Kunst i Slusen kicks off the 2026 season with an opening reception on Sunday, August 2nd at 1 pm, in the 120-metre maneuvering passage beneath the drainage sluice in Hvide Sande:

When: Sunday, August 2nd, 1 pm
Where: Kunst i Slusen, the maneuvering passage beneath the sluice, Hvide Sande
What: Opening reception with a speech by Mayor Lone Andersen, cake and a drink, plus the chance to meet this year's artists
Organizer: Kunst i Slusen

This year's exhibition is titled Kysten som vilkår (The Coast as Condition) and brings together four artists with close ties to the west coast and to the ART56° artist residency in Hvide Sande: Michael Ruby, Britta Bauer, Jens Thordal, and Christian Estrup. All four work with the traces left by the coast; in materials, in light, in what washes ashore and slowly transforms.

The opening marks the start of two weeks during which the exhibition can be visited daily through Friday, August 14th.
