FORSTADIER / PRECURSORS opens Saturday 28 February at Ringsted Galleriet and Midt- og Vestsjællands Hospital in Ringsted. The exhibition is a duo show with Aske Thiberg ( @askweee ), circling the iconography of the healthcare system — the clinical room, the language of care, the institutional forms — with detours into bias in language models, datasets, isolation and alienation. In the gallery, Thiberg has built a room within the room. Behind it, my video Arthropod Care / Leddyrsomsorg imagines a future healthcare system where enormous blue woodlice have taken over the roles otherwise assigned to automation and AI. They are strange enough to disturb, but present enough to raise the question of whether this could actually be an answer. At the hospital, they step out of the screen and into reality as scaled-up sculptures, signs and leaflets. Opening 28 February, 12:00–16:00. On view until 11 April 2026.
