Future Worlds

In Future Worlds , science fiction forms the basis of an exhibition conceived as an artistic and cultural laboratory. Astronauts, alien life forms and new technologies open up possibilities for different stories and societies. Journey through vastly different worlds in an exhibition of large-scale installations, light and moving images. Encounter futuristic landscapes and parallel realities, while references to film, comics and popular culture create connections between contemporary art and the fictional universes that have shaped our visions of the future for generations. Experience works by internationally acclaimed artists including Stan Douglas, Josèfa Ntjam, Lee Bul, Mike Kelley and John Akomfrah, exploring some of the defining questions of our time – from artificial intelligence to climate change. Discover H.R. Giger’s iconic biomechanical universe, which had a profound influence on the creation of the Alien films. Future Worlds invites you into unknown worlds populated by heroes, hybrids and alien life forms – worlds that both fascinate and unsettle, challenging the way we see the reality we live in today. The exhibition is curated by Ellen Drude Langvold. The exhibition is made possible with support from The Obel Family Foundation.
