Molly Haslund

Flower Drop. Introducing Molly Haslund (new book)

Flower Drop. Introducing Molly Haslund offers an unprecedented overview of the practice of one of Denmark’s leading contemporary artists. The book presents a selection of Haslund’s work produced over the last two decades, tracking the development of her signature conceptual and material approach to both the extraordinary and the everyday. Written contributions from Karen Vestergaard Andersen, Sanne Kofod Olsen, and Gabriela Jauregui as well as an extended interview with Miriam Frandsen clarify how Haslund adapts and stages the uncanny potential of human rituals and collective situations to reveal the political and poetic in contemporary human life. The book looks closely at the ongoing development of social aesthetics in the Nordic region and the intersection recorded by the artist through mixed-media artworks and performances, often delivered through photography, narrative texts, musical compositions, sound, video, sculpture, props, virtual reality, and ready-mades.
