The idea is that the many works should form a collage that both ties threads to the artist's past and shows where he is now in terms of expression.

At Stalke Gallery, Sam Jedig has taken a step back to assume the role of gallery owner to present two major video installations: "Tomorrow is Today" by Nikolaj Recke and "The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" by Julia Oschatz.

The Danish artist Nikolaj Recke, born in 1969, is currently also exhibiting at Thomas Rehbein in Cologne with the project "Calendar of Tomorrows," which ends on October 20. Additionally, he is part of the International Study and Curatorial program in New York in 2007.

His installation at Stalke Gallery consists of two projections filmed on either side of the dateline in the Fiji Islands. The idea is to create a space where one can see both tomorrow and yesterday at the same time.

The German artist Julia Oschatz, born in 1970, is being introduced to a Danish audience for the first time. She has previously exhibited in New York and presented three major solo projects in 2006 at Kunstmuseum Mülheim, Städtische Galerie Wolfsburg, and Neuer Kunstverein Giessen.

Her installation, "The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea," follows a mouse-like figure with overly long ears, an oversized head, and disproportionately large feet—an odd hybrid between an animal and a human.

The exhibition at Stalke Gallery can be seen until November 4.

Nikolaj and Julia Exhibit in Kirke Sonnerup

Until November 4, Stalke Gallery in Kirke Sonnerup presents two major video installations by Nikolaj Recke ("Tomorrow is Today") and Julia Oschatz ("The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea").

Over the past year, Nikolaj Recke has explored the concept of time, filming the dateline on the Fiji Islands as part of his work. In the gallery space, two parallel projections are displayed—one from each side of the dateline.

This creates a conceptual and visual space where one can observe both tomorrow and yesterday simultaneously. It is a space that does not exist in physical reality, where there is no "today," only tomorrow and yesterday.

Julia Oschatz, from Germany, is being introduced to a Danish audience for the first time. Her work includes drawing and painting, which integrate with her videos into a unified spatial installation.

The German artist has previously exhibited at Leslie Tonkonow in New York and presented three major solo projects this year at Kunstmuseum Mülheim, Städtische Galerie in Wolfsburg, and Neuer Kunstverein in Giessen.

At Stalke Gallery in Kirke Sonnerup, you can experience these two significant video installations by Nikolaj Recke and Julia Oschatz until November 4.
