JURY 2021

A Kassen consists of Christian Bretton-Meyer, Morten Steen Hebsgaard, Søren Petersen and Tommy Petersen – who over the last 15 years of collaboration have developed a conceptual site-specific practice with a special openness to the complexities associated with any situation in which works of art are included – socially, politically, economically, materially and spatially. They work investigatively with a reflected approach to the production methods of art and their role as artists. The tone of their works is subtle and playful, and they often use an element of surprise to create the bit of wonder needed to initiate a series of questions that can reflect the work's idea and open up the poetic potential of everyday life.

Iben Høj is a trained textile designer from Brighton University and has for a number of years created clothing that merges the fine-meshed poetry of knitting with the Scandinavian's functional approach to form and use. For the past eight years, Iben Høj has worked spatially and artistically with his three-dimensional knitwear and stretched out his textile features in both less staged formats and gigantic space installations that seem immensely delicate and endearingly strong at the same time.
