With Every Day Matters Faurschou Foundation presents a group exhibition of international contemporary artists, each of whom has made a mark in an intelligent way with politically and aesthetically surprising works.

The artists all take their point of departure in the experiences of everyday life. From their various specific geographical starting points and political, social or religious contexts, their works are a combination of sociopolitical commentary, humorous gesture, poetic reflection and / or aesthetic strength.

The title of the exhibition, Every Day Matters, forms the framework for works that play against the fundamental existential condition that every day is important, and that reality has forced its way in as an artistic necessity. In areas with political unrest or other socioeconomic challenges to human conditions of existence, art is often influenced by these circumstances. The artists' individual need and social commitment have both exerted a crucial influence on their works—through art they work with their past and present.

The participating artists are Adel Abdessemed, Kader Attia, Yto Barrada, David Claerbout, Omer Fast, Shilpa Gupta, Emily Jacir, Christian Lemmerz, Liu Wei, Moataz Nasr, Rivane Neuenschwander, Gabriel Orozco, Damián Ortega and Raqs Media Collective. The exhibition thus represents artists from the Middle East, the USA and Europe as well as South America and Asia.
