Title: Building stories
Description: In 'Building stories' ARoS presents the wide span of E.B. Itso's art production - a journey to the centre of the earth, constructions built by the artist himself and suspended from the ceiling, and also the fronts of demolished houses. The exhibition highlights E.B. Itso's particular kind of engagement and his marked preference for the overlooked existences of those living on the margins of society. He went to (the Italian island of ) Lampedusa himself, where he collected clothes, geographical maps and remnants of boats, all left behind by refugees on their arrival to the island. "E.B. Itso is inspired by the overlooked. He lends a voice to those who normally do not have one, and by displaying their discarded belongings he turns them into more than just numbers. They become human beings," says Jakob Vengberg Sevel. Exhibition: ARoS Kunstmuseum, Aarhus, Denmark (13.06.15 - 20.09.15).
