Le Bicolore - Maison du Danemark presents “Liminal Objects” by Ane Lynge-Jorlén, who has curated several exhibitions on contemporary fashion in Scandinavia.

This exhibition in the Danish cultural centre dedicated to contemporary art and design presents a new generation of eight Nordic designers and artists. They explore and question the way in which materials, functions, bodies and identities are perceived in fashion and art.

The notion of liminality refers to a transitional phase, at the edge of two worlds where opposites coexist.

The exhibition presents objects whose ambiguity allows new ideas, practices and identities to emerge between fashion and art. The guest artists and designers experiment with forms and narratives, redefining the boundaries between disciplines. Through recycling, upcycling and artisanal production, they are repositioning the status of fashion.

ABOUT LE BICOLORE

At the Maison du Danemark on the Champs-Élysées, Le Bicolore is a platform for contemporary Danish art and offers a broad range of cultural and contemporary experiences. Le Bicolore is a forum for dialogue between the Danish and French cultural scenes. The platform's ambition is to understand, catalyse and reflect the creative dynamics of Denmark. It calls on the senses and aesthetics and vectors as essential as encounters and debate, notably through exhibitions of contemporary art and performances.
