'Vi låner af hinanden' (We borrow from each other) is a visual essay, a pile of fan posters, an art history - and an examination of what we build on, who we stand on the shoulders of. It's a tribute to the artists who have paved the way, been brave and controversial in their time, so today it has become a little easier not to be an oil painting male artist.

Through an intuitive and formative work with the collage as a method, Maja Liisberg Poulsen has composed and intertwined feminist works from art history, landscapes, text, figurations with a private and personal voice (in danish unfortunetly).

Despite the fact that the publication has a composed course, it is an unattached format and an invitation to the viewer / reader to be co-creative. You can try further, follow out and swap around and in that way create new connections between the text and the images. You can take one of the pages out and hang it on the wall.

Although the works referred to are iconic and acclaimed, the stories must be told over and over again, for there is still inequality in art. Vulva displays and menstrual blood are still controversial, taboo and disgraced. Therefore, it may seem necessary to pull artists out of the hat, to insist that there should be space. And to point out that ‘no one creates alone’. The myth of the genius is punctures in a festive gathering, for there is always a context, a structure, a heritage.
