Kunsten - Museum of Modern Art in Aalborg presents the first solo exhibition in Denmark by Norwegian-Nigerian contemporary artist Frida Orupabo, born in 1986. The show, Get close enough and you can't see, was created specifically for the architecture of Alvar Aalto, and turns the museum's rooms into a sensory world where gazes, bodies and stories meet and are woven together anew.
Orupabo makes captivating visual narratives that move between the personal and the collective, and between past and present. Her works set up a lively dialogue between the familiar and the unexpected, between the stories we know and those still waiting to be told. Visitors are invited to be enveloped, confronted, challenged and moved.
