Three Nordic artists, Pernille Egeskov (DK), A K Dolven (NO) and Minna Kangasmaa (FI) have been brought together to illuminate the double meaning of the exhibition's title Take Care. The word "care" means concern and interest. The title can be understood as both an exhortation and a plea: a request for care and concern or a call to be careful and cherish. We live in the cross wave of these meanings. On the one hand, we become more and more aware of our own limits, frailties and the importance of close relationships, and on the other hand, we have to shift our interest from personal to collective, to how care touches more broadly – the community, the climate, the diversity of life – everything on this planet. The three artists of the exhibition, Pernille Egeskov, A K Dolven and Minna Kangasmaa, shed light on the multiple meanings of the title Take Care, from portrayals of familial relationships and social structures to gestures of empathy, evoking vitality, and explorations of absence.
