Curated for
CHART

For CHART 2025, Lagune Ouest will exhibit a presentation of new works by Moa Alskog, Henrik Plenge Jakobsen and Asta Lynge.

Moa Alskog (SE)

Moa Alskog’s practice unfolds around the human relation to nature. She builds worlds with images and text, in dialog with other artists, historians and scientists. Often by making the small, big. Currently, Alskog works on portraits of soil-microorganisms. The vital lives that live in the dirt that cover our planet. The portraits are part of an ongoing project dealing with the idea of the Utopia. Method, material and motif are equally important in the artist’s work. Alskog (re-)uses the material she finds around her, for example wasted insects net, vinyl floor as canvas, plastic bag frames, images and ideas.

Moa Alskog (b. 1985, SE) holds a MFA from The Danish Art Academy of Fine Arts (2016). Past exhibitions include: Lagune Ouest (Copenhagen), Ugo experimental platform (Malmö), Alta Art Space (Malmö), Amager Skulpturpark (Copenhagen), Nikolaj Kunsthal (Copenhagen), Loggia (Munich), AGA (Copenhagen), Havebiennalen (Copenhagen), and Elisabeth Arts Foundation (New York).
