Press release, August 2021
“I, too, said nothing, showed nothing, I didn’t open my mouth, I didn’t repaint my half of the world.”
Inspired by Eks-rummet’s strangely split-in-two showroom, the exhibiting artists have been asked to contribute with two artworks each: two pieces that are connected – mirroring, echoing or perhaps opposing each other. With Salon Medusa we aim not only to paint one half but the entire world, and this will be manifested in a curatorial déjà-vu of repetitive figures shown in Eks-rummet’s double room.
The exhibiting artists are Sally Dalgaard (DK), Sara Malie (DK), Francisca Markus (DE/CL), Helli
Müller (DE), Hélène Padoux (FR) and Mille Quist (DK).

SALON MEDUSA I is the first edition of a series of collaborative exhibitions aiming to mobilize and bring together women, trans- and nonbinary artists from different artistic contexts. The project is a border-crossing protest against our continuous underrepresentation within the contemporary art scene and intends to facilitate direct physical exposure to this left out majority, one exhibition at a time.
