DEM, curated by Heidi Hove & Jens Axel Beck /Koh-I-Noor, Alt_Cph, The Factory of Art and Design, Copenhagen, DK
Line Skywalker Karlströms contribution to the exhibition DEM consists of placing a fully functioning beehive next to The Factory of Art and Design at the Sundholm area. With installing a beehive next to the art building the artist intend to direct the audiences attention towards different, yet already present, layers of the Sundholm community – pointing out that it also is a diversive eco-system and a place where production of honey takes place. The performative dimension in the work is represented by the artists use of honey bees as trespassers, moving freely in the area, regardless of borders between us and them. The bees movements are twofolded: they're both dispersing a certain culture and collecting material from the same.
A warm thanks to Bybi for all their support and help.
