In the spring of 2025, Horsens Art Museum will present the solo exhibition, Almost not spoken yet, featuring the artist duo, Hesselholdt & Mejlvang.

With Almost not spoken yet, Hesselholdt (b. 1974) and Mejlvang (b. 1976) creates a profound and meaningful experience that explores our shared connection and humanity. Almost not spoken yet speaks a language that transcends the vocabulary of division, which often dominates in the contemporary world. The exhibition focuses on our common humanity, compassion, and care, aiming to create an inclusive “We.”

For the exhibition, Hesselholdt & Mejlvang are creating a brand-new sensory installation combining visual, tactile, and auditory elements. It seeks to convey a poetic reflection on the bonds that unite us across cultures and generations. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on our shared history and future. Almost not spoken yet aims to promote an understanding of how cultural exchange and migration have enriched our visual and artisanal expressions over time. By highlighting the many threads that connect us, Hesselholdt & Mejlvang hope to strengthen the sense of global unity and humanity.

The exhibition is generously supported by the Augustinus Fonden, The Danish Arts Foundation, Insero Horsens, Knud Højgaards Fond and Overretssagfører L. Zeutens Mindelegat.

In 2021, Horsens Art Museum acquired the work Native Exotic, Normal / Circle of Flags by Hesselholdt & Mejlvang from 2016 for the museum’s collection. Today, the piece is located just outside Horsens Art Museum in the surrounding park, Lunden.
