Virginia Lee Montgomery, Head Stone II, 2020, memory foam and stone & Water Witching, 2018, HD video.
This autumn’s major exhibition at Kunsthal Charlottenborg focuses on the figure of the witch and the witchcraft trials in the Nordic region from the 16th-18th century. Through the lens of contemporary art, the exhibition examines this under-explored history of violence and encourages reflection on the politics of memory and social persecution in the present.
