Press release, February 2024

You are warmly invited to join us for the opening of a new exhibition Real Realities for Real – a group exhibition with Yaniya Mikhalina and Isabella Solar Villaseca.

Real Realities for Real is an exhibition which orbits histories and ontologies – from the weight of historiography to more contingent forms of narrative such as anecdote, oral history and family photo albums. Through different artistic means, Yaniya Mikhalina and Isabella Solar Villaseca respectively pose the challenge of coming to grips with realities as such, and not just how ‘it’ – Reality: in the singular – comes to be represented. From the vantage point of exile and historical distance, they are less concerned with restoring truth or vindicating a better form of representation than they are with intuition and imagination. The exhibition is curated by Karin Bähler Lavér.

Opening: Saturday, 2nd of March, 3-6pm.
Exhibition period: March 2 - 30, 2024.

This exhibition is kindly supported by Danish Arts Foundation and The City of Copenhagen.
