Masks, myths, blubber, and stilettos. In a new solo exhibition, using humour and tragedy in equal measure, Jessie Kleemann examines how Greenlandic identity, culture, and nature change over time. For three decades now, Kleemann has been a significant figure on the contemporary art scene with her original approach to video art, experimental theatre, and performance art. Her art is rooted in the complex relations between Greenland, where she was born and raised, and Denmark, where she resides today. This booklet has been published in connection with the exhibition 'Time Runs, Runs Time' at the National Gallery of Denmark, August 24th - November 26th, 2023

Masker, myter, spæk og stilletter. I en ny soloudstilling undersøger Jessie Kleemann med lige dele humor og tragik, hvordan grønlandsk identitet, kultur og natur forandrer sig over tid. Gennem tre årtier har Kleemann været en markant figur på samtidskunstens scene med sin originale tilgang til videokunst, eksperimentalteater og performancekunst. Hendes kunst tager afsæt i de komplekse relationer mellem Grønland, hvor hun er født og opvokset – og Danmark, hvor hun bor i dag. Dette hæfte er udgivet i forbindelse med udstillingen 'Tiden løber løber tiden' på Statens Museum for Kunst, 24. august - 26. november 2023
