Far From Home II
About the exhibition
Focusing on the sense of home and the challenges of the individual in modern society, ARoS completes the trilogy that started with Out of the Darkness in 2014. The exhibition asks the fundamental question - where is home?
"Far From Home" is not about home in its physical sense, with a dwelling that is decorated according to taste, comfort and social identity. Instead, it is about the feeling of being at home and everything that might prevent us from being at home somewhere.
The selection and composition of works in Far from Home is created from the tension between home as a physical place and home as an interpersonal and mental living space.
The Trilogy
Far From Home is the final exhibition in a trilogy based on the museum's collection. The first exhibition, Out of the Darkness, 2014, thematised the structure and power of grand narratives and addressed the global challenges facing humanity. The second exhibition, No Man is an Island - The Satanic Verses, 2016, was set against the backdrop of the dramatic political, economic and cultural changes Europe was experiencing at the time. While the first exhibition had a global perspective, the next one was more geographically specific. Far From Home moves all the way home - right into the mental sphere of the individual. From the global world to the individual's experience of being at home in this world.
An end date has not yet been set for Far From Home.
The exhibition is an idea by Erlend G. Høyersten and curated in collaboration with curators Erik Nørager Pedersen and Jakob Vengberg Sevel.
