Press release, December 2022
We are very exited to announce the opening of Amnesia by Jasmin Franko and Talk to me by Kamil Dossar at the gallery on friday the 9th of December. We will celebrate the opening with warm gløgg and cold beer from 4-pm till sold out.
Jasmin Franko (b. 1992) is an Iraqi-Hungarian artist born in Denmark. She lives and works in Copenhagen with a degree from the Royal Danish Academy – Crafts in Glass & Ceramics (2021). Franko’s practice involves a close engagement with form, using clay as her medium. Over the past year she has been especially focused on reclaiming the importance of craftmanship in the landscape of arts.
In Amnesia – Jasmin’s 2nd solo show at the gallery – a micro universe of artifacts, relics, fossils and creatures is unfolded. A universe that draws attention to the concept of memory as a poetic device and catalyst for imagination. Through nostalgia, dreams and art history Franko displays a series of ceramic sculptures that fundamentally looks at animism in a modern age through the living material – clay.

Kamil Dossar (b. 1988) is an Iraqi-Hungarian artist born in Denmark. He is currently finishing his master at the The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
In Talk to me – Kamil Dossar’s 1st soloshow at the gallery – the artist shows a series of works which meditates on memory and how it is harnessed by the body. Inspired by literature of Susan Sontag’s journals, Dodie Bellamy, Henri Bergson together with Dossar’s own personal introspections we find ourselves studying the timely decay of metals juxtaposed in cast – compositions of opposing materials pitted against each other as analogous for the ineffable qualities of mind and body. Dossar’s approach is somewhat archeological, revisiting the art historical traditions of relief, with a special interest in ancient Iraq, and uses the sculptural qualities both as a spatial body and as a surface for language.
