Folly & pop From the very outset of their collaboration, Randi & Katrine have been interested in a wealth of historical phenomena. Drawing on cultural history and popular culture as well as on devices from pop art, the two artists appropriate imagery and motifs and make them their own. For example, they have modified a building in Søndre Havn in Køge with their The Barn (2015), thereby enabling audiences to experience a shift to somewhere else – perhaps to a barn in America. They found inspiration in the US phenomenon of Barn quilts: quilt patterns painted onto oversized square boards and mounted on barn façades. With their geometric designs these colourful squares are reminiscent of op art – abstract art that emphasises optical effects. Quilt trails are routes that take you past decorated façades, inviting you to view ordinary buildings in new ways.
