After a longer pause we are back with a fantastic conversation the artist Nathan Gulick, visiting town from LA for his solo show, Waiting Room, at C4 Projects. We met and had a live recording at C4, and it was both a lot of fun and very interesting. Nathan is eloquent and engaged, and we got a ….
Read MoreAnd we are back! Thanks for hanging in there. Today we have a conversation we’ve been really excited to share with you, with the artist FOS, also known by his government name of Thomas Poulsen. This talk was recorded during the summer when he had a quite ambitious show up at Gallery Nils Stærk here in Copenhagen, and it turned out to…
Read MoreThe warm months have fully settled upon the land, and with every Danish summer comes the yearly tradition of Roskilde Festival, one of the world’s largest music festivals. Around 130,000 people attend the festival, which is run by a non-profit organization. For many years now they have also had a surprisingly ambitious art zone during the festival, with running themes and critical commentary on social and political issues. This year, for example…
Read MoreWe are back again today with another super interesting talk, with the artist group Mathias & Mathias. They had a show up at Overgaden a little while back, and we were fortunate enough to have the chance to sit down and talk to them. It was a great conversation, touching on many topics, with a lot of behind the scenes talk, which is always interesting. It’s good to hear from working artists what…
Read MoreWe had the great pleasure of meeting and speaking with Yazan Khalili last week, who is the winner of the extract prize 2015 from GLStrand, and just opened his solo show there, by the name of No One Saw The Colours. We had a really fantastic talk about making art, politics, representation and working under tough conditions. Yazan is very dedicated to...
Read MoreWelcome back as we creep steadily towards episode 100 here at The Undergang Armchair. There is no hiding that this is a tough moment in time, so we figured it was time to release a positive and forward thinking talk with the exceptional artist Jacob Kirkegaard. He came by last year to talk about his work and a great many other subjects, and we were blown away by his...
Read MoreWell just like that we have reached the final episode of the year. I just had a great talk with Seimi Nørregaard, an artist who I was not previously acquainted with but who I’m certainly glad to now know. I wanted to release this one right away because she currently has a show up at Overgaden, which will be up until the 8th of Jan. So how about some art over the vacation huh? She is a hard artist to pin down, and we certainly talk about that, but she comes from a...
Read MoreWe couldn’t be more excited to bring you this talk with Esmeralda Kosmatopoulos and Sean Naftel today. They are the masterminds behind the show, Mastering The Art of Contemporary Art, which just had it’s run here in Denmark at Aarhus Kunsthal, and it’s simply fantastic. They created a TV Kitchen in the space, invited a row of artists on, and produced a series of...
Read MoreToday we have a dose of calm energy and thoughtfulness by the name of Rune Bosse to combat whatever crazy is nipping at your heels. His practice often manifests installations or is performative, and usually with an eye to nature, and it's beautiful work. We only recently saw it for the first time, but it immediately struck us in some of the same ways that Felix Gonzales-Torres' work does...
Read MoreToday we have the pleasure of sharing a talk with you about an underrepresented place in the art world, the middle. Troels Aagaard joins us for a candid and honest talk not only about his life and work, but also about being at a certain, often overlooked, point in ones career. There is so much talk about those just starting and those who've reached the top, but what about the...
Read MoreThe installation & sound artist duo Vinyl, Terror & Horror are making some of the most atmospheric and plain old outer-limits works right now. They came to our attention based off of their stellar installation at Gether Contemporary in the spring, called Tanz Mal Wieder. Their works are tough to describe, but such a pleasure to experience. They cut up and fuse together record players, vinyl and all sorts of...
Read MoreToday we are talking graffiti, art and transitions. We have the biggest graffiti and street artist in Denmark on the show today, Husk Mit Navn, which means remember my name in Danish. He is a seriously prolific artist, just take a look at his site to see everything he does. He stays in his studio, which he calls an adult version of his childhood room, and makes drawings, paintings and sculptures about all of...
Read MoreToday we are joined by the unique and certain Lawrence Weiner. As most of you probably know, Lawrence is a prolific and oft exhibited conceptual artist who has a rich body of work behind him. We caught up with him before the opening of his show together with Per Kirkeby here in Copenhagen at Gallery Susanne Ottesen, and he stunned us with his eloquence and his...
