MATERIAL CONSIDERATIONS – Sustainable fashion at Koldinghus
Extravagant haute couture made of ecological materials. Ordinary everyday clothing made in factories abroad, where the workers are treated well and paid a reasonable wage. Designer-dresses crocheted using the entrails of old cassette tapes. And good old jeans with a little eco-friendly mark on one leg. Sustainable clothing is one of the strongest trends in the field of fashion. Bono from U2, Stella McCartney, Helena Christensen and many other celebrities are part of the environmentally-friendly clothing bandwagon. Soon there will be clothing made from sustainable materials available everywhere – and at an affordable price.
In 2009 the UN's major climate-change conference will be held in Copenhagen, and the main exhibition to be held by Museet på Koldinghus in the summer of 2009 will therefore also be connected with the theme of climate change. The exhibition will not provide answers to the world's huge environmental questions. But it will raise issues for debate around the concept of sustainability and provide inspiration as to how as consumers we can influence the process through our ordinary choice of purchases in clothes shops. It's a matter of thinking things through.
The exhibition will be shown on the occasion of the Crafts and Design Biennale 2009.

Anton Schrøder. A Kolding painter
Anton Schrøder could be called a Kolding painter par excellence. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, but then returned to his home town and stayed there. He painted his town and its inhabitants as a form of declaration of love to his home environment and its people. Some of his paintings are today displayed in the museums and public offices of the town. But by far the majority are to be found in people's homes in Kolding, where Schrøder is still known and treasured. In this exhibition the museum will endeavour to show a broad range of Anton Schrøder's art.

Danish silversmiths. The “November 1976” exhibition-group comprises a number of the leading designer-silversmiths in Denmark.

And the group's work has in fact contributed to ensuring a future for Danish silver. The Koldinghus Museum has made an agreement with the group to hold an exhibition of new works every second year.

Peder Rasmussen. “Screwball shapes and crackpot tales”
Peder Rasmussen belongs among the original Danish ceramic artists. With a solid background that directly relates back to Thorvald Bindesbøll's innovative ceramics, Peder Rasmussen has developed his own form, in which the pot has lost its original function as a container but has assumed a form as the basis for pictorial story-telling. The pots are therefore often exactly the same shape; it is the images on the outside, not the shapes of the pots, that are significant. What the canvas is to a painter, the clay is to Peder Rasmussen.
