JOHN KØRNER – CRAZY WATERMELON SHIPPING
2020-09-07Picture yourself on the very tip of Jutland, on Grenen, a sand spit with a view of a nebulous parking zone for container ships and cruise liners carrying everything from giant, orange gas cylindersto tourists, food and many other things for the potential benefit of us on the shore looking out. A strategic spot for parking ships, the sea of Kattegat offers easy access to the whole world.
This is a key point of departure for John Kørner’s (b. 1967) Crazy Watermelon Shipping. Revolving around issues of consumption and goods in transit, the exhibition examines the global market and how we experience it in everyday life, say at the supermarket when we debate what items to place in our baskets. Some people have only one option when it comes to shopping, others have a few more, while others again have nothing but shopping options.
