ANDREAS SCHULENBURG, JESPER DALGAARD & ULU BRAUN
It is with great pleasure that Charlotte Fogh Contemporary presents a group exhibition with the artists Andreas Schulenburg, Jesper Dalgaard and Ulu Braun.
As a presentation of the three artists the exhibition embraces sculptures, reliefs, video and collages. The common denominator of the three artists is a profound focus on the imaginative in their work on the relationship between nature and culture.
With his felt sculptures, Andreas Schulenburg strives to change our usual view of the logic of things. Through a humoristic and absurd twist of nature/culture the artworks creates a reflection on the traditional order of reality.
The works of Jesper Dalgaard take off in an immanent interest in culture’s effect on nature and vice versa, which is expressed in a peculiar sculptural universe questioning our cultural history and its constructions.
Ulu Braun presents small concentrated collages, that operate in the area between imagination and reality as well as nature and culture. With their surreal atmosphere the artworks are exuberant, eccentric, beautiful and terrifying fiction.

Jacob Taekker
Charlotte Fogh Contemporary is happy to introduce the video artist Jacob Taekker’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, “Cave and Reality”.
The exhibition presents his latest video installations that all focus on the human need of and drive towards communication and artistic expression. Generally, the videos revolve around man’s eternal struggle to reach the top and how to balance in the world we have constructed. The main work of the exhibition, “Cave and Reality”, therefore poses the question of what is reality and what is construction based on Platon’s famous Allegory of the Cave.
With his influence from feature films, music videos and computer games, Jacob Taekker has contributed in setting new standards for video art and has exhibited at various galleries and museums both nationally and internationally. The videos of Jacob Taekker are represented in both private collections and in the collection of Skive Museum of Art.
