The I Am Our Common Pronoun group exhibition was on at Copenhagen’s Kunsthal Charlottenborg ran September 1 to 3.
Curated by Helga Christoffersen, the event was part of the Nordic Chart Art Fair‘s ‘Chart Emerging’ section and was the result of a three-year project researching the work of emerging artists from Nordic countries; ’emerging’ referring to “a budding moment of artistic development,” rather than age or other positional factors.
The artists included Zoe Barcza, Nanna Abell, Sigurdur Ámundason, Mira Eklund, Artor Jesus Inkerö, Yassine Khaled,
Eirik Sæther, Vidha Saumya, Amalie Smith and a collective consisting of Josefin Jussi Andersson, Klara Ström and Hannah Wiker Wilkström.
The title of the exhibition is taken from Amalie Smith’s book I Civil (2012), which looks at the porousness of the body and what it is that connects and separates us, and considers how language and the concept of self “can also be expanded or broken down in an effort to express identification, empathy, love, and belonging.”**
