What happens when the systems we are dependent upon “fall out”? This question is the theme of FALL OUT, a collaboration between Gl Holtegaard, Denmark, and Malmö Konsthall, Sweden. In their works the participating artists examine what happens when the social, political and economic systems we rely on break down, spin out of control or mutate. The invited artists of FALL OUT highlight human dependence on structures and systems. They probe the possible crises triggered by “fall out”, but also the potential it holds for spurring creativity and personal liberation.
In connection with the opening of the exhibition, the reader FALL OUT will be published. In text and image, FALL OUT discusses how system collapses are reflected in art. It contains essays by Jacob Fabricius, Mads Damsbo & Merete Jankowski, Ole Thyssen and WHW (What, How & for Whom) and interviews with the participating artists.
