The Silence Project will open with an exhibition “Silent Space – Intensified Integrities” in Meinblau Atelierhaus in Berlin (5.4. – 30.4.2014). The exhibition presents a selection of Nordic female artists whose work reflects the layering of environment and personal space.
Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir self-portraits explore the extreme Icelandic weather, Mia Hamari´s wooden sculptures draw our attention to the strong connection between forest and nature, Marja Helanders’ “Darkness Series” pictures emphasize the sense of non-places with their dark palette and emptiness. Nina Backman’s Aino performance presents a provocative exploration of how we mark our space in an urban context. Lene Berg’s silent video “Shaving of the Baroness” invites reflection on intimacy. Lise Björne Linnerts 65 299 Knots – A Pain Registry is a site-specific installation based on the experience of pain. Using a scaled-down version of a typical glazed balcony in Finland, Sari Palosaares’ Blinds (Balcony) is a sculptural work exploring visual silence in high-density housing. The exhibition is co–curated by Nina Backman and Professor Mika Hannula.
