About the exhibition

“Beyond” is the first exhibition in Charlotte Fogh Gallery’s new premises on Aaboulevarden in Aarhus. The exhibition can currently be seen through the windows from the street.

The exhibition marks the gallery’s 15th anniversary and is a group exhibition with completely new works by both new and established artists who have followed the gallery until today.

The exhibition shows a great variety of paintings, sculptures, video art, drawings and mixed media entirely in the spirit that has characterized the gallery since its opening in 2006.

The works will be continuously rotated during the exhibition period, so that new works of art will be presented in the gallery’s front room, which you will be able to follow from street level.

We look forward to opening the gallery again, but until then please stop by the gallery and explore the exhibition through the windows.

Gyldendal publishers in Copenhagen commissioned me to do a drawing on the occassion of their 250th anniversary. The drawing was reproduced as a Fine Art Print for 300 employees.

The room I’ve depicted is the famed ante-chamber, where you’d imagine the young authors waiting, sweat in their hands, to meet their editor.

Press release (in Danish only):

Udstillingen Ocean of Time er en rejse gennem tid og rum. Billedkunstneren Morten Schelde (f. 1972) tegner sig – bogstavelig talt og i overført betydning – ind i Faaborg Museums historiske udstillingslokaler i Konservesgårdens lejlighed.

Virkeligheden set gennem tegningens prisme

Tegnekunsten har over de sidste 150 år rykket sig fra primært at være et skitsemateriale til at være et kunstnerisk felt med selvstændige og betydningsfulde kunstværker. Morten Schelde er med sin kunstneriske praksis en fremtrædende og væsentlig repræsentant for tegningen som medie og teknik i dag. Med udstillingen Ocean of Time præsenterer han helt nye værker.

Morten Scheldes motivkreds bevæger sig inden for det velkendte med scener af hjemlige omgivelser og interiørbilleder med forlæg i fotografiske motiver. I Scheldes tegninger tilføjes de genkendelige og intime hverdagsscenarier et uvirkeligt lag, der trækker tråde til kunsthistorien, litteratur, musik, film og teater. Motiverne udspringer af virkelighedsudsnit, der iscenesættes: Det konkrete interiør møder drømmen. Gennem tegningen forskyder Schelde virkeligheden og forbinder den med en indre forestillingsverden, der inviterer os, som beskuere, til at udforske den velkendte virkelighed på ny.

Oceaner af streger

Morten Schelde indtager med udstillingen Ocean of Time Faaborg Museums herskabslejlighed i Konservesgården. Lejligheden var museets stifter og mæcen Mads Rasmussens private hjem indtil ideen om Faaborg Museum opstod. Mads Rasmussen var konservesfabrikant, og med sin succesrige virksomhed finansierede han Faaborg Museum. Fra 1910 fungerede hans lejlighed som de første udstillingslokaler indtil museumsbygningen til Fynboernes kunst, tegnet af arkitekten Carl Petersen, bliver indviet i 1915. I udstillingen Ocean of Time går Morten Schelde i dialog med Faaborg Museum i en række nye værker, hvor samtid og fortid – virkelighed og drøm – forbindes gennem stregen.

Udstillingen er tilrettelagt og udført i samarbejde med kunstneren.

Om kunstneren

Morten Schelde (f. 1972) er uddannet ved Kunstakademiet i Odense og Det Kgl. Danske Kunstakademi i København (2001). Hans værker findes i flere museumssamlinger, heriblandt Statens Museum for Kunst, Arken og Louisiana. Sammen med ni andre danske samtidskunstnere har Morten Schelde udsmykket Kronprinsparrets bolig på Frederik VIII’s Palæ på Amalienborg (2010).

Morten Schelde er repræsenteret af Hans Alf Gallery i København.

Solo show in “The Locker Room”, new works at Charlotte Fogh Gallery, Århus, Denmark. Opening October 4, 16-19. 2019

04/10 2019 – 23/11 2019

Charlotte Fogh Gallery is pleased to present new works by Morten Schelde in the gallery’s Locker Room. The exhibition draws together some of Schelde’s most characteristic motifs and presents drawings of architecture, interiors and landscapes in the monochrome colors that characterize Schelde’s works.

Schelde says the following on his works: “The drawings are a way of feeling my own presence in the world. I draw therefore I am. Sometimes it’s heavy like a Bergman drama, other times the images feel like friendly postcards to the world.

I have produced a series of six stamps for the Danish postal service.
The title is “Trying to touch the Sun”.
To be released on September 19, 2019, at the Enigma Museum of Communication, further info to follow.
