For the exhibition ‘I am not what you see’ by Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen we milled a 130 meter long curtain track.
NOMADIC CULTURE
‘I am not what you see’ is the name of an exhibition, which ran in 2021 at the international art center of Copenhagen, Copenhagen Contemporary.
Video- and performanceartist Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen is examining nomadic life, ethnicity, and identity. She zooms in on the ability of nomads to carry their home wherever they go. When crossing boundaries, parts of the world, cultures, and social surroundings.

For the monumental sculpture Quadripoint, we created a 130 meter long AP 5001 track in the colour white, our longest curved track at the time. The track winds around the huge hall carrying white recycled fabric which acts both as room divider and curtain. It was a challenging but exiting task, and we think the result is stunning.

PLAYING WITH CURTAIN TRACKS
Cuenca Rasmussen’s exhibition consists of four monumental sculptures, each bearing a different name and, in their various ways, hybrids of architecture, costumes, and dwellings.
The largest work in physical terms is Quadripoint, reminiscent of a tipi. The gossamer-thin white fabric of the sculpture, stretched between floor and ceiling. Carried by the 130 m long AP 5001 Stilling curtain track, it is anchored to the floor by ten heavy coral stones.
Besides dissolving its own shape, Quadripoint is able to transform the gallery space completely when the thin fabric and the curtain track are used during the performance “Cocktail”.
The track both creates new spaces and labyrinths, and surrounds and carries the artwork.

ART FOR ALL THE SENSES
Copenhagen Contemporary (CC) is Copenhagen’s international art center showing installation art created by both renowned and new emerging talents.
CC is located in the magnificent former B&W welding plant offering a total of 7,000 m2 of beautiful industrial halls with plenty of space to show the technical and large formats in which many contemporary artists work: total installations, performance art, and monumental video works.
Art that can often be experienced with all your sensed, which also applies to the Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen exhibition.
