In the coming period, five artists with very personal expressions, all strongly represented on the contemporary art scene, will be exhibiting in a group show at Galleri Faurschou.

Common for the five artists is their work in a variation of mediums: installation, painting, drawing, sculpture, photo, video etc. In spite of very different artistic expressions, it is all artists, whom in their work, critically reflect upon their age and surroundings. Artists that in differing ways thematise the existence, the human and its being, the body and questions about identity.

WIM DELVOYE has in numerous works focused on the human body-latest example been the grandiose machine Cloaca exhibited at the New Museum in New York. With assistance from several biologists and engineers, Cloaca was constructed to deliver, at specific times, what we all deliver despite race, sex and religious beliefs. In order to produce the waste product, food from neighbouring restaurants entered the machine. With the works included in this exhibition, Wim Delvoye is once again exploring this very basic, bodily function of the human being.

CHRISTIAN LEMMERZ continues to challenge our expectations to marble carving with a newly completed sculpture, depicting Jesus son. The sculpture is thought of as a reflection upon our culture, religious tradition and history. Additionally, Lemmerz is represented with drawing on canvas.

MICHAEL KVIUM is currently working on a series of forest-and ocean motives. His characteristic human figures, now older, fatter and increasingly thin haired, have moved into the landscape. It is far from a naturalistic landscape depicted - it is rather a symbolic or existential landscape. A flooded wilderness, in which the only fixed points are the trees and the human being.

BJARNE MELGAARD known as an expressive painter and installation artist will exhibit new paintings. The works exhibited emphasise his sense of colour as well as his excellent painting technique.

MARC QUINN has thoroughly explored his own body as theme of his works, but has in recent years turned towards the surrounding world as the point of reference in his work. Present at the exhibition is one of his "surrealistic" landscapes - a staged baroque composition of an array of flowers, fruits and vegetables with strong erotic connotations.
