Ladies en Suite is an exhibition that
challenges usual/ordinary ideas about interior design, trends,
ornamentation, and set design. The exhibition takes point of
reference in the architecture of RACA, with its characteristic
window that stretches out on the footpath.
Maiken Bent works among other things with sculptural interior
design that with its own quirky way is trying to miss the target.
For this exhibition, Ladies en Suite, the standard lamp is the
spontaneous basis for the work of Maiken Bent, Delight Deluxe.
Proportional the lamp is too big to work as a normal interior
design object and this fact is pointing at its status as a sculpture.
Each light source on the sculpture are encircled by a lamp shade,
that gets its inspiration from different periods, materials
and various styles.
Nanna Starck relates with her installation, Kulisse, to conception
from ornamentation and drapery to the tension between framing
and loss of contents.The circumstance about the presentation
of the work and all that is staged is the turning point for
Nanna Starck. For the exhibition she relates herself specific
to the window of RACA. Here she imitates set design, and with
the cut and painted wooden plates the work, Kulisse, creates
a frame to the view of Delight Deluxe. From the inside, the
work frames the reality.
– Now the stage is set!
