The alchemist of colour Margrethe Odgaard, painter Tove Storch, and interior decorator Grethe Sørensen are among the ten artists who, with sensuality, vibrancy, and tactile delight, launch the reopening of the exhibition space of the Maison du Danemark.The exhibition In a Slow Manner, whose title is an ode to the 1941 essay by interior decorator Anni Albers‘Handweaving Today’, awakens the visitor’s senses in an experimental manner through the discovery of textile artworks whose very essence stems from their texture and materials.
