Autumn is the in-between of time. Not quite an ending, not quite a beginning, but a breath between two verses. Days when the light slowly withdraws, while the colours grow sharper, almost burning in their farewell. The air is clear and holds both stillness and expectation. In this field of tension, the world seems to pause – and yet continue – where everything that falls carries a promise, and everything that is gathered holds seeds for what is to come.
In Danish, it is called efterår – a time after, when nature lets go, but in its retreat opens space for growth and remembrance. In Norwegian, it is called høst – a time to gather, preserve, and prepare. Between the words, a space emerges where dissolution and abundance, loss and ripening can exist side by side. Here, we step into nature’s cycle and feel our own vulnerability mirrored in its movement.
The artists in this exhibition work within this in-between. They explore the life cycles of materials—their capacity to change and be changed, to capture the ephemeral, and to reveal new meanings. Nature appears not as a backdrop, but as an active participant – as raw material, memory, and a resonance chamber. In the works, the relationship between the transitory and the enduring is negotiated, between body and landscape, between moment and memory.
The exhibition’s rich tapestry of works—from photography to ceramic and glass reliefs, from intricate weavings to a sculpted ceramic tree, from paper in deliberate decay to pigment-painted concrete, horsehair, and textiles—lets the rhythm of autumn seep into every form, color, and texture. Together, they evoke a gentle meditation on how we are entwined with the world we seek to understand, interpret, and transform. Shared among them is the recognition that nature does not merely surround us, but flows through us and shapes us. It is both a source of vulnerability and possibility, both necessity and inspiration. Autumn reminds us that change is inevitable – and that art, in this transitional space, can open a room for reflection, perception, and new beginnings.
