We should meet in air

KH7 Artspace
29/11 - 14/12 2024

Nanna Riis Andersen, Johanne Helga Heiberg, and Signe Parkins explore and expand the use of drawing as a visual art medium. The artists have chosen the phrase ‘We Should Meet in Air’ as a shared artistic framework. The phrase is taken from Sylvia Plath’s poem ‘Lesbos’ from her 1965 poetry collection Ariel. The title ‘We Should Meet in Air’ evokes associations of a connection in another sphere, perhaps an otherworldly place. Together, the works present a poetic and complex vision of the world as seen through the artists’ eyes. A world where the vulnerable and the massive coexist simultaneously—not as opposites but as a unified force.
