Ursula Nistrup Searching Through the Dark and the Light

In the beginning of December, as the last exhibition in 2025, Kunsthal Aarhus opens Searching Through the Dark and the Light by artist Ursula Nistrup. Through its visual language, soundscape, and scenography the exhibition presents a physical and sensory view of today - a time in which we humans navigate a twilight zone between the hopeful light and the disturbing darkness. Searching Through the Dark and the Light is thus one large installation in two parts, a dark and a light, consisting of sculptural elements, a musical sound universe, and textual narratives.
The exhibition is based on a fictional story developed by Ursula Nistrup in collaboration with author Ida Marie Hede. In the story, a species of butterfly has mutated in order to survive in a changing world.
The exhibition includes musical contributions from Lis Sørensen, Signe Høirup Wille-Jørgensen (JOMI), Xenia Xamanek, Luke Sutherland (Rev Magnetic), Anne Sofie Madsen, Laura Bidstrup, Marie Bancks, and Lotte Henriksen.
An LP with the music and the story of the butterflies, written in collaboration with Ida Marie Hede, will be released to accompany the exhibition.
The exhibition is co-curated by Sofie Gottlieb.
