Dorota Gawęda and Eglė Kulbokaitė, For when I look at you for a moment, then it is no longer possible for me to speak; my tongue has snapped, at once a subtle fire has stolen beneath my flesh, I see nothing with my eyes, my ears hum, sweat pours from me, a trembling seizes me all over, I am greener than grass, and it seems to me that I am a little short of dying.

Exhibitions

The exhibition Ghosthouse will transform Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art into a house of horrors. Ghosthouse is simultaneously a traditional exhibition and an immersive performance. Artworks in versatile media are presented: sculptures, textile, fashion, costumes, concerts, performances, video works, installations. All the exhibited artworks pivot aspects of illusion and horror, representing the uncanny in minor offsets that turn the familiar into something disturbing, weird or eerie.

Exhibiting artists: DIS (US), Wilhelm Freddie (DK), Esben Weile Kjær (DK), Adam Christensen (UK), Rolf Nowotny (DK), Rikard Thambert (SE), Vaquera (US), Dorota Gawęda (PL) & Eglė Kulbokaitė (LT), Vitaly Bezpalov (RU), Wendy Jim (AT), Mette Hammer Juhl (DK) & Ruth Angel Edwards (UK), Aske Høier Olsen (DK), Roman Ole (DE).

Ghosthouse is curated by Anna Weile Kjær. It will only run by night from 9 pm to 2 am with prebooked tickets and fixed timeslots.
