In the organizer's words:

Artist talk with Kirsten Justesen and Ingo Clauß

Kirsten Justesen is part of the Danish avant-garde of the 1960s and works in a wide range of media - from sculpture and photography to installation and performance. In conversation with curator Ingo Clauß, she presents her ongoing work with ice, known as the Meltingtime series, which she has been developing since the 1980s. Her works explore ice as a sculptural, sensual and ephemeral material. The melting of ice becomes a metaphor for temporal processes, perception and transformation. The series is both a poetic and precise exploration of the nature of time.

About Kirsten Justesen: Kirsten Justesen (*1943) was trained in classical sculpture, but developed a wide-ranging artistic practice early on in her career. She has been using her own body as a material since 1968 and is widely regarded as a pioneer of body art. Her early works focus primarily on a feminist aesthetic that questions normative representations of women and notions of gender. Her later work is more philosophical and existential, exploring the relationship between the body, space and language. Justesen's art is characterized by a conceptual exploration of sculpture, the boundaries of which she constantly re-explores in a variety of forms - with a particular focus on time, process and action.
