Spring Fling
with Anna Aagaard Jensen & Bianca Lee Vasquez
Sound by Laura Kampman
4 May — 3 June 2023
Spring fling is an exhibition about the blossoming energy, manifested in warm lights and flirtatious silhouettes. The exhibition focuses on the playful and flirty feeling of spring. The flower is a central symbol of the composition, understood as the representation of the female body and the innocent, sometimes shy, sweetness of a moment. Flowers are enchanting anthems of spring. They dictate the seasons and announce the renaissance. They are the allegory of renewal, pleasure and desire. Is there anything more sensual, delicate and tender than a flower? Perhaps the delightful singing of a spring lovebird - one that prepares its soft feathers for the season of charming encounters venturing into the world more gracefully than ever before.
Spring has its own harmony. It unfolds gradually, like a gentle stream of desire and fruition, and so does the exhibition. Starting on the lower level of the gallery, with the encounter of bigger sculptural lights - while one casually leans against the wall another will curiously walk towards you. In the center, a branch grows out of the ceiling with a confronting floral light, almost forcing you into the playfulness of the scene. The upper level continues to please the viewers within the garden of curiosities. The show is accompanied with a soundtrack and two love birds gracing the works and teasing the visitors into the landscape of a spring fling.

A dance between souls,
lovers –
old and new.
Of a time to shine,
to rise up,
get out,
To flirt and fling.
a dance between you and them
a flirt.
Leaning back, they lock eyes and glow
Across the room they flirt
With eyes shy
They steal a look or two
