Past, present and possible futures converge in a darkly expressive exhibition by Palestinian-Danish artist Larissa Sansour at Amos Rex. Sansour’s video works and installations interweave contemporary political issues with imagined realities, using narrative methods of science fiction, documentary and opera. The artist’s evocative, carefully refined works expand into universal studies of grief, memory and inherited trauma.  

The art collection of Sigurd Frosterus (1876–1956) can be viewed as a declaration of love for the Colourism that emerged in Europe in the first half of the 20th century. Among wellknown names are artists like Magnus Enckell, Alfred Wilhelm Finch, Pierre Bonnard, Paul Signac, Thèo van Rysselberghe, Henri Edmond Cross, Maximilien Luce and Maurice Vlaminck.

What does a desirable future feel like: soft or spikey, shiny or crinkly? And what does an undesirable future look like – what colour or shape is it? How many different futures can we imagine?

Amos Rex, together with the Children and Youth Foundation, has created the Future School art workshop, where you can freely explore what the future looks or feels like.
