House in Motion

Architecture and art have always had a close relationship - sometimes it's pure symbiosis other times a stormy affair and yet it's never boring.

In the exhibition House in Motion the works of artist Jes Fomsgaard and architect Anders Abraham come together for the  first time. Abraham makes the very architectual and spatial works of Fomsgaard come alive in a series of installations inspired by Fomsgaard's paintings.

The exhibition also looks at the concrete meeting between architect and artist through a number of quotes by Abraham and Fomsgaard that illuminates their different opinions about the relationship between architecture and art.
