Spacegirls' contribution to the exhibition is a monumental architectural sculpture of sand and seashells. The work builds on the duo's material-oriented basic research and practice, where place and material are embedded in each other. During the exhibition period, works become a meeting place and a laboratory, which visitors can activate in their own way or in connection with the exhibition's workshops. 

Biography 

Spacegirls is oriented towards communities. They work site-specifically with a particular focus on process and materiality. In their works, they reinterpret, and play with, architectural archetypes, which they build from materials created through slow, repetitive processes. The duo seeks to expand the boundaries of the architectural profession, among other things in aesthetic experiments, where they explore a more sensitive approach to building and develop a new poetics of architecture through materiality, place, ecology and language. 

The duo Spacegirls is an interdisciplinary architectural practice consisting of Cisse Bomholt (1989, DK) and Elisabeth Gellein (1990, NO). Both graduated from the Royal Academy – Architecture, Design and Conservation in Copenhagen (2016). Spacegirls lives and works in Copenhagen and Oslo. 

Spacegirls has exhibited across the art and architecture scene, including the solo exhibition Rock/Cover Remix at Huset for Kunst og Design in Holstebro (2019). In 2022, the duo created the site-specific work Kaffehytten for the art and nature park Deep Forest Art Land in Kibæk, and in 2023 Spacegirls will publish their first book - a cross-Scandinavian project that investigates a new poetics of architecture through materiality, place, ecology and language.
