Free entry

Picture the Sky spans the ground floor of Kunsthal Aarhus and features three large-scale installations, Helios, Particles & Planets and Lunar, created especially for this exhibition. In a spatial narrative, the works make surprising connections between sky and earth, historical and scientific matter, heroes and collectives, craft and technology, photographic and alchemical speculations.
