Exhibition
The NORDES 2021 exhibition invites you on a tour through the inner city of Kolding to explore this year’s conference theme Matters of Scale.
The tour contains 8 art and design experiments at 8 different sites that can be experienced live or on-line during the NORDES 2021 conference. At these locations, artists, designers and researchers are exploring the concept of “scale” through temporary urban experiments that attempt to create a dialogue between people passing by – and the site itself.
