galerie susan nielsen presents the group exhibition STORYLINE from the 17th of May till the 5th of July 2008. STORYLINE comprises works by seven artists from Denmark, Norway and Finland that deal with the concepts of narration and transformation. The narrative element, where stories are not so much told as indicated, unfolds itself through drawing. As the exhibition shows, drawing is a versatile practice to which each of the works has a different approach. In this context however, drawing should be understood broadly, and thus many of the exhibited works are the result of the artist’s use of mixed media.
The world of STORYLINE is a world of adventure, fairy-tales, myths, and of journeys; journeys to the self and to the end of the world. The exhibited works speak to us in a multitude of different voices yet they all speak about transformation, the process of undergoing change whether physical or psychological, subtle or radical. Thus change can be viewed as a journey in a concrete sense as well as in a metaphysical sense, a leap into the unknown, the rites of passage, a life-changing voyage, or an escape into the world on the other side of the mirror.
VIBE BREDAHL(1974, DK) takes her point of departure in the shaping of personal narratives from the journey through life, where an individual’s identity is weaved from the many threads of interaction and experiences.

The solo exhibition in Martin Asbæk Projects is like entering a Wunderkammer or art cabinet
of the sort that every European prince would possess some decades ago. Here you were
able to find curiosities from his native country mixed with more exotic items like for instance
a necklace of beetle wings from Brazil or a microscope in silver and ebony.
Vibe Bredahl’s ”The Journey” presents a similar accumulation of odd and wonderful objects,
drawings and photos. The works are presented in a total installation forming a thematically
connected whole. It starts already in the windows facing the street where gigantic green type
cases stuffed with things are inviting people to step inside Bredahl’s art cabinet.
The project is sponsored by the Danish Arts Council Committee for Visual Arts.

Ordet ”fora” er flertalsformen af ”forum” og betegnende for de møder og den dialog imellem de deltagende kunstnere, som har været omdrejningspunktet for denne udstilling.
Fælles for værkerne er at de alle er figurative og fortællende. Uanset om de bearbejdede emner er psykologiske, politiske, mytiske, selvbiografiske eller sociale, så forskydes de til fiktioner, der mærkes af en tvetydig foruroligende stemning.

- plus a series of lectures, readings, and concerts every Wednesday evening throughout August.
The exhibition has been organised by Vibe Bredahl, Sophie Hjerl and Malene Hartmann, all three of whom have exhibited in Syria as well as many places in Denmark and abroad. They are all graduates of the Royal Danish Art Academy. The exhibition’s Syrian organiser is the photographer Issa Touma, who owns and runs the gallery ”Le Pont” in Aleppo, Syrien.
At Images of Syria Vibe Bredahl showed the Syrian component of her project Embroidery of the Middle East, which is a pictorial description/narrative from the Middle East. The project started in 2001 when Bredahl traveled to Syria and asked people to embroider stories on the doll. The doll came to embody an archetypal figure traveling though and affected by the different communities and regions of the Middle East.
In addition to the exhibition, the project includes four evenings that focus on art (August 9th), literature (August 16th), history (August 23rd) and music (August 30th). Combined with the exhibition, these thought-provoking evenings are intended to give the public a clear glimpse into Syrian art and culture, and to foster room for reflection and dialogue on the cultural, linguistic, religious and geographic differences between the West and the Middle East.

Seven female artists exhibit their ”Tales from the Uncertain” at Gallery Tom Christoffersen. It seems pushy and at the same time fragile but the works do relate to a personal and often emotionally charged sphere.
The uncertain tales are told through very different paintings and drawings because the artists work in continuation of their particular visual universes. Whether the themes reflected on are psychological, political, mythical, autobiographical or social they are displaced to imaginative fictions which are marked by an ambiguity and uncanny atmosphere.
In the explorative work on the border between reality and the unreal, the art works involves recognisable elements from the fairytale, the landscape, children drawings, language and nature. The artists particular visual logics, which varies from elaborate detailing to hasty sketching, makes certain that the scenarios stays alien and that the tales begins and ends in the uncertain.
Statens Kunstfonds udvalg for kunst i det offentlige rum har givet tilskud til indkøb af værket PUNBIRDS PANORAMA.
Statens Kunstfond skriver om værkert:
"Værkets titel PUNBIRDS PANORAMA har også en underrubrik: "I dag død i morgen rød. Jeg blæser dig luft under vingerne. Du flyver højere end vingerne bærer". På den aflange billedflade fortæller Vibe Bredahl en cyklisk, smuk og finurlig historie om en kvinde og død en fugl. Det er en historie, hvor de små figurer i det vide landskab bindes sammen i et evigt kredsløb af tab og håb."

Martin Asbæk Projects presented drawings from Vibe Bredahl's artist-book-project PUN BIRDS. The Pun Bird book was released in connection with the show.
In her visual interpretations of proverbs and phrases Bredahl displays a subtle poetic word game.
If any, proverbs and phrases can be described as verbal stereotypes. Therefore, in an odd way there is something daring about Bredahl’s project. It simply seems too banal for a contemporary artist to engage with.
However, one will immediately see that the project is not a simple matter of illustrating clichés.
In fact, PUN BIRDS is about the relation between word and image.
How words eventually lose their significance when turned into standard metaphors - and how they are being brought back into life by drawings adding new or different meaning to worn out words.
At first glance PUN BIRDS seems to convey a naive and childlike world. This is underlined by the fact that Vibe Bredahl uses Indian ink for her drawings – perhaps the most distinguished drawing tool among children today.
However, the scale differs from most children’s drawings – some measuring up to 120 x 200 cm.
In spite of its playful nature, PUN BIRDS deals with heavy existential topics such as loss, death and unreturned love.
PUN BIRDS is a mixture of words and images, different languages, phrases, proverbs and birds all over. Nothing is steady and meanings constantly change
Martin Asbæk Projects præsenterede tegninger fra Vibe Bredahls artist book PUN BIRDS, der udkom i forbindelse med udstillingen.
PUN BIRDS betyder egentlig "ordspilsfugle". Tegningerne er visuelle fortolkninger af ordsprog og fraser.
De fungerer som individuelle værker, men refererer også til hinanden, så der opstår et fortællende forløb – med fugle, en kvinde og en jæger som gennemgående figurer.
Ved første øjekast udfolder PUN BIRDS et naivt og barnligt univers. Det understreges af, at Bredahl tegner med tusch – vel nok det fornemmeste tegneredskab blandt børn i dag.
Men flere af tegningerne er vældig monumentale og udtrykker en grum erfaring.
"Kill Your Darlings" bliver i Bredahls fortolkning til et meget konkret og morderisk billede, hvor den elskede rent faktisk dør på uhyggelig vis.
Midt i deres tilsyneladende naivitet rummer Bredahls tegninger altså en absurd komik, som får beskueren til at spærre øjnene op. Den overførte betydning i ordsprog og fraser bliver tolket helt bogstaveligt.
Til trods for den legende tone i PUN BIRDS kredser Bredahls værker og bog om tunge eksistentielle emner som tab og død.
I PUN BIRDS gælder det Pantone tusch samt en forunderlig blanding af ord og billeder. Faste sproglige vendinger vendes på hovedet. Nye betydninger opstår, og intet betyder længere hvad det plejer.
"I alle tegningerne har Vibe Bredahl i ordets egentlige forstand fået en lille fjer på.
De er i hvert fald berusende charmerende og spidsfindige i deres tilsyneladende naive
billedsprog."
