FOIS is the first solo exhibition by the Danish artist Rasmus Søndergaard Johannsen in Frankfurt am Main. FOIS (French for “time”) also embodies the overarching theme of the exhibition: The groups of works exhibited, Patterns (2020-2021), Lineated Luminary (2015-2019) and the new work Wound (2022), all have a repetitive moment in common. This spans the magic of the “première fois” – the first iteration of a pattern, the first manifestation of an action – and the “dernière fois”, the last time: a point of completion and finalisation when things come to a halt. Extending between these two times, Rasmus Søndergaard Johannsen’s works describe a rhythm that reflects the specific characteristics of producing and designing textile art while also affording space to the symbolic charge of its materials.
