Anders Morgenthaler: Art must give a voice to nature

Anders Morgenthaler (b. 1972) has many titles. Cartoonist, author, film director and climate activitst, to name a few. Early in life, Morgenthaler found a love for drawing, which became his preferred language and form of expression. Drawing has followed him ever since, as has the desire to bring art to children's level of understanding. "In some way, I hope that art created especially for children has the ability to manifest nature as both present and relevant to them." Morgenthaler takes children seriously. Very seriously. And with the character, Kastanje, he has created a universe driven by imagination, fascination, and curiosity towards nature. This extends a broader political aim to expand wild nature in Denmark, where children should know about nature and what it consists of. In the interview, Morgenthaler talks about the path from his first drawing towards the final book. He also tells about his artistic journey; his early encounter with drawing, his educational journey in provincial Denmark, the AI revolution, working with watercolors, his view on the future, and the role of art in it. The interview is published in connection to the children's exhibition ANDERS MORGENTHALER: THE ADVENTURES OF KASTANJE THROUGH THE FOREST (1.5.-17.8.25) in collaboration with the Danish Society for Nature Conservation. __________________________________ Anders Morgenthaler (f. 1972) har mange titler. Tegner, forfatter, filminstruktør og klimaaktivist for blot at nævne nogle. Tidligt i sit liv fandt Morgenthaler en kærlighed til tegningen, der blev hans foretrukne sprog og udtryksform. Tegningen har fulgt ham siden, og det samme har ønsket om at bringe kunsten ned i børnehøjde. ”På en eller anden måde håber jeg, at kunsten i børnehøjde kan gøre naturen nærværende”. Morgenthaler tager børn alvorligt. Meget alvorligt. Og med karakteren Kastanje har han skabt et univers drevet af fantasi, fascination og nysgerrighed på naturen. For børn skal lære naturen og alt, hvad den består af, at kende som del af et større mål om at udbrede den vilde natur i Danmark. Vejen fra første streg til færdig bog fortæller Morgenthaler om i dette interview. Sideløbende kommer han omkring sin kunstneriske rejse; det tidlige møde med tegningen, dannelsesrejsen i provinsen, AI-revolutionen, arbejdet med akvarel samt synet på fremtiden og kunstens rolle heri. Interviewet bringes i forbindelse med børneudstillingen ANDERS MORGENTHALER: KASTANJE PÅ EVENTYR GENNEM SKOVBUNDEN (1.5.-17.8.25) i samarbejde med Danmarks Naturfredningsforening. __________________________________ Copyright: Museum Jorn
