Exhibition

There is a series of incredible coincidences in the works of Margin Bigum and J.F. Willumsen. Themes, color tones and motifs sneak in and out of each other across time and place. These coincidences – which have in the exhibition been placed side by side – in themselves make a juxtaposition between the two artists interesting. However, it is the artistic process, seen from the perspective of the creative artist, that is the core of the exhibition. At the exhibition, the audience can experience paintings, lithographs, sculptures, photographs, drawings, and sketches by Willumsen and Bigum – from their very young years to their more mature productions. Also, Martin Bigum’s collection of songs and poems “Overmorgen” and piano improvisations will be part of the exhibition in dialogue with the exhibited works.

It is Bigum’s dazzling communication skills and personal approach to both his own works and the wider history of art that he brings into the exhibition. Based on his own and Willumsen’s artistic practice Bigum takes the audience through the often demanding and complex aspects of the artistic process. The exhibition is a journey though being a visual artist and it offers a look behind the scenes of both Willumsen and Bigum through Bigum’s present narrative.
