Hello everybody, welcome back once again. We are back in the swing of things again here, and have a fantastic guest on the show today, Kenneth Balfelt. For those who don’t know, his practice is one which truly is social, and it’s really incredible. The level at which he engages with the world around him is...
Read MoreHere we are, back again! How is everybody? We’ve been trotting about all summer, but are finally home in Copenhagen, and chomping at the bit to get going again. We have some new projects in the works, which we are excited to unveil for y’all in the coming months. But more importantly, we have Jesper Carlsen on the show today. His exhibition at Martin Asbæk Gallery unfortunately just came down, but we managed to grab him and hear about the show before it did. He has a diverse...
Read MoreHello friends, we felt that we owed you another episode before we drift off to summer vacation here, so here we are. Today we have Peter Voss-Knude on the show, this was recorded live at Overgaden together with the director there, Marete Jankowski, who was also a guest on this program back in episode number 75. Overgaden is fantastic exhibition space, and you can...
Read MoreWe are back with our special 100th episode! It’s been over three years of this program, 100 guests, and a lot of ups and downs. We are thankful to each and every one of you, as well as to all the galleries who have been supportive along the way. Did we mention that Tal R is the special guest for the 100th episode? He needs no introduction right? He has a huge show up at Louisiana, and you should go see it if you haven’t. We talked about...
Read MoreWe are talking adventure and exploration today with Klaus Thymann, a tremendously interesting fellow. He is a photographer, an artist, he founded a non-profit called Project Pressure, and an adventurer, so we invited him on the program because we figured he would have many compelling things to say, and indeed he did. We talked about...
Read MoreToday we have a big one folks, we visited Supermarket Art Fair in Stockholm last month, and this is a compilation of our conversations with some of the many nice folks we met. It was a lot, there were lots of exhibitors, and as usual it’s really hard to figure out when is best to try to talk to people, and of course you try...
Read MoreGreetings friends, we’re here with a quick bonus episode before the Easter holiday. We were up in Stockholm recently to check out both the Market and Supermarket art fairs, and ended up meeting all sorts of cool people while we were there. For example, we met with two of our colleagues while we were there, Jenny Danielsson and Oscar Carlson, who have a...
Read MoreHello everybody, how are we looking out there? You guys feeling the beginning of Brexit, or just the warm breeze of spring knocking on the door? We have the talented Eva Stenram on the show today, who is a very interesting artist working mostly within photographic mediums. She is a swede living in London, and you’ve almost certainly seen her work before. It utilizes found imagery, but in a much...
Read MoreHello friends, welcome indeed to another episode, we are creeping up on towards 100 episodes here. The show has been going for over 3 years, and we are thankful to each and every one of you who have been along for the ride. We have the very interesting Matthias Borello on today, he is a writer, curator and editor and many of you...
Read MoreToday we fight back at the tyranny of reality together with Ulrik Heltoft. He is, in our opinion, one of the more interesting artists here in Denmark, and is also sneakily very influential here. He teaches, he makes art, and he produces the some of the wildest things you’ve never heard about. If you look at his work on a international level, you’ll start to see...
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 MoreAnd just like that we are back again! Happy time related holiday folks, we hope you had a good one. We are blazing into the new year with this fantastic talk with two of the folks from SixtyEight Art Institute, based here in Copenhagen. For those who might not know SixtyEight is a forward-thinking curatorial and research platform which is run by some tremendously engaged folks who are thinking about art and how it can interact with...
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 are of course here to talk to A Kassen, the conceptual powerhouse of an artists group. I had the pleasure of talking to half the group, Tommy Petersen and Søren Petersen. I had a lot of questions for them, in the way I usually do, and I found that perhaps at the end of the day their works really speak for themselves. They have a really interesting practice, but in certain cases a...
Read MoreHello friends, welcome back, welcome back. We have a fantastic, if a little different than usual, talk for you today. We are joined by Lena Mech, who works in a grey area between independent game design and art, and we found it to be very compelling to hear about her practice. One could perhaps say that one of the complaints often leveled against the art world is it’s, correct or not, perceived separation from other spheres of life and society. Talking to Lena really highlighted for us some of the opportunities available for...
Read MoreHello gang. Well here we are, episode 89, just gliding ever so softly into number 90. Today we have a fun one for you, We think you will enjoy it, it’s Olaf Breuning everybody! We’ve been fans of his special world for a number of years now, and finally had the chance to sit down with him and hear about it. All we can say is that some people just have a personal vision, and there is no...
Read MoreThis week we have a man who’s production exists outside of any single plane of work, it’s Cali Thornhill Dewitt y’all. He has run an independent record label, he makes clothes, worked as a nanny for Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, and of course, is an artist in his own right. He’s a hard guy to pin down, and he’s a very thoughtful man, so it was a pleasure to hear about...
Read MoreThe guest on todays episode is somebody we’ve heard a lot about throughout the years, but through our own intellectual laziness had not seen much work by. We can only assume you, dear listener, have been smarter and more on top of it than we have because Rasmus Høj Mygind has been out there getting good work done, helping run...
Read MoreHello friends, is everybody enjoying this late summer weather in Copenhagen, making sure to talk with strangers about it? Today we are joined by the poet, translator and artist extraordinaire Morten Søndergaard. We had a relaxing sit down on a beautiful deck on a sunny day at the Louisiana Museum here in Denmark, looking out over the water, listening to the waves, watching people swim, and talked about words, art and life. It was glorious. He is a...
Read MoreThe inaugural edition of the CODE Art Fair was this last week weekend, and we were there with a booth in order to meet the art going public and having some talks with folks working at the fair. It was certainly a mixed result in many ways, but not without it’s successes. Our guess is that many who were there could say the same thing. CODE is ambitious, and it was interesting to see all the new...
