The Length of The Horizon
The Length of The Horizon, her first major exhibition in Scandinavia, Kapwani Kiwanga examines power dynamics and social mechanisms through large-scale installations of plants, color, and light. The artworks use botanical elements and architectural designs to unveil historical narratives and the subtle influences of disciplinary spaces, creating an immersive experience that transcends aesthetic beauty to delve into sociopolitical issues.
Copenhagen Contemporary, Refshalevej 173A, 1432 København, Denmark. Runs through August 25, 2024.
Exhibition Description
"Kapwani Kiwanga masters aesthetic seduction. Her works allow for going beyond sensory and visual pleasure, as upon closer inspection, they reveal historical sociopolitical dimensions that double the impact and give Kiwanga’s works a lasting effect. The exhibition is created in collaboration with the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg in Germany. It is accompanied by an extensive, richly illustrated catalog in Danish and English with texts by Cecilia Alemani, Uta Ruhkamp, Julie Pellegrin, Andreas Beitin, and CC’s director Marie Laurberg. It is distributed internationally by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König and sold in CC’s shop."
