I HU
Anders Werdelin, Morten Tillitz, and Kim Ashbury present a different kind of memory images
The exhibition I HU has remembrance as its theme and project. The artists Anders Werdelin, Morten Tillitz, and Kim Ashbury present a series of different and personal memory images and objects. - Our approach to this theme is personal: We wanted to examine our memory images from childhood and youth against some simple three dimensional set of rules, the three artists say.
TO REMEMBER
- The title I HU is important; we wish to connect remembering to something filled with impulse that means something that comes to you from your past without you forcing it. An expression like “acting on a momentary impulse” sets the tone of our project. We are all drawn to remembrance in our artistic work. We are all at an age which implies a threefold perspective of what is remembered: things as they were once, continuity, and the consciousness of cultural change over time.
A GLANCE AT THE PERSONAL LIFE
In Germany the concept of “Vergangenheitsverwaltigung” is applied to the look that the Germans have at the violent past of their own as well as that of their country. The past that we have lived is less violent but to us none the less dramatic and in any circumstance none the less important to us personally. We wish to make a “Vergangenheitsverwaltigung” of our own with this exhibition of mainly sculptures and photography, the artists say about the theme and the art works of the exhibition.

REMEMBRANCE AS FORM
- We have had a simple but important rule concerning the works of the exhibition: Each of our contributions to the exhibition must appear in form as memory images. The relationship between the appearance of the work in form and remembrance that we intuitively know is told in past tense, but which is very much alive and present, is ambiguous.
SYSTEMATIC
The practice and the working up of the personal material of remembrance have been relatively systematic. The artists have divided their work into cycles. More precisely specific artistic ways such as figuration, color, and concretion. Though this plurality of expressions the artists have taken into account remembrance being sensuously determined but in itself not tied to conventions of style.
Though simple and systematic work processes Anders Werdelin, Morten Tillitz, and Kim Asbury have created a series of peculiar and fascinating pictures and sculptural objects of remembrance that move around in the borderland of picture and sculpture, surface and space.
