THE STAG, THE TANK AND THE LARK
The Country out from the Closet, Art Centre Silkeborg Bad (DK)
19 january – 23 june 2013
Group exhibition

“The best contribution to the otherwise somewhat feigned theme of the exhibition is Morten Barker’s installation with a night-vision recording of a tank nearing a field with a red stag. The sound of a lark is heard, and small screens placed in the centre of the room show the bombs hitting. Here, the fight of the landscape is fought. Also quite literally as the recordings are from Oksbøl, which as we know, is located in a country at war”. Michael Jeppesen, [information.dk] 6 April 2013.
