12. apríl – 6. júní
OPENING: April 12 at 4 pm
The exhibition Everything with Tenderness, featuring oil paintings by Ra Tack and a new sculptural series, The Ferryman and His Staff, by Julie Lænkholm, offers a tender, introspective journey for both artists who are exploring themes of transformation through various practices in acts of care.
Ra Tack (they/them) is a Belgian painter living in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland. Tack’s work invites the viewer into a lush, timeless world that is at the same time familiar and fantastic – a utopia full of longing. Tack’s oil paintings explore themes of transition, duality, love, and still life, blending impressionistic intensity with a confronting absence of ecological impulse. Their works reflect isolation and dislocation, oscillating between abstraction and representation and weaving imaginative landscapes with colours as texture. Selected exhibitions include: “Tell me I will be fine after all”, Associate Gallery, Reykjavik, Iceland (2023), “Always, the End is Everything” (with Florence Peake) at IMT Gallery, London, UK (2024); “I don’t know how to human in theatre of nature”, Sláturhúsið, Egilstaddir, Iceland (2020), “Unknown Benevolence”. Hafnarborg, Iceland (2024).
Julie Lænkholm (b. 1985) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. Rooted in the ideas and methods inherent to collective learning, investigating techniques and practices traditionally passed down orally from generation to generation, Lænkholm explores a predominantly female-driven history and knowledge which has been forgotten or otherwise actively ignored. Through her practice, she aims to bring these lost narratives back into focus and place them within a contemporary discourse. Solo Exhibitions include: ”En Vinterhave/Den Indre Vinter”, ARoS, Århus, Denmark (2024), Motherwort, permanent installation, Noma, Copenhagen, Denmark (2023), Solo exhibition, Ásmundarsalur, Reykjavík, Iceland (2022), Dying Ocean Metal Waterfall, Textile Arts Center, New York City, USA (2020), Omsorg, Galleri Nicolai Wallner, Copenhagen, Denmark (2020 / 2021).
