Med installationen, GLUCOGENESIS, transformeres Studio17 til et scenarie, inspireret af blandingen af et feltlaboratorie og en byggeplads.
Her fortæller GLUCOGENESIS historien om menneskets mulige eller umulige overlevelse på fremmede planeter ved hjælp af science fiction universets forestilling om terraformering: en teknologisk jordomdannelses-teknik, som skal hjælpe mennesket på fjerne og ukendte planeter med at gøre stedet beboeligt ved at efterligne miljøet her på jorden.
Med effekten af glukosesukker som usynligt hovedelement i og omkring skulpturerne, er GLUCOGENESIS en form for skabelse. En ‘sød begyndelse’, som ligger og venter i plast inkubations kamrene, i de fugtige fragmenterede klippeformationer, men aldrig er kommet nogen vegne.
Støttet af kulturrådet.
Dan Brown Brønlund, beskæftiger sig med substanser som krop, jord, det levende og det ikke-levende, og mulighederne i sammenblandingen. Her udforsker Dan, hvad vores primære behov og moderne guilty pleasures består af og bruger disse som effekter i sine værker. Gennem sin kunstneriske praksis er der et ønske om at vække en form for nysgerrighed for omgivelserne, ved at modvirke de materialer, de indeholder. Denne nysgerrighed ses ofte i de skulpturelle værker, hvor forskellige og ofte utraditionelle materialer mødes.

With the installation GLUCOGENESIS Studio17 is transformed into a scenario, inspired by the mix of a field laboratory and a construction site.
Here, GLUCOGENESIS tells the story of man’s possible or impossible survival on alien planets using the science fiction universe’s notion of terraformation: a technological earth transformation technique that will help humans on distant and unknown planets make the place habitable by mimicking the environment here on earth.
With the effect of glucose sugar as the invisible main element in and around the sculptures, GLUCOGENESIS is a form of creation. A ‘sweet beginning’, lying in wait in the plastic incubation chambers, in the damp fragmented rock formations, but never getting anywhere.

Dan Brown Brønlund deals with substances such as body, soil, the living and the non-living, and the possibilities of the mix. Here, Dan explores what our primary needs and modern guilty pleasures consist of and uses these as effects in his works. Through its artistic practice, there is a desire to arouse a kind of curiosity for the surroundings, by counteracting the materials they contain. This curiosity is often seen in the sculptural works, where different and often untraditional materials meet.
