Køppe Contemporary Objects invites you to the opening of the exhibition Ødeland.
For millennia, we have helped ourselves to the riches of the Earth. We humans have squandered as if resources would never run out. But the raw materials used to produce ceramics are non-renewable.
Ceramics are made from clay and minerals extracted from the ground. Are there alternatives to the virgin resources we dig from the earth?Each year, enormous amounts of ceramic waste are discarded—tiles, pots, plates, toilets, and bricks.
Christina Schou Christensen, Thora Finnsdottir, and Signe Fensholt use this waste to create new ceramic objects, and in the exhibition, you will see the results of their experiments. Their investigations have been part of their artistic practice in collaboration with the EU project Hephæstus.
