Fables
19/06/1997 - 24/08/1997
The course of time, the history of man, truth, free fantasy and seriousness are all elements linked to the fable. The history of this genre is stretching from the ancient indian, greek and roman literature, through La Fontaine's Fables, up to our days' comics and cartoons. With the actions of ingenious, humanlike creatures as starting point, the fable creates its own universe of love, longing, wisdom and slyness. Small short stories, which awaken thoughtfullness in anyone listening to. Stories which, despite their roots in imagination and abstradtion, can easily be recognized and used in the "real world".
Fables don't need to consist of words, but may very well be the pictures, colours and forms, arising from the imagination's free rein. At the Museum of Contemporary Art Pontus Kjerrman and Anne Kampmann are exhibiting respectively sculptures and paintings, based on their own personal view of the fable.
