ABOUT THE WORK

For CHART in Tivoli 2023, Danish artist FOS will exhibit ‘Leaking Fountain,’ a work that was shown for the first time in the Port of Copenhagen in 2018. With its playful suggestion that all of the world’s oceans were created as a result of a burst water pipe, ‘Leaking Fountain’ invites viewers to embrace a frame of mind where basic assumptions are upended and traditional ways of thinking challenged.

Blurring the boundaries between art and craft, FOS is driven by an investigation of how our physical surroundings - what we see, touch and move around inside - effects our social interactions. FOS’ work is an ongoing study of how the language of objects and space define us as social beings.
