Forlagsbeskrivelse af After Nature af Josefine Klougart

“In times of crisis, such as the one we live in today, the dream often arises that art and literature will come to our rescue... Art must take a stand, embody a form of ethics, “mean something”, and ultimately work, that is, create change in the concrete world.” After Nature seeks an aesthetic vision for the experience of art and literature. Through the reading of a number of artworks from the Glyptotek’s collection, Josefine Klougart draws lines of connection between art and literature and reflects on the cognition of aesthetics. After nature discusses how art and literature can be political, what demands can actually be placed on it. The book gives a unique insight into the thoughts behind the author’s own books, and it is an important contribution to the discussion about the role of art in society today and in the future. It is, among other things, a vision of an aesthetic and social revolution. PRESS AND PRAISE: “With thought connections and a language ceaselessly drawing our bodies, life and awareness of death into the reading of these artistic depictions of nature, Josefine Klougart takes a firm grip on us.” ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Politiken “With her words, Josefine Klougart gives us both nature and the nature of art back.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kristeligt Dagblad “Josefine Klougart has created an exhibition on people’s intimate and twisted relationship to nature which couldn’t be timed any better.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Weekendavisen “An immensely clever and beautiful essay, the importance of which is far greater than the exhibition itself.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jyllands-Posten “[Klougart] revives the forgotten tradition of the artist as philosopher – and the result holds rare beauty.” Information
