Og himmelen er nær,

regnvejr.

And the sky is near,

rainy weather.

Temaudstilling Vand Med BKF udstiller i Hillerød fra januar til marts 2026

DK:

Du/I er hermed inviteret til ferniseringen på "Vand" på Hillerøde Bibliotek d. 24. januar kl. 13.00-14.30. Temaet er VAND i alle dets afskygninger. Der vil være over 100 værker i størrelsen 30 x 30 cm i prisklassen fra kr. 1.000,- til kr. 2.500,- foruden større værker, skulpturer og installationer.

Alle værker er udført af dygtige kunstnere tilknyttet BkF Nordsjælland. Der vil blive serveret vin, øl og vand under en smuk musikledsagelse. 

TEMAUDSTILLING VAND

Hvordan ser/tolker kunstnerne opfattelsen af Vand?

I en tid med krige, klimakatastrofer etc. eller ´bare´ for den enkelte kunstner eller os alle.

Isen smelter, grundvandet stiger, og kraftige regnskyl oversvømmer landskaber og byer. Vand er en af vor tids største og mest presserende udfordringer. At vandet kommer er en ny virkelighed, som vi alle skal forholde os til.

Derfor ønsker Vandrehallen at BKF skal forholde sig til, hvad der sker når vandet kommer og hvordan det i givent fald ser ud. For at rammen for kunstnerne ikke skal være for begrænset, så skal udstillingen være en kunstnerisk undersøgelse af, hvordan forholdet mellem mennesker, natur og vand ser ud i en verden under forvandling. Gennem en sanselig udstilling ønsker Vandrehallen at udforske, hvilke udfordringer og muligheder, som opstår, når vandet former vores fremtid - også ved dets fravær.

Udstillingen skal sætte fokus på en fremtid, hvor vi skal navigere i stigende vandmasser – fra oven, fra havet og fra undergrunden eller hvad der sker, når vi ikke får det vand, vi forventer at få.

You are hereby invited to the premiere of "Water" at Hillerød Library on 24 January at 13.00-14.30. The theme is WATER in all its guises. There will be over 100 works in the size 30 x 30 cm in the price range from DKK 1,000 to DKK 2,500, in addition to larger works, sculptures and installations. All works are made by skilled artists associated with BkF Nordsjælland. Wine, beer and water will be served to beautiful musical accompaniment.

THEME EXHIBITION WATER

How do artists see/interpret the perception of Water?

In a time of wars, climate disasters etc. or 'just' for the individual artist or all of us.

The ice is melting, the groundwater is rising, and heavy rainfall is flooding landscapes and cities. Water is one of the biggest and most pressing challenges of our time. The arrival of water is a new reality that we all have to deal with.

Therefore, Vandrehallen wants BKF to address what happens when the water arrives and what it looks like in a given case. In order for the framework for the artists not to be too limited, the exhibition should be an artistic study of what the relationship between people, nature and water looks like in a world under transformation. Through a sensory exhibition, Vandrehallen wants to explore the challenges and opportunities that arise when water shapes our future - also in its absence.

The exhibition should focus on a future where we have to navigate rising water masses - from above, from the sea and from underground or what happens when we do not get the water we expect to get.

LOTTE KJØLLER TELLS

I once met a black artist who traveled around the world creating installations out of string, plastic, and water. He said that he chose these three things specifically because they were easy to find all over the world. He said that many places have plenty or enough water, but where he had grown up, there was so little water that it was muddy and toxic, so they had to drink anything but water.

Water, in appropriate amounts, is life-giving and an absolutely indispensable necessity. 60% of a human being is made of water. If there is too little water, we become thirsty, nature dries up, and animals, plants, and humans die. Therefore, water means both food and drink and life. All living things need these things to live and will die if water were not present. Too much water, on the other hand, brings natural disasters where land areas are flooded and plants, animals, and humans drown in the vast amounts of water that sweep over them. So water is like fire: a good servant but a dangerous master.

I once met some people from California. They said that Denmark was blessed with clean drinking water and rain that made everything grow and become our food. They said that, in their country, large areas were barren due to a lack of water. In Denmark, everything is green and lush, and we do not lack food and drink because of water.

Kind regards Visual artist Lotte Kjøller

LOTTE KJØLLER FORTÆLLER

Jeg mødte engang en sort kunstner der rejste verden rundt og lavede installationer af snor, plast og vand. Han sagde at han valgte netop disse 3 ting fordi de var lette at få fat på i hele verden. Han sagde at mange steder har meget eller nok vand, men der hvor han var vokset op var der så lidt vand at det var mudder og giftigt så de måtte drikke alt muligt andet end vand.

Vand er i tilpasse mængder livsgivende og en helt uundværlig livsnødvendighed. 60% af et menneske er lavet af vand. Hvis der er for lidt vand tørster vi, naturen udtørrer og dyr, planter og mennesker dør. Så vand betyder derfor både mad og drikke og liv. Alt levende behøver disse ting for at leve og vil dø hvis Vand ikke var her. For meget vand giver derimod naturkatastofer hvor landområder oversvømmes og planter, dyr og mennesker drukner i de store vandmasser der bare skyller ind over dem. Så vand er ligesom ild en god tjener men en farlig herre.

Jeg mødte engang nogle folk fra Californien. De sagde at Danmark var velsignet. Velsignet med rent vand til at drikke og regn der fik alting til at gro og blive til vores mad. De sagde at hos dem var store områder øde på grund af mangel på vand. I Danmark er alting grønt og frodigt og vi mangler ikke mad og drikke på grund af vand.
