Join us as visual artist Anette Harboe Flensburg and literary scholar Lilian Munk Rösing engage in conversation about Flensburg’s current exhibition at Bakkehuset in Frederiksberg. A conversation about perception and materiality – and about stones. 
The mutual interest between the two is palpable. Lilian Munk Rösing, associate professor at the University of Copenhagen, has recently published the book “Friedrichs farver – Om det sanselige og materielle i Caspar David Friedrichs malerier” [‘Friedrich’s Colours: On the Sensory and Material in Caspar David Friedrich’s Paintings’], and is currently researching stones as a recurrent material and motif in the visual arts.
Bakkehuset’s new special exhibition Stones – Skeleton – Silhouette serves as a sort of laboratory, where colours and materiality are examined alongside threads of memory and sensory experiences.
Simultaneously, a sensitive dialogue unfolds between Anette Harboe Flensburg’s installations and Bakkehuset’s core narratives from the time when the Enlightment ideals of reason coexisted with the Romantic philosophy of nature. Back then, for example, the portrait silhouette was seen as a path to something essential, and art and science walked hand in hand.
The talk takes place in the exhibition and can thus not be seen in its entirety on this day.
