The exhibition CORPUS proposes a reflection on the ways in which the body becomes a fundamental instrument of perception and orientation in the world. In the curatorial reading, Guðrið Poulsen’s works are connected to the phenomenological view that the body is the locus of memory, gestures, and trajectories that structure experience. The artist’s practice is an expression of lived experience: walking, touching the material, observing the Faroese landscape, and attending to the natural architecture of space function as forms of embodied knowledge, while the ceramic material preserves these encounters as sedimented layers, similar to an intimate architecture. Each object becomes an essentialized expression of the contact between body and world, and the exhibition as a whole forms a coherent organism of shapes, rhythms, and memories in which lived experience and the materiality of clay reflect one another. At the same time, CORPUS invites visitors to rediscover their own bodily presence in a world marked by accelerated rhythms, reminding us that we are shaped by the spaces we traverse and the gestures we repeat. The exhibition thus conveys the message of cultivating a “personal corpus” as a way of remaining anchored in one’s own life.
The exhibition is open to the public from 18 May to 15 June 2026.
