NORNS - Sense it

NORNS is a special exhibition at the Utzon Center from May 13th. - October 23th. 2016. The exhibition is the culmination of a new transatlantic collaboration between Annemette Beck (DK), Sofie Kinch (DK) and Cecilia Ramos (NY). The three exhibitors contribute to the project each with their different creative disciplines, yet with the common ground that they have all worked with leading fashion houses, architects and artists globally to realize stunning environmental experiences.

The unique architecture of the Utzon Center has been especially considered for this exhibition. Like the roots of a tree, the arch of the ceiling at the Utzon Center stretches up toward a natural opening of light 10 meters above floor level. It is in this room that the visitors are presented with 4 primary installations, created within the field of textiles (Beck), atmosphere (Kinch) and lighting (Ramos).

The special exhibition NORNS at the Utzon Center is an ambitious exhibition-project touring the world presenting Nordic cultural history in a new artistic interpretation.
