Poster for the exhibition "Thai Body Massage og andre værker" by Jens Haaning at Kunsthal Nord, Aalborg, Denmark.
For this exhibition, the artist relocated an existing massage company and moved it into the art space. From this new location, the company continued its usual working routine with its clients, while a selection of works by Jens Haaning were shown in another section of the exhibition space. As the massage company presented itself with its parlour front, usual interior and signage, only the poster outside the entrance indicated the context of its presence in the art space and the artists authorship.

Jens Haaning
Acclaimed Danish artist, who invokes social borders, emphasizing issues of co-existence and the exclusion of marginalized groups. Through open-ended representations of foreign cultures fused with symbols of the majority culture, Haaning makes the artwork’s effect on the viewer its primary focus. jenshaaning.com |
