Clearance

Year:

Clearance is about the intertwined relationship between producing personal style, the earth we walk and our economic landscape.Through 3 large-scale textiles hangings, Emilie Bausager explores connected and unconnected incidents in the histories of landownership, landscape painting, hiking, tourism, fashion, and how we view, portray and represent such matters.

The artist wishes to thank Benjamin Savi, Fraser Anderson, and Paul Gilmartin

The exhibition is generously supported by the Danish arts foundation
