Malene Hartmann og Frans Drewniak

In this talk, architect Frans Drewniak will present his collaboration with visual artist Malene Hartmann entitled The Sandiness of Sand. The title refers to the playful writings of the British architects Alison and Peter Smithson and their early critique of the consumer society.

Photographic works, paintings, tiles, and drawings produced by Hartmann & Drewniak are based on their residency at Can Lis in Mallorca, designed by architect Jørn Utzon.

The work, supported by Statens Kunstfond and Dreyers Fond, has recently been exhibited at the Architects’ Association in Palma de Mallorca. The artwork revolves around the theme of the life cycle and the millions of years it has taken to form many of the natural resources we consume. It also explores how the beauty of Jørn Utzon's Can Lis is inextricably linked to its decay.

We invite reflection on the passage of time and the materiality of the landscape. These themes connect directly with “slowing down” and the ways we can inhabit this world with greater sensitivity and respect. An attempt to achieve resonance and explore alternatives to consumption and growth?

I denne samtale vil arkitekt Frans Drewniak præsentere sit samarbejde med billedkunstner Malene Hartmann under titlen The Sandiness of Sand. Titlen refererer til de britiske arkitekter Alison og Peter Smithsons legende skrivestil og deres tidlige kritik af forbrugersamfundet.

Fotografiske værker, malerier, fliser og tegninger skabt af Hartmann & Drewniak tager afsæt i deres residency i Can Lis på Mallorca, tegnet af arkitekt Jørn Utzon.

Værket, som er støttet af Statens Kunstfond og Dreyers Fond, har for nylig været udstillet hos Arkitektforeningen i Palma de Mallorca. Kunstprojektet kredser om livets cyklus og de millioner af år, det har taget at danne mange af de naturressourcer, vi forbruger. Samtidig undersøges, hvordan skønheden i Jørn Utzons Can Lis er uløseligt forbundet med forfald.

Vi inviterer til refleksion over tidens gang og landskabets materialitet. Disse temaer knytter sig direkte til idéen om at sænke tempoet og måder, hvorpå vi kan bebo denne verden med større følsomhed og respekt. Et forsøg på at opnå resonans og udforske alternativer til forbrug og vækst.
