ARKEN presents the first grand solo exhibition in Denmark by the Norwegian born Danish artist Ann Lislegaard (b. 1962). She is a pioneer within the use of digital technology, 3D animation and science fiction — from the 1990's till today. The exhibition explores present-day questions about technology, the virtual world, gender and humanity through sensuous installations. New works created specifically for the exhibition will also be featured. The project is brought to life in collaboration with Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg and Kiasma.

The exhibition at ARKEN will open up to a beautiful and outlandish universe which is both seductive and unsettling. Ann Lislegaard seeks to challenge conventional patterns of thought and spark visions of altered, future worlds. Her work revolves around the breakdown of technology and language, exploring cracks in the familiar and the idea of the portal as a gateway to alternative dimensions where norms of gender and identity, the real and the artificial, are renegotiated. This fascination recurs throughout several of the works on display, along with references to science fiction, the non-human and the artificially created.
