The exhibition I am fire and water offers a unique opportunity to explore new works by Ursula Reuter Christiansen and reflect on how we humans navigate a world filled with both hope and despair.

How can we retain our essential humanity in a world where hope and courage are constantly beset by cruelty and despair? What do we do when children are robbed of their lives in war? And how do we say goodbye to this world, poised between love and the abyss?

These are some of the weighty and highly topical questions raised by Ursula Reuter Christiansen – one of Denmark’s most significant living artists – in her installations and paintings in the exhibition I Am Fire and Water, opening on 22 August 2024.
