From the organisers:
In connection with the current Platform exhibition ‘Rest and Routine – Duet for Sanatorium and Modern Hospital,’ Nikolaj Kunsthal invites you to a screening of ‘Caring’ (13 min.) and a viewing of the work ‘I don’t understand the words you use”'(3D animation, 11 min.) This will be followed by a conversation about the healing properties of architecture.
The film ‘Caring’ was created by Stockholm-based artist Emelie Carlén and deals with issues of care in architecture, based on Alvar Aalto’s Paimio Sanatorium in Finland. The work ‘I don’t understand the words you use’ was created by Cecilie Penney, who is also the artist behind the current exhibition ‘Rest and Routine – Duet for Sanatorium and Modern Hospital’ at Platform. The work shows an animated figure attempting to navigate the challenges of the healthcare system.
The conversation about the health-promoting properties of architecture takes place between architect, designer, and author Christoffer Harlang and artist and composer Cecilie Penney, among others. The conversation takes place at Platform and is moderated by the curator behind the exhibition, Lawrence Ebelle.
