Discover ‘Børges Værelse’ (Børge's Room) in a creative, recycling-based universe
A personal artist's world
The exhibition ‘Børges Værelse’ provides an intimate insight into the life and art of artist Børge Christiansen. Here you will not find a traditional white gallery, but a room filled with his belongings, recycled items, poems, three-dimensional paintings and sculptures. It is art created from found materials — e.g. old boards, slate, scrap — transformed into colourful and imaginative works.
Everyday life as art — with recycling and storytelling
Børge Christiansen worked sustainably with recycling: he found things on the street, in containers or elsewhere, and gave them new life through painting, sculpture and poetry. The things we thought we knew from everyday life — old bowls, boards, boxes, everyday objects — have been transformed into meaningful art in his hands.
For children and adults: Dialogic experience and creative workshop
The exhibition invites both children and adults to immerse themselves. There are worksheets for dialogical reading and reflection, so that you can reflect together on art, everyday objects and creative recycling. After your visit, you can borrow bin bags and go exploring in the local area for ‘lost treasures’ — and perhaps create something yourself in a workshop inspired by Børge's spirit.
Combine with a trip to Lohals and Langeland
After an experience in ‘Børges Værelse’, it is obvious to take a walk in Lohals' cosy streets, visit the harbour, enjoy nature in the forest or on the beach — or take a short trip around Langeland. This provides a nice balance between creative immersion and tranquillity, which fits well with a holiday on Langeland.
Practical information
The exhibition is located on the first floor of the LOOK & FEEL shop in Lohals. Visits can be made on selected days throughout the year — or by appointment. It is possible to combine your visit with creative activities and a trip around the local area.
