The three pieces above are part of the ongoing series entitled Impression (2012-2015) by Danish artist MIKKEL CARL which are currently presented in his first institutional solo exhibition at the Kunsthal Nord in Aalborg (Danemark). The series consists of ‘blanket pieces’ coming from galleries, art venues and institutions that CARL has had to work with. Each blankets are stretched on to frames, the dimension of each ‘canvas’ corresponds to the size of the blanket minus 10cm of either side.

The artist’s seemingly minimal and spatial interventions show an intense interest in the emotional potential for objects to transmit meaning: the fabric not only refers to art history but also creates a dialogue between the art spaces that bind them together and one cannot help but imagine the art objects the blankets used to protect, hence the title.

We Are All Workers is on view at Kunsthal Nord, Aalborg until June 21, 2015
