STICKS ON FIRE, HANDS IN BLOOM
by Olivia Rode Hvass
10th – 26th of November, 2023
at 00.00
8 Seoungbuk-ro 2-gil, Seoul, South Korea
Curated by Shin Sumin and Kim Min

Press Release
Sticks on Fire, Hands in Bloom is a solo exhibition / installation by Olivia Rode Hvass consisting of local flora collected in and around the city of Seoul installed with multiple works, drawings, sculpture and the digitally woven tapestry series De varme hænder (Hot hands !), (2023) – a tale of cross-historical rebellion and rituals towards environmental and social change, where stick figures dance in a witchy circle around a burning car, and where mystical figures grow out of the ashes and remains of previous struggles.Through the usage of myths and fairytales, Hvass examines the notion of burning it all to the ground.
In 00.00 Hvass lingers on the moment after the storm. Where embers still glow in the grass, and mold begins to spread. What sprouts from the ashes of the present?

Olivia Rode Hvass (b.1995, DK) (she/her, they/them) is a Copenhagen based artist with a BA from the Jutland Academy of Fine Arts (2021) and a masterclass in TC2 weaving with Professor Corrie van Eijk-Doktor, Drachten NL. Hvass’ works in a crossfield between textile, drawing, installation and sculptural work, with craftsmanship and storytelling as a red thread.

Hvass’ work is concerned with myth and legend bleeding into the hyperreal fabric of modern human society, curious about the complex networks of thousands of years of storytelling and tradition looming just under the asphalt of the ever-growing cities of today.
Their work has an underlying humor which invites the viewer inside.

The exhibition at 00.00 will be Hvass’ international debut. Hvass has previously exhibited at various Danish platforms and institutions such as Kunsthal Aarhus, Kunsthal 6100, Kunsthal NORD, Sydhavn Station, Ladder Space, and Archway Nightlands Connector. In 2024 Hvass will exhibit at Skovgaard Museet (DK), Tranen (DK) and Rønnebæksholm (DK). In 2023 Hvass received the Danish Arts Foundation’s work grant.

About the work:
For this exhibition Olivia Rode Hvass is working with the notion of charachter-design and fantasy through a sculptural output.
She has created a four footed table-creature with human looking feet and withered flowers between it’s toes. On top of it a drawing of a displeased jester.
Through the context of the exhibition, Rode Hvass is looking into nuances of classical characters in fairy tales, and the idea that the treasures might not solve (y)our problems.

The piece was made for the theme-specific group exhibition SKATTEJAGT (in English: “Treasure Hunting”). An exhibition about fiction, fairy tales and treasures, presenting following artists:
Sofie Burgaard, Olivia Rode Hvass, Truls Mårtenssen, Jone Tou, Sigrid Lerche, Mette Bjørndal, Nicolai Risbjerg, and Switch Collective aka. Frida Retz & Didde Borup Larsen.
The exhibition’s poster frieze is made by Noah Holtegaard and the billboard is made by Tanja Silvestrini.

Exhibition Between grains of sand(salt) at Gas9 at Gasværksvej 9, Copenhagen V
Open June 9th – July 8th 2023

Press (Written by curator Nanna Saplana)
‘Between grains of sand(salt)’ by artists Samara Sallam & Kate Sterchi, Olivia Rode Hvass, Ihsan Saad Ihsan Tahir, Ida Raselli, Hannah Amalie Nielsen, and Abul Hisham.

In the group exhibition Between grains of sand(salt), gas9gallery presents works by seven young contemporary Danish and international artists whose works and multiple voices intertwine as a collective, caring and complex landscape engaging with contemporary crisis – worldly or otherwise. Some are whispering with a quiet sensibility, others are shouting, demanding our attention. Together the works form a pattern of personal, political stories that are non-linear and use fictions in their approach.

Through various media; video, digital weaving, painting, sculpture and ceramics, the invited artists ask us to engage deeper and from multiple angles into stories that reach across time and spaces with new agents and tales. At first glance, the exhibition might resemble dream imagery, fables, or elements from far away spaces, but if you look closer it begins to take form as the world already known. Since ancient times, storytellers have engaged with disjointed timelines, flashbacks, memories, dreams, forcastings, and fantastic elements, in their attempt to capture the multiplicity of humanity, the material world and beyond. Such practices date back to Indian epics, e.g. the Mahabharata, Homer’s Iliad, Arabian night tales, and in contemporary times, it is most known from science fiction. In the last decades, this notion of the imaginary as world-building, has further gained credibility within the sciences as a means to counter western knowledge production and make room for new, complex narratives.

With this in mind, the exhibition Between grains of sand(salt) presents artists who engage with digging out stories that disappear between the noise, and who look closely at the narratives we are presented with, and from where and whom we listen. We invite you to do the same.

Sketch for a Fountain – Kunsthal 6100 (Comissioned work)

Text made for the drawing / Work text

I enjoy the drama of ancient spitting fountains – mythical creatures almost vomiting water onto the coins people wishfully throw into the dephts of the basin. Water often being seen as some magical force of transformation. A place for wishes to come true.
Here, the water being spewed through holes in chests.
With torrents replacing their hearts.
I imagine the fountain being made in Italian marble, extremely well-polished, having the smoothest butts, or maybe in copper that slowly oxidizes.
Preferably standing in the middle of a beautiful forest or maybe in some parking lot building.

The title “De varme hænder (Hot hands!)” – in English, “The warm hands (Hot hands!)” – refers to the media coverage of the striking nurses, where the nickname “The warm hands” was widely used by politicians, journalists, media personas etc. to describe them.

The warm hands are working hands.
The hands of physical work.
The supporting hands,
the caring hands,
the underpaid hands.

The hands have found each other.
They have become so warm now.
They ignite.

In Captivity
But No Longer Dead
Solo Show at Ladder Space, Halmtorvet 11D, Copenhagen

In Captivity but No Longer Dead
2022

In Ladder Space – a 19th century horse stable in the meatpacking district, which is now housing exhibitions of contemporary art – you’ll find the exhibition In Captivity But No Longer Dead – by Olivia Rode Hvass.

In the exhibition you will experience a site specific installation taking us back to the time where the horses took residence in the buildings. A universe of broken hearts, scarecrows and tapestries depicting horses in captivity and their memories of violence and grief.

The installation features works from her series of digitally woven tapestries My Heart Breaks Every Day… …Until I Run Away. They are inspired by the mysterious medieval fantasies of the Hunt of the Unicorn (La Chasse à la licorne), dating back to 1495-1505, originally depicting French noble hunters capturing an exotic unicorn. The original story celebrates the conquest of the “exotic”/the virgin by the hunter/the man. In Olivia Rode Hvass’ series, the horse is the main character, and here the escape from the violent systems and relationships end up with the horses running free.

In Ladder Space we find ourselves lingering in a scenery of sorrow. A longing for change.

The production of the work is supported by Statens Kunstfond and Dansk Tennisfond.

JEG FINDER SELV UD

4. JUNI – 16. JULI 2022
ANNA WALTHER & OLIVIA RODE HVASS

“Jeg finder selv ud” tematiserer grænsesætning, problematiske systemer og at beslutningen om at forlade situationen nogle gange er den bedste – og eneste – løsning.

Udstillingen kombinerer værker af Anna Walther og Olivia Rode Hvass i en samlet fortælling. Hovedelementerne er en håndtaske på størrelse med en lille bil, skabt af Anna Walther, og en digitalt vævet serie af billedtæpper skabt af Olivia Rode Hvass.

Anna Walthers taskeskulptur står som metafor for det, vi bærer med os af bagage. Håndtasken er historisk set, et symbol på kvinders evne til at bevæge sig frit, uafhængigt af akkompagnement. Håndtasken er stadig et klasse- og statussymbol med stor signalværdi. Gennem sine værker, spørger Anna Walther, ind til de forventninger vi har til kvinders fremtoning i nutidens samfund. Budskabet fra kunstneren er: Grib håndtasken og løb! løb væk fra alle de negative formaninger om, hvad der er rigtigt og forkert.

Olivia Rode Hvass’ serie af digitalt vævede gobeliner, fuldendes i en stedsspecifik totalinstallation, i Kunsthal Nords første rum. Gobelinerne er inspireret af de mystiske middelalderlige fantasier over Enhjørningejagten (La Chasse à la licorne), en serie af gobeliner dateret til 1495-1505, der oprindeligt fremstiller franske, adelige jægere, der fanger en eksotisk enhjørning. Historien fejrer kapringen af det eksotiske/jomfruen, af jægeren/manden. I Olivia Rode Hvass’ serie er hesten hovedpersonen, og her vises flugten fra de usunde systemer og relationer, der ender med at hestene løber frit og lykkeligt. Det er en værkserie, der kommunikerer et håb for en fremtid, der gør op med samfundsgivne roller, kønsstereotyper og strukturel undertrykkelse.

Olivia Rode Hvass er billedkunstner uddannet med en BA fra Det Jyske Kunstakademi i 2021 og masterclass med stort legat i TC2-vævning med professor Corrie van Eijk-Doktor, Drachten NL. Rode Hvass arbejder i et skulpturelt krydsfelt mellem tekstil og tegning. I de seneste år har hun udvidet sin metier til gobeliner, hvor hun kombinerer sin interesse for tegneserie- og skitsetegning med kunsthåndværk i digital vævning. Hendes værk udspiller sig ud fra en interesse for identitetsopbygning i forhold til de idoler, følelser og udtryk, vi er opdraget med og opdraget af, og industrien og historien bag de tekstiler, som omgiver os, flettet sammen heri. Rode Hvass’ værkers subtile underliggende humor inviterer beskueren indenfor.

Anna Walther er billedkunstner uddannet fra Det Fynske Kunstakademi og Kungliga Konsthögskolan i Stockholm i 2017. Hendes praksis forbinder taktile assemblager med konceptuelle greb i en verden af skulpturer og malede kroppe. Kampen mod undertrykkelse er vævet ind i hendes dna, hvor hendes erfaringer om forholdet mellem krop og klasse behandles på lige fod med menneskets rovdrift på naturen.
Med inspiration i folkekunst og outsider art, trækker Walther på den særlige kraft, der ligger i kunst som medicin. Det ses i hendes praksis såvel som hendes organisatoriske arbejde, hvor hun kæmper for at skabe bedre muligheder, inklusion og større synergi mellem vækstlag og det etablerede. Et ønske om at tænde en ild af inspiration og forbindelse mellem beskuer og kunstværk.

Udstillingen er støttet af Aalborg Kommunes Billedkunstspulje, Statens Kunstfond, Dansk Tennis Fond og Ny Carlsbergfondet

Udstillingen er skabt i samarbejde med TextielLab, TextielMuseums professionelle værksted.

Lotte Løvholm skriver om udstillingen:
Olivia Rode Hvass behandler ungdomsårene i sine værker til udstillingen, og her danner landmetaforen ramme for fortællingen om at vokse op langt væk fra storbyen, hvor der er længere mellem husene, subkulturerne og queerkroppene. Installationen ”Hate the Game” (2022) består af et fugleskræmsel, knuste hjerter lavet af sækkelærred og stofrester samt psykedelisk trash graffiti på væggen med ordene ”Hate the game”. Udover at være et opgør med samfundets strukturer ”Dont hate the player, hate the game”, er graffitien en hyldest til det gamle miljø omkring Aalborg Havn fra Hvass’ ungdom, inden bydelen blev gentrificeret. Fugleskræmslet som figur går igen i værkserien ”My Heart Breaks Every Day… …Until I Run Away” (2022), og for Hvass repræsenterer den undertrykkelse og omsorg på samme tid. Måske er den et billede på velfærdstaten, der dels har som funktion at hjælpe sine borgere, men samtidigt kan begrænse og fastlåse dem.

”My Heart Breaks Every Day… …Until I Run Away” (2022) er baseret på den historiske gobelinserie The Hunt of the Unicorn (1495-1505) bestående af syv vægtæpper fra middelalderen. I Hvass’ version er fortællingen set fra enhjørningens perspektiv, og hun digter således videre og lader den frihedsberøvede enhjørning slippe fri af sine lænker. Værkerne er vævet på digitale væve og hænger fra rammer med forskellige ornamenter og detaljer. Et af de vævede tæpper grove flettede frynser af halm, et andet har har en ramme i brændt træ, der er formet som flammer, på et tredje tæppe er der tilføjet perler på tæppets grønne frynser. Det præcise vævetekniske, der er blevet til gennem digital tegning, kodning, prøver og tilpasninger af Hvass, blander sig med det naive og umiddelbare i ophænget, tegnestilen og de øvrige detajler.

Figurerne på de vævede tæpper minder om æstetikken i tegneserier, og hesten (en mere jordnær enhjørning) ligner noget fra my little pony-universet eller hestene fra hestebladet Wendy. Universet giver associationer til et tween-værelse med hesteplakater og tegninger af store flotte hesteøjne på væggene. Som med Walthers øjne på væggen, der søger efter ligesindede, har Hvass lavet denne vævede heste-helt til sig selv som yngre. ”Jagten på enhjørningen” er fortællingen om adelens jagt efter det uopnåelige, og Hvass’ værk giver anledning til at belyse problemerne med heltefortællingen som form. ”Until the Lion Has His Historian, the Hunter Will Always Be a Hero” er et afrikansk ordsprog, der har til formål at belyse, hvordan heltefortællinger er ensidede repræsentationer af virkeligheden. I Hvass’ version af ”Jagten på enhjørningen” ændres perspektivet og enhjørningen, der før var objekt i eventyret, bliver i stedet protagonist. Den finder selv ud.

Enhjørningen som kulturelt symbol er tvetydig, da den både repræsenterer det overnaturlige og nuttede. Kulturteoretiker Sianne Ngai beskriver nuttethed som forbrugersamfundets dominerende æstetik: ”Cuteness is also a commodity aesthetic, with close ties to the pleasures of domesticity and easy consumption” (“Our Aesthetic Categories: An Interview with Sianne Ngai”, Adam Jasper & Sianne Ngai: 2011). Når et subjekt eller objekt fremstilles nuttet, er det en måde at undgå en klar udtalelse om dets væsen. Det er en æstetisering af magtesløshed. Prototypen på nuttet, er legetøj eller det udstoppede tøjdyr. Enhjørningen er forbundet med queerkultur, da den er symbol på noget magisk og overjordisk, men der er samtidig noget paradoksalt ved denne sammenkobling, da enhjørningen er nuttet, og queer i sin essens er farlig: queer forstyrrer samfundets normer og fortællinger omkring identitet. Derfor kan sammenkædningen med den nuttede enhjørning også være normens konstruktion og måske et forsøg på at infantilisere det farlige og anderledes.

BURN THE WORLD is a tribute to the uprising of the weavers in Lyon in the late 19th century, who threw their wooden shoes into the industrial looms to disrupt production and sabotage the machines that took their jobs and livelihood.

Sabot (sabo’), in French, means wooden shoe and the action of the weavers throwing their shoes into the looms, is said to be the foundation of the term Sabotage as we know and use it today.

This has been the foundation of the sabotage series shown in Arcway this August, a series of tapestries picturing cartoony-heroines fighting back the systems who left them hungry on the street.

Made this denim outfit for the site specific exhibition HEY, THIEF! – curated and arranged by Kulturforeningen Mølhaugevej 6. All of the pieces shown at the exhibition were made specifically for the space: Kamille and Oscar’s farm in the middle of Jutland, DK (in Gjern).

Making the piece I thought a lot about clothes and identity – about who (and what) can wear what – about rights and outfits, about queernes and rhinestones – and about me missing it a lot in my upbringing, where I spent half of my childhood next to pig-farmers and where flashy and extravagant rarely were used as positive adjectives.

Now I had a chance of living my countryside fantasy, of giving it the sexy I was missing – and of finally playing dress-up with the machines.

The piece was exhibited amongst works by Kristina Fernos, Sally Dalgaard, Stine Stubdrup and Tobias Just.
