of Language present paperwork and spatial sound installation. Andersson´s work focuses on performance as living sculpture. With a tactile and poetic perception of the world she combines concepts of physics and mathematics into musical structures in her performances.
