Simone Aaberg Kærn is a Danish artist based in Copenhagen.
Over the past decade she has worked with aerial flight as a pervasive theme in a series of video works, installations and performance - frequently in combination with the historical and social representation of woman as a subject.
The exhibition at Malmö Konsthall, her first major solo exhibition, is presented in the form of a journey - a flight through aesthetic, historical and political landscapes.
In a global perspective the sky and airspace is a place of conflict - over prestige, politics and power.
At the same time, the sky is a place where individuals seek refuge, a space onto which we project our wishes and dreams.
The exhibition will take place between 25 May 2006 and 20 August 2006.

Ernesto Neto works with abstract installations which often take up the entire exhibition space.
His materials are gossamer-thin, light, stretchable fabrics in nylon or cotton.
Like fine membranes fixed to the ceiling by long, stretched threads his works hang down into the room and create shapes that are almost organic.
Sometimes they are filled with scented spices and hang in tear-shaped forms like gigantic mushrooms or huge stockings, sometimes he creates peculiar soft sculptures which the visitor is allowed to feel through small openings in the surface.
He also creates spatial labyrinths which the visitor can enter and thereby experience the work and interact with it.
Neto's art is a sensual experience which creates associations with the body and with something organic.
He describes his works as an exploration and a representation of the body's landscape from within.
It is important to Neto that the viewer should actively interact with and physically experience his work by feeling, smelling, and touching it.
For Malmö Konsthall Neto will create a completely new work which he is calling The Malmö Experience.
The exhibition in Malmö will provide an extensive overview and synopsis of Neto's oeuvre and contain a number of important works which will be presented in a new way.

The approximately fifty works in Take Two are combined in unexpected cross-generational groupings and thematic ensembles.
The striking variety of works-video, audio pieces, photography, painting, multi-part works on paper, and large-scale installations-together propose a series of conversations and confrontations among the works and accentuate important innovations in art made between 1965 and the present.
Take Two addresses three significant preoccupations in contemporary art: shifting perceptions of identity; explorations of the political landscape; and the notion of the sublime and the dematerialization of the art object.
Take Two features a number of significant recent acquisitions that have not previously been exhibited, including works by Marina Abramovic, James Lee Byars, Janet Cardiff, Mona Hatoum, Gary Hill, Rudolph Schwartzkogler, and Yinka Shonibare.
The exhibition is organized by Klaus Biesenbach, Curator, Department of Film and Media, The Museum of Modern Art, and Chief Curator of P.S.1 Contemporary Arts Center; and Roxana Marcoci, Associate Curator, Department of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art.
JPMorgan Chase is the sponsor of the reinstallation of The Museum of Modern Art's Collection.
Major Support is provided by Banana Republic and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
