Opening: 13 January 2026, 5pm
Place: M.1, Hohenlockstedt

In September, nine fine art students from the Malmö Art Academy attended the Fall Assembly at M.1 in Hohenlockstedt. Through walking, listening, and spending time with people and places, their practices shifted in response to the specific social, historical, and ecological textures of this site.

The works presented in this exhibition emerge from these encounters—conversations, shared moments, and situated engagements that resist fixed narratives. Rather than representing Hohenlockstedt, the students reflect with it their own position, testing out how artistic practice can remain attentive, provisional, and relational.

Archived safe space I & II (2026)
Nina Fjordbak Nielsen
This site-specific installation of two birdhouses, one inside and one outside the institution, plays with the idea of a future in which birdhouses have become unnecessary. It is a deconstruction of the shelter as a supposedly altruistic symbol, in which birdhouses are preserved merely as monuments.

Unremembering (2026–)
Anton Backe
Unremembering s a proposal for a temporary monument that will be shaped by time, weather, and biological life. The sculpture is conceived as a work that will be populated by several animal and plant species and gradually colonized by insects, microorganisms, and moss. The sculpture takes up the dimension of the nearby hunter‘s monument, but dispenses with the representations on the monument. In this way, Unremembering draws attention to material processes, biological time, and the relationship between monumentality and transience. The ongoing ecological transformation does not establish memory as something stable and permanent.

Not fully false moon (2026)
Ruby Mariama Laura Andersen Ndoye
Ruby Andersen Ndoye‘s illustrations are part of the research material for a children‘s book about a bat‘s life with and in darkness. It moves between childlike fantasy and ecological reality and treats darkness not as a deficiency, but as a lived space—one that is still accessible in childhood, before control, security, and lighting systems completely take over. The works reflect on light pollution and its effects on non-human life relationships.

Means and ends (buying arms at the war museum gift shop) (2026)
Means and ends (pause in search of blueprints and figures) (2026)
Sarah Folker
Sarah Folker‘s installation consists of a video loop (Means and ends (buying arms at the war museum gift shop)) and an abstract tin sculpture (Means and ends (pause in search of blueprints and figures)). The sculpture consists of melted tin soldiers purchased at the museum at the water tower in Hohenlockstedt, while the video documents the moment and circumstances of their acquisition. The soldiers were melted down and recast, but did not find a new figurative form (due to the resistance of the material?). The work speaks of material transformation and narrative breaks. It connects the specific context and history of Hohenlockstedt with broader questions of production, circulation, and meaning formation, allowing new relationships, temporalities, and forms of causality to emerge from the reshaped tin.

Activated-by-the-artists (2026)
Cecilie Kappel & Sæunn la Cour Degnbol The work deals textually with concepts from the Autumn Assembly. On this basis, independent playful appropriations were created, which are installed throughout the building in the form of A4 printouts. The texts function less as explanatory labels than as situated approximations that shift perception, establish references, and linguistically remap the location.

The intervention titled SELECTED WORKS, THE POEM, Homemade in the library of M.1 takes titles from books there and rearticulates them through poetic combinations.
