The Copenhagen Declaration: Jens Haaning / Santiago Sierra at Faurschou Foundation Faurschou Foundation is pleased to present The Copenhagen Declaration by the artists Jens Haaning and Santiago Sierra. The show has been created specifically for Faurschou Foundation’s exhibition premises at the Copenhagen North Harbour. The two Danish curators Kim Kilde and Marie Thams initiated the collaboration between the two internationally recognized artists and Faurschou Foundation. The exhibition originates in the wish to link two powerful artistic practices that have both created striking, socially critical contemporary art. This is the first time the two artists have collaborated on a shared work as well as the first time Santiago Sierra exhibits in Denmark. The Copenhagen Declaration is one large installation that fills the whole of Faurschou Foundation’s exhibition space. As with Haaning’s and Sierra’s other works, this is a work that takes its point of departure in socioeconomic and political matters. The work operates in the field between the ceremonial, formal declaration and the open statement of this declaration, which is dependent on context and the cultural background of the viewer. The artists have no wish for a direct communication or interpretation of this work. e-flux/announcements/the-copenhagen-declaration/
