Lives and works in Copenhagen
In Ann Lislegaard’s work, experiences of simulated spheres are created by means of interdisciplinary hybrids and connections — between architecture and cinema, between fictional narratives, and between human beings, machines, and animals. In Lislegaard’s work, experiences of simulated spheres are created by means of interdisciplinary hybrids and connections — between architecture and cinema, between fictional narratives, and between human beings, machines, and animals. In this context, which draws on the historical residues of culture and technology while building on feminist gender theories, the boundaries between the real and the imagined are blurred. Concrete and simulated worlds interpenetrate and are reorganized within one another, a world within a world within a world. After decades in New York Lislegaard now lives and works in Copenhagen.

Born 1987, Copenhagen, Denmark
Lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark
Benedikte Bjerre works conceptually with sociological phenomena in a versatile practice focusing on sculpture and installation which reflect on the current state of society. She consistently examines sculptural qualities in relation to the architecture of a given space. The artist continually uses observations from her everyday life, as she engages in how the beholders experience their surroundings.

Lives and works in Denmark
Kirsten Ortwed’s painting, object art and sculpture originate in the early 70’s when she actively participated in the various post-minimalist and conceptualist movements. Her work creates a direct interaction with their surrounding space, often without the need for pedestals or frames. They disrupt and transform the space they occupy, shaping it through actions like perforating, folding, and compressing. This manipulation of space is inseparable from a manipulation of time. Her works are marked not only by the physical space they inhabit, but also by traces of time—whether through the process of creation or the idea that presence always carries a shadow or past. Ortwed’s sculptures are thus more than objects in space; they serve as signs, reflecting the temporal nature of the experience and the layers of meaning hidden beneath the visible form. Combination and relationship between form and material is essential to Ortwed’s artistic practice, just as she examines the relationship between form and space with special attention to process and transformation.

Lives and works in Copenhagen
Magnus Andersen draws abundantly from a wide range of art historical and popular cultural references, spanning Flemish still lifes,17th-century baroque and classical music, to color field painting and advertising aesthetics. Andersen renegotiates mundane and easily recognizable signifiers of contemporary visual culture and deliberately exaggerates them to a point of uncanniness. Cultivating humor and seriousness equally, his work engages with an accelerated nostalgia emblematic of post-industrial consumerism.

bio
1976 Born in Aarhus, Denmark
Lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark
As a prominent exponent of an art that emphasises connection, juxtaposition and relationality, Simon Dybbroe Møller’s works engage with the relationship between the weighty materiality of sculpture, and their photographic representation and mediation. Dybbroe Møller explores what sculpture is or can be, in a world that is dictated by the photographic; a world where our economy and attention has shifted from the object to the image. Rather than settling into one medium or style, he continuously probes new territories, moving between film, photography, found objects, sculpture, writing, curating and teaching. Simon Dybbroe Møller was born in Aarhus, DK in 1976 and has been Professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts School of Sculpture in Copenhagen since 2019. He co-runs the exhibition space AYE-AYE and curates the performance series Why Words Now.
