Land is subsiding and slipping away. Lakes recede, lakebeds collapse and swelling mud flows towards the oceans at an ever-increasing pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">For millennia, the Earth system has behaved in a way that was largely stable. Until now. Human-induced global heating has set everything into motion, and the most dramatic changes to the landscape are currently unfolding in the Arctic and Antarctic, where the pace is so rapid that scientists are struggling to keep up with the mapping of new biochemical topographies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">For several years, artist Rikke Luther has worked with climate change in her practice-based research\u2014most recently with a specific focus on mud and sediments, and how we, as humans, attempt to comprehend the accelerating transformations that our Earth system is undergoing. As part of her postdoctoral project <em>Ocean-Lands: Mud in the Earth System<\/em>, for which Kunsthal Aarhus is a partner host institution, Luther now presents her research in the new exhibition <em>Here&#8217;s&#8230; Mud In Your Eye<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">\u2018IT TAKES A WIZARD\u2019<br>The solo exhibition <em>Here&#8217;s&#8230; Mud In Your Eye<\/em> \u2013 Mud in the Earth System features photographic and textile works, but takes its point of departure in the films <em>Dust &amp; Flow: Muds, Movement, Time, Scale<\/em>, and <em>Here&#8217;s&#8230; Mud In Your Eye<\/em> which brings together recent scientific research on mud, environmental DNA and the concept of \u2018deep time\u2019. The films contains footage from Luther\u2019s research expeditions to Greenland, Gotland, Svalbard, Iceland and The North Atlantic. Through a combination of personal and scientific reflections and a poetic, richly imaginative aesthetic, viewers are given insight into the vast changes unfolding in the Arctic\u2014and perhaps even a new ethical and aesthetic language for the unfathomable environmental shifts we are facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The films are a thought-provoking exploration of our rapidly shifting world\u2014one in which not only science speaks, but also the figure of the \u2018wizard\u2019; for that is what it takes to grasp and contain the complex interplay of mudscapes, movement, scale and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">FROM THE LOCAL TO THE UNIVERSAL\u2014AND BACK AGAIN <br>While AHC has served as artistic host institution for Rikke Luther\u2019s practice-based postdoctoral research, the project has been scientifically anchored\u2014not within a faculty of the humanities, as is often the case for artistic research\u2014but at the natural sciences institute ROCS at the Universities of Copenhagen and Iceland, led by Professor Katherine Richardson, former member of the Danish Council on Climate Change (2019\u20132025) and head of the Planetary Boundaries research project. Luther has also collaborated closely with biochemist Karina Krarup Sand from the Globe Institute, whose research explores the intersections of genetics, geology and archaeology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">It is from their groundbreaking research that <em><em>Here&#8217;s&#8230; Mud In Your Eye<\/em><\/em> takes much of its inspiration. Additionally, the films draw on empirical material gathered by Luther on her research journeys, and on a particular conceptual approach to the idea of \u2018greater scale\u2019, inspired by anthropologist Anna Tsing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"729\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/rikkeluther.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/TheresMudInYourEyelow-729x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rikkeluther.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/TheresMudInYourEyelow-729x1024.jpg 729w, https:\/\/rikkeluther.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/TheresMudInYourEyelow-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/rikkeluther.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/TheresMudInYourEyelow-768x1079.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rikkeluther.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/TheresMudInYourEyelow-1093x1536.jpg 1093w, https:\/\/rikkeluther.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/TheresMudInYourEyelow.jpg 1181w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-5fdb10e5 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wp-container-content-5fd69529 is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-627337ab wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-dd225191 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-text-annotation is-style-text-annotation--2\">About <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-subtitle has-small-font-size is-style-text-subtitle--3\">Rikke Luther is an artist and researcher.

Those once secure muds are now in motion. Glaciers and inland ice melt, as mudflats and swamps reclaim space from human occupation. Permafrost melts and sinks, as elsewhere land slips, lakes recede and their beds collapse.

Its production is negatively linked to climate change, and its aesthetic to financial speculation and the inequality of what Colin Crouch has termed the \u2018post-democratic\u2019 era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Once the concrete aesthetic spoke the language of progress, universal rights and a better society. Today, that disrupted political aesthetic demands cultural analysis, just as much as the carbon footprint and techno-fossils of concrete demand scientific attention. What does the aesthetic of concrete mean in a globalised world that regularly teeters at the edge of financial crisis and invites a certain environmental one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The goal of this project is to analyse the historical movement from the Modern era of universal rights and democracy, toward a new era dominated by the global circulation of finance, and the effect that has on aesthetic language and meaning. This will be explored by examining the contrast between the history of concrete within art and cultural practice in the immediate post World War Two era in Europe and the aesthetic and ideological meaning of concrete in today\u2019s globalised economy. That race for economic resources will partly be mapped in the zones of the \u2018Global Commons\u2019 &#8211; zones outside the borders of national states, such as the \u2018High Sea and Deep Sea Bed\u2019. Those areas are deeply affected by the \u2018resource wars\u2019, especially over the sand used for concrete production. What does such extraction mean for economics, political life and, crucially, the environment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The project is theoretical and practical. The theoretical aspect of the research will focus on the social and ideological beliefs that dominated each era to build a picture of how the cultural meaning of concrete has changed. The histories that differentiate one place, or site of action, from another are crucial. The democratic context that once gave Modernist concrete it\u2019s meaning in Scandinavia contrasts sharply with the post-democratic environment of today\u2019s Special Economic Zones.
