Performance at Jinze Village 

Untitled Space 空间 题 空间,  Jinze, Shanghai, China, 2018.

​

While working as an artist in residence at Untitled Space (now known as Acentric Space), Anne Mølleskov continued exploring themes of landscape, territory, and belonging. She had brought along a white canvas typically mounted on stretchers for painting. However, instead of creating a traditional landscape painting, she cut the canvas and assembled it into a simple, wearable dress, ready to be worn "while walking out into the landscape." Functioning as a gallery, the dress displayed an exhibition of photos depicting forests found in Shanghai, sourced from both books and real life. The performance-based exhibition took place on the streets of Jinze in April 2018, lasting about an hour.

This work also addressed the challenges faced by a global nomadic artist, whose practice often involves navigating applications, permissions, and networks. The intention behind Gallery Go was to create an autonomous art platform that was even more mobile and lightweight than Mølleskov's other nomadic white canvas work, House of Wild Wood Woman. Gallery Go was designed to be so transitory that it could move freely, crossing territories, borders, and bridges, reminiscent of how we once roamed the forests of the world. This platform required no approval or censorship. If questioned, she would simply reply, "I am just walking around in my new dress."
