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. [...]"

Martha Skou (b. 1982) is a Danish interdisciplinary artist who lives and works in Copenhagen. She holds an MFA in Visual Communication from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, completed in 2014. Among her recent exhibitions are Format 3 at KANAL-Centre Pompidou (Brussels, BE, 2023), Connect Me at Trapholt– museum of modern art, craft and design (Kolding, DK, 2023), and Disharmony of Spheres at Nikolaj Kunsthal (Copenhagen, DK, 2021), all in collaboration with artist Louise Foo. Stream of Strings at Horsens Art Museum marks Skou’s first major institutional solo exhibition.
