A chimney, fireplace, bedroom, sliding door, double hook: the vocabulary of the sculptures in the exhibition HOOK NO 10. lays the groundwork for an intricate web of associations connected to labor, specifically the dependencies between artisanal, industrial, biological and social reproduction and the bodies behind it. Sidsel Meineche Hansen addresses the shifting material and emotional value and valuation of crafted objects as property and objects of production. The artist’s objects highlight the psychological impact and divide between the persons who own vs those who do not, between those doing the owning vs not only those doing the crafting of the owned.

The exhibition is developed in partnership with Four Boxes. Krabbesholm, Danish Folk High School for Art, Architecture, Design and Visual Communication
