The theme of this year Wadden Tide is sand. Nine artists explore sand as material, history and resource in sculptures, installations and performances created specifically for the exhibition located in a beautiful UNESCO World Heritage site.
The participating artists are Hanne Nielsen & Birgit Johnsen, Kåre Frang, Kasper Hesselbjerg, Kirstine Roepstorff, Molly Haslund, Rasmus Myrup, Rikke Luther, Spacegirls and Tue Greenfort.
The exhibition title First There is a Mountain draws attention to the fact that everything around us is always changing. In three themes, First There is a Mountain focuses on the importance of sand for us humans - locally for the culture and nature of the Wadden Sea, historically and in the future, and globally as a dwindling natural resource.
- Quote by Qingyuan Weixin, 9th century
Look forward to magnificent sculptures, poetic installations, in-depth research, sensuous videos and breathtaking performances on Blåvandshuk Beach, when the nine artists approach the theme from new angles.
First There is a Mountain opens on 31 August at Blåvandshuk Beach. Everyone is welcome. The opening will also be the premiere for a performance by Molly Haslund.
During the exhibition period, First There is a Mountain offers experiences for all ages. Look forward to experiencing - and re-experiencing - sand in new ways.
First There Is A Mountain is the fourth Wadden Tide exhibition.
Wadden Tide 2023, the exhibition will be curated by Empathic Environments by Stenka Hellfach and Tyra Dokkedahl.
