Erindringsspor (Traces of Memories)

19/06/2008

19 June – 31 Aug. 2008
A central part of the museum's collection consists of archive material that has been updated over the years. This collection of sketches, notebooks, photos and diaries provide a nuanced account of Carl-Henning Pedersen and Else Alfelt's lives, and, not least, their creative work. Both artists have diligently documented their thoughts, in both words and images, offering insight into the work processes both of them have gone through time and again, and the thoughts they have had while carrying out the many projects that have constantly been in progress. This archive material is often hidden away behind closed doors in the museum's storage space, but part of this abundant material will be presented in a series of exhibitions entitled Traces of Memories, thus making available new and interesting sources bearing on the life and work of Carl-Henning Pedersen and Else Alfelt.
