Louise Sparre
Inner Landscapes
The exhibition is open Monday to Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM from December 9, 2024 – February 27, 2025.
The exhibition Inner Landscapes offers the viewer a journey into the human body and a contemplation of the state of the body and humanity as a reflection of the state of the Earth.
In the exhibition Inner Landscapes, Sparre presents new works that juxtapose corporeality with external circumstances such as infrastructure, conflicts, and escalating climate change. For example, Condition; a series of textile works in red-brown shades that also reflect the narrow, high-ceilinged exhibition space of the Mellemrummet. They hover somewhere between an inflammatory state and natural fire, flowing lava, or explosions. The sculptural veins Energy, made of copper, draw parallels between our technological infrastructure, which is largely powered by copper, and our bodily circulatory system that transports oxygen, hormones, and energy throughout the body. Thus, Sparre reflects on reflections and on our body as a filter or membrane.
Sparre's practice is centered around the corporeal and perception, with a scientific basis. She often works with states, both sensory, human, and global conditions, and fuses them into hybrids. In her works, she expresses herself through sculptural objects and textiles, using a tactile and stimulating form language. She works processually and experiments with many different materials, both organic and synthetic. Most of her works balance between the fragile and the violent, something internal and something external, micro and macro, and the delicate and the raw.
