Artist Commission Quicksand by Nikolaj Bendix Skyum Larsen

Co-commissioned by the Goethe-Institut London in association with Culture+Conflict for Promised Land

As a central part of the event series Promised Land, Nikolaj Bendix Skyum Larsen, in collaboration with Duncan Pickstock, has been commissioned to create a new piece of work responding to and reflecting on the theme. Titled Quicksand, the audio installation will be premiered at the Promised Land symposium in December, and subsequently shown as a further developed piece at Hull City of Culture in spring 2017 in the central exhibition curated by Film & Video Umbrella. 

Quicksand is commissioned by the Goethe-Institut London in association with Culture+Conflict for the event series Promised Land, and has been generously supported by the Danish Arts Council, the Danish Embassy and the Elephant Trust.
