Martha Skou | STREAM OF STRINGS: Horsens Art Museum

Bricks Gallery is pleased to share STREAM OF STRINGS, a solo exhibition by Martha Skou, opening at Horsens Art Museum on Saturday, May 2 2026.

The museum wrote the following about the exhibition:

"At a time when our perception is increasingly shaped by technological systems, and our relationship to the physical and the living is shifting, Martha Skou examines how movement, energy, and materiality shape the way we exist in the world.

STREAM OF STRINGS unfolds through textile installations, ceramic reliefs, sculpture, and sound. Across materials, Skou engages with forces and phenomena we do not normally perceive directly—such as vibrations, waves, and currents. She brings them forward as physical and spatial experiences, where energy does not appear as something abstract. Instead, it circulates, shifts, and moves through both organic and inorganic materials, across bodies, spaces, and surfaces. [...]"
