Ecological Dramaturgy

Installation by Lene Markusen

Lene Markusen's growing wall drawing in M.1 is a visual condensation and poetic documentation of the encounters and conversations that take place during the Assemblies of Art as Ecological Practice, transferred, translated and retold by the artist. Spanning two walls in an “internal mural,” a multi-layered pictorial landscape unfolds in which individual motifs interact, overlap, merge into one another or open up new contexts through their juxtaposition. The landscape of drawings follows the concept of an ‘ecological dramaturgy’ that Markusen is currently developing: a participatory narrative form based on connection and relationality – between people, things, thoughts, times and places. In this open dramaturgy, a network of stories and meanings emerges that is not linear but planetary in nature – a documented web of perception, memory and imagination.
