Formalistic approach
At the heart of our exhibition lies our new showroom, which prompted us to delve into our surroundings and the architecture of Dronningegården from 1958. Designed by architect and professor Kay Otto Fisker, the structure serves as a bridge between tradition and modernity, becoming an exponent of international functionalism.
The functionalist and almost formalistic approach, in the concept, is understood as purifying, carving, and analyzing the forms, allowing them to speak for themselves without embellishment. An airy aesthetic is crafted, emphasizing the purity of form.
Artworks curated by Anja Soussan
Anja Soussan, founder of Galerie Soussan, infuses her vision and expertise into her role as Art Curator for our I CON TEMP exhibition. With a sharp focus on innovation and a profound grasp of contemporary art, Anja's thoughtful curation includes a captivating array of artworks. From Sascha Anthony's mesmerizing resin vases to Silje Lindrup's delicate glass creations, and artworks by Ida Hermansen, her curation is both thoughtful and engaging.
Our exhibition is curated to facilitate easy discovery, inviting visitors to connect with the forms and lines that speak to them both thorugh design and art – or the icons that resonate with their individuality. In our surroundings we make room for pauses to study forms, providing space for viewers to dream.
