from the mountains to the valleys, from the deserts to the seas: journeys of historical uncertaintyCAMP is proud to present a solo exhibition by one of Vietnam’s most respected artists, Tiffany Chung. The exhibition from the mountains to the valleys, from the deserts to the seas: journeys of historical uncertainty presents a series of recent and new works made especially for CAMP, which explore different aspects of the politics of displacement and flight.
With a glass installation of mass migrating animals, a lightbox installation about the destructive powers of war, and a new series of cartographic drawings mapping areas of conflict and disaster, internally displaced persons, and migration routes, Chung unpacks the many causes and effects of displacement and helps us understand the current refugee crisis. This is the first time that Chung, who is currently featured in the Venice Biennale and has refugee experience herself, is showing her work in Denmark.
The exhibition is accompanied by a free educational booklet (available as download from the website from Sept. 25), weekly guided tours on Saturdays from 3–4 pm by a team of guides from the Trampoline House community, and on November 6, 4–6 pm, a debate meeting on how in the absence of appropriate government and EU action, civil society groups around Europe are stepping in to handle the current refugee crisis.
A warm welcome to the opening party on Friday, September 25, 5–8 pm!
