Nanna Abell

Press release

Small, fragile wall objects are displayed side by side with huge, worn-out fenders from container ships and GIFs from the internet. Danish artist Nanna Abell (b. 1985) tantalizes the senses by combining carefully selected materials in surprising constellations.

In a world of constant stimuli, Abell slows down the pace in the exhibition shrink in an orange sweetness and emphasizes the small, tactile experiences: a dry stalk, cracks, seed stalks that almost sprinkle, and the weight of cheese pops in a net. Abell's material combinations create connections across the exhibition, where a vibrant erotic undercurrent can be sensed in the carefully matched surfaces and textures.
