Silarsuaq takuiuk // Micro-Macro

Nuuk Art Museum opens the new special exhibition “Silarsuaq takuiuk // Micro-Macro” on Friday, April 4, 3-5 p.m.

Nuuk Art Museum’s collection includes paintings that can fill an entire wall as well as graphic prints measuring 3×6 cm. There are large soapstone figures of the Mother of the Sea and fish, as well as tiny figures of polar bears and tupilaat. The new exhibition will include large paintings by Anne-Lise Løvstrøm (b. 1960), small prints by Aalut Kangermiu (1822-1869), small boxes and micro-watercolors by Mike Lynge (b. 1976) and small wooden figures by Ignatius Starch.

The new exhibition will show large and small works from the museum’s collection under the title “Silarsuaq takuiuk // Micro-Macro”. Large works can occupy space in a different way than small works, while small works can offer a whole world in themselves. It will be an exhibition where guests will be treated to great show-stoppers, and microscopic works will arouse curiosity about the breadth of art, and will be a delight for both young and old. Part of the exhibition will be taken up by Nuuk’s landmark, the Sermitsiaq mountain, which Anne-Birthe Hove has depicted in two graphic series.

The vernissage will take place on Friday, April 4th, at 3-5 p.m., with free admission for everyone, and everyone is welcome. The exhibition is funded by Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq’s Sermeqpulje, and can be seen until May 11th, 2025.
