Fiona Tan: Geography of Time, Museet for Samtidskunst, until January
31
Fiona Tan expresses herself in a richly visual language at the intersection
between the documentary and literary genres. This exhibition explores
fundamental questions about the nature of identity and how individuals live
with the past and memories in everyday life.
With her Australian-Indonesian roots, the Dutch artist Fiona Tan describes
herself as a “professional foreigner ”. Shortly after her birth in 1966 in
Indonesia, her family had to flee from the military regime of Suharto. They
settled in Australia. After studying in Germany and in the Netherlands at the
Gerrit Rietveld Academie and the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunst, Tan
made Amsterdam her home. Memories and identity have since emerged as
the central preoccupations of her art.

Targets, Nobels Fredssenter, until April 24
Targets is a photo exhibition that shows how images of the enemy are created.
The German photographer Herlinde Koelbl has visited military training camps
in 27 countries, and photographed the targets that the soldiers use when they
are training to kill. She has been to Europe, the USA, the Middle East, Africa,
Asia, China, Russia, Turkey and Israel. Only North Korea denied her access.
Herlinde Koelbl has also portrayed those who may end up as living targets:
the soldiers. A video installation and excerpts from Koelbl’s conversations
with the soldiers accompany the exhibition’s photographs. They provide a
glimpse of the challenging position the soldiers face.
