WHAT IS A STEM CELL? 🧬

Step into the exhibition and explore this question through a collaborative animation - bringing together animators, exhibition designers, curators, and stem cell scientists. The starting point was an image of a cell as a ball of clay – malleable but still resistant; full of potential but demanding careful handling.

A lucky coin, a magic stone, a four-leaf clover. Across time and cultures, people have carried amulets close to their bodies as protection against illness and other dangers. These small objects were believed to hold a special power, providing hope in moments of vulnerability. Votive offerings, a kind of religious offering, were given as expressions of gratitude, prayer, or a wish for protection from the deity to whom they were offered. In periods when very few diseases could be cured, amulets served as ‘technologies of hope’, and the boundaries between faith, medicine, and religion were more fluid than they are today.

Learn much more about these amulets and how their role as a source of hope has been taken over by modern medicine in our current exhibition.

LIQUID BODIES
27. MAR 2026 — 12. AUG 2026

For the exhibition Jens Settergren has created two iconic mosaic crosses. The shape echoes the illuminated signs often seen outside pharmacies and which can be seen as a symbol of modern medicine. One cross even glows with the traditional bright green. The other depicts a praying skeleton, inspired by an image found in the famous Baroque church Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome. Here, two mosaic skeletons in purgatory are depicted on the floor: one symbolizing hope, the other despair. Settergren has taken the ‘skeleton of hope’ and embedded it in his mosaic. Together, the two mosaics explore the hopes surrounding stem cell research: where religion once held our hopes for salvation and eternal life, perhaps today it is medical science that plays that role.

If you didn’t get the chance to see the beautiful work by Zishi Han and Wei Yang at Politikens Forhal in Copenhagen last year, you now have the opportunity to experience a new edition of their exhibition Loach Water at Four Boxes Gallery in Skive at Krabbesholm Højskole.

The first edition of Loach Water was commissioned by Politikens Forhal in 2025 in collaboration with Charlottenborg Fonden and co-curated by Klara Li. The work Hairpin Beneath: The Stone of Three Lives was commissioned by SculptureCenter, New York, in 2025. Loach Water is supported by The Danish Arts Foundation and The Danish Art Workshop.

Loach Water at Four Boxes Gallery is part of the exhibition series unboxing, curated by Rebekka Laugesen.

How does crisis enter the body?

Taking crises as an unavoidable part of everyday life, Chung investigates how insecurity manifests itself through small, often overlooked actions - from hesitant movements to the pause in front of an automatic door. In Dead End at Forhallen she stages the symbols we turn to for comfort and reassurance, but which may no longer be sufficient.

“Down the corridor in Forhallen, you’ll find an arrangement of fake glass bottles filled with fake liquor, but with real worms inside. From the brands of today’s deities: Clooney, Jenner, Jordan. Not water turned into wine, but something stronger this time - almost, at least.”

On the windows of Forhallen, traces of our subconscious actions are made visible. Fingerprints scattered across the bomb-proof glass reveal the marks we leave behind every day - marks we usually don’t notice.

These most private traces sit at the border between two kinds of public space: the world outside, and the exhibition space within JP/ Politiken Media Group - a high tower of information, exposed for all to see.

“In transparent epoxy, it lays on the ground as a container of ’residues’, a carrier of liquids, debris that becomes traces of life. In one crucifix, distilled water fills the words Hyper Real. In another, ink – not a leftover exactly but a spillage of the written word - melted with chemical solvent off of walls.”
