RANDI & KATRINE - The House in Your Head
9.February - 4. May 2008

The exhibition has been awarded a prize by The Danish Arts Foundation

”We are both deeply fascinated by houses. The house is the framework
around life, but also a picture of the life, which takes place inside it.”

That’s how Randi & Katrine describe their giant sculptures on the exhibition, which
focuses on the dual role of the house as space and picture.

Randi & Katrine belong among the most sensational young, Danish artists right now.
Recently they have made their mark nationally and internationally with their romantic
installations and sculptures, which often show as small, scenic stories. This solo
exhibition at GL STRAND presents two giant sculptures. The sculptures have both shape
as a house and a face. With the exhibition the artists strike up a poetic reflection on the
dual role of the house as both space and picture.

The past influences the present in the work of Randi & Katrine. In the giant sculptures at
GL STRAND it is the carnival and the mask, which the artists have used to create the
experience of an in and an out in the two works. Windows and doors turn into eyes, ears
and mouth in the two sculptures, which are made into living faces by mechanic windows,
which open and close on it’s own. Inside the two houses the light shines and creates the
idea of an inner life.

The giant sculptures at GL STRAND are made at The National Workshops for Arts and
Crafts in Copenhagen. Together with the exhibition follows a richly illustrated catalogue
with an essay written by the headmaster of The Royal Danish Art Academy Mikkel Bogh
and a interview with the two artists.
