LIN UTZON

Cosmic Dance

Hotel Sant Francesc

21.09.23 – 06.11.23

On the occasion of the Nit de l'Art 2023 we are pleased to announce the collaboration between CCA Andratx and Hotel Sant Francesc presenting the project Cosmic Dance by Danish artist Lin Utzon.

Cosmic Dance is based on Utzon's research into the use of traditional Mallorcan ceramics, which are adapted to build large-scale installations, based on the experience developed with the ceramist Pere Coll in Pòrtol on siurells (clay figures with a whistle attached, traditionally made in Mallorca since time immemorial), as well as with large-format paintings and photographs.

Throughout Lin Utzon's work there is a progression from monumental architecture to changing scales that generate new visions from the individual to the collective. Utzon has had numerous solo exhibitions and her works have been shown in galleries and museums around the world; her career has been marked by a number of notable achievements, such as being selected for the Danish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2007. Utzon's creations also include costumes and sets for the Royal Danish Ballet.
