At the Edge II – Jamila Drott, Maxime Hourani, Maia Torp Neergaard, Kristoffer Ørum Curator Kevin Malcolm
14 March – 13 April 2025 Vernissage Friday 14 March 5–8pm
At the Edge II builds thematically on previous exhibition projects, where questions of place and identity, especially in relation to architecture and urban planning, were framed. At the Edge Part I was shown at Vermilion Sands in Copenhagen in the autumn of 2024. Part II is an extension of a first exhibition that will have a clearer connection to Malmö as a place and context. This series of exhibitions examine the role of the artist and the art space in urban transformations, while being situated in broader discussions about place, capitalism and identity, urban space, speculation and gentrification.
The exhibition features three of my AI-generated works that reimagine Malmö’s urban landmarks. These speculative images visualize alternative histories for the Old Gate at Folkets Park, Drottninggatan 6, and Malmö’s New City Hall. By blending historical elements with imagined possibilities, the works invite viewers to question how these spaces might have evolved differently through community use, resident modification, and the mixing of formal governance with street expression. The digital images complement the exhibition’s exploration of how urban spaces both shape and are shaped by the people who use them, offering new perspectives on Malmö’s architectural stories and potential futures.
