Haunted House / Hjemsøkt hus

About:

The exhibition Haunted House by artists and choreographers Helle Siljeholm and Ingri Fiksdal explores the idea of home in light of Kunstnernes Hus’ nearly 100-year history. The exhibition reflects on the significance of the home for society and artists, and how roles such as mother, wife, and woman have often been limiting for female artists, especially during their own lifetimes.

Focusing on deceased female artists and selected group exhibitions in the history of Kunstnernes Hus, the exhibition sheds light on how the home – as a place of safety, loss, threat, or limitation – has shaped both artistic practice and the art institution. The work is an immersive choreographic universe of light, sound, sculpture, and movement.
