Eternal Weathering by Anna Weber Henriksen and Luise Noora Sejersen an exhibition about the earth’s materials, slow transformations and the temporalities that extend beyond humans.

The artists take as their starting point materials from the area around Dybbølsgade in Vesterbro – soil, plants, minerals and traces from the city’s surfaces. With new works in graphics, installation, painting and handmade paper, weathering is examined as both a geological process and a cultural representation: how materials slowly change, and how our understanding of the valuable and the “sacred” can be in flux in a time marked by ecological crises and new relationships between humans, the environment and other species.

Anna Weber Henriksen works with site-based graphics, where the tools of art are brought into direct contact with the landscape and urban space. In her practice, graphic materials function as recording surfaces, where soil, stone, salt and other traces from the surroundings leave their imprints. For Eternal Weathering, she works in Dybbølsgade with what she calls ”digging graphics”. Copper plates are brought into physical contact with asphalt, soil, sand and salt from the street, so that the chemistry of the place gradually takes shape in the metal through corrosion and imprints. The materials are also exposed to natural processes, where oxidation and decomposition continue over time.

The new works by Luise Noora Sejersen draw on the tradition of icon painting and incorporate local plants into contemporary icons, painted with tempera and earth pigments. These are plants that were previously considered weeds, but which are now part of a growing understanding of urban biodiversity. The mineral pigments have historically helped give Orthodox icons their remarkable durability, and their geological temporality contrasts with the more volatile colors that are applied on top. At the same time, Noora Sejersen has made paper from nettles as a starting point for new devotional images.

The exhibition is staged in collaboration with Frederikke Krogh, with a focus on spatial dramaturgy and lighting. The works form a movement through the exhibition - from Weber Henriksen’s process-oriented installations with the slow decomposition of materials to Noora Sejersen’s symbolic transformations of the meaning of plants and the earth. Together they point to slow processes and temporalities that continue long after us.

Med afsæt i materialer fra området omkring Dybbølsgade på Vesterbro - jord, planter, mineraler og spor fra byens overflader – kredser udstillingen Eternal Weathering af Anna Weber Henriksen og Luise Noora Sejersen om materialers langsomme transformationer og om de tidsligheder, der rækker langt ud over menneskets egen.

Udstillingen samler nye værker i grafik, installation, maleri og plantebaseret papir. Gennem forskellige materialebaserede processer undersøger kunstnerne, hvordan omgivelsernes kemi, organismer og mineraler indgår i kontinuerlige kredsløb af nedbrydning, forandring og forædling. Samtidig peger værkerne på, hvordan vores forestillinger om det værdifulde og det “hellige” kan være i bevægelse i en tid præget af økologiske kriser og nye relationer mellem mennesker, miljø og andre arter.

Anna Weber Henriksen arbejder med stedsforankret grafik, hvor kunstens redskaber bringes i direkte kontakt med landskab og byrum. I hendes praksis fungerer grafiske materialer som registrerende overflader, hvor jord, sten, salt og andre spor fra omgivelserne sætter aftryk. Til Eternal Weathering arbejder hun i Dybbølsgade med det, hun betegner som grave-grafik. Kobberplader bringes i fysisk kontakt med asfalt, jord, sand og salt fra gaderummet, så stedets kemi gradvist tegner sig i metallet gennem korrosion og aftryk. Materialerne udsættes samtidig for naturlige processer, hvor oxidation og nedbrydning fortsætter over tid.

Luise Noora Sejersens nye værker tager udgangspunkt i ikonmaleriets tradition og inddrager lokale, hårdføre planter i nutidige ikoner, malet med tempera og jordpigmenter. Det er planter, der tidligere blev betragtet som ukrudt, men som i dag indgår i en spirende forståelse af urban biodiversitet. De mineralske pigmenter har historisk været med til at give ortodokse ikoner deres bemærkelsesværdige holdbarhed, og deres geologiske tidslighed står i kontrast til de mere flygtige farver, der lægges ovenpå. Samtidig har Noora Sejersen fremstillet papir af brændenælder som et udgangspunkt for nye andagtsbilleder.

Udstillingen er iscenesat i samarbejde med Frederikke Krogh, med fokus på rumlig dramaturgi og lyssætning. Værkerne danner en bevægelse gennem udstillingen - fra Weber Henriksens procesorienterede installationer med materialernes langsomme nedbrydning til Noora Sejersens symbolske transformationer af planters og jordens betydning. Tilsammen peger de på langsomme processer og tidsligheder, der fortsætter længe efter os.
