Where do we run, when we lose the sense of security and our world collapses? The exhibition Building a garden around a burning house presents works which treat the concept of shelter as a place, relationship, comfort or community-building. We want to show the societal aspect of shelter, the difficulties in finding it, and the consequences when there is none. The presented art showcases strong, human emotions. The works connect affection and aggression, destruction and care, vitality and impermanence. They expose our intimate ideas about safety and protection and embody our worries and difficulties in finding comfort. They face reality, comment on and relate to it by expressing the need of having shelter.
