Kristine Tillge Lund
The understanding of clay and ceramics as a phenomenon is the predominant theme, Kristine Lund Tillge works with, - her artistic field of interest.
She makes a critical investigation of the material and its social historical context.
Through this subject she comes across very different areas and visual experiences.
For this exhibition she has, in a personal defined project, explored the ceramic material and its fragility viewed from various angles.
Ceramics is present and frequently used in everyday life. Depending on the context and affiliation of the material, it will provoke different emotions and associations. She has investigated these various conditions and reactions, and worked in ways of visualizing her research.
Furthermore she has included a balance in value and vulnerability within the hierarchy of the clay types.
Exhibition pieces:
1. Without title – grit construction, porcelain - hight: 2 meters
2. Without title – clay pigeon/clay target, earthenware 'Moler'

In a previous project 'Arcade', Kristine worked with prefabricated white tiles, that are seen in both public spaces and the very private places. She combined some of these situations from everyday life and created an installation of autonomous systems, which at once became detached from the usual form and simultaneously kept a clear reference to it.

A New Beginning - Mikael Jackson og Kristine Tillge Lund, Juried Artists Autumn Exhibition 2008. Photo: Rasmus Kjærboe Quote from article by Rasmus Kjærboe/KunstenNU: "Charred Donald Duck is the exhibition's best feature ... six black characters hanging on the wall who look like tiny charred mummies. They weathered or severely burned ceramic pieces, A New Beginning, by Michael Jackson and Kristine Tillge Lund turns out to be based on the figure of Donald Duck. It's different and original, both in the selection of material, design and references, and consequently distancing itself to the rest of the exhibition, which mostly looks like a reading of 'tendencies'.
