Today 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 are joined by Kirsten Dehlholm, the founder and artistic director for the groundbreaking performance group Hotel Pro Forma, who have been staging extravagant and spectacular performances for 30 years in Denmark and abroad. Her group is currently exhibiting their first ever museum style show at GLstrand here in Copenhagen, and it's well worth a visit, especially for...
Read MoreToday we are rebroadcasting one of the best conversations we've ever had on, the venerable Darren Almond. He spoke with us last year on the eve of his opening at Gallery Bo Bjerggaard. He was sharp, he was open, and he was kind. Probably not incidentally, he is a fascinating and thoughtful artist, and he makes great work. Put all these things together, and you get a...
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 MoreThis is our first ever live recording in front of an audience, and we have some great guests on as well. Augusta Atla & Nikos Branidis were kind enough to sit down with us and a small audience at the Museums Building and talk about their show there. We covered a lot of interesting topics, both about their show and past, but also about...
Read MoreDo you guys also miss old school shmack talking? Then join us for a refreshing talk with the unfettered Daniel Richter. It's nice to hear somebody speak openly in the normally quite guarded art world, and it's even nicer when it's somebody who has something to say. Daniel Richter is obviously a talented painter, and he has a great way of talking about art & life, and as far we can tell...
Read MoreWe are still playing catch up around the headquarters here, but today's guest, Ryan Gander, certainly isn't. The extremely prolific and hard working artist took the time to sit down with us and talk on the occasion of his opening at David Risley Gallery. We had a warmhearted talk about not being able to turn it off, about the distinction between...
Read MoreThe indestructible Rose Eken graces the armchair today to talk about her current show at V1 Gallery. Rose's works deal with the artists space, both literally and internally, and the relationship of that space to the world at large, both the art world and otherwise. She works in many different materials, most of them very...
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 MoreHi gang, get ready for this one. Jes Brinch, one of the great art warriors of our time, took the time to come on the show and the results were just what we needed. In a time of increasing monoculture in art (and perhaps life), it's a pleasure to speak with an artist like Jes, who is tirelessly fighting the good fight for a stranger, more fun and more chaotic art practice and world. He holds no punches, and accordingly gets away with...
Read MoreDisplacement is the title of the show today, and the Swedish artist Runo Lagomarsino is our distinguished guest. The name comes of course from our talk, and it relates to something dear to the heart, to home, and to something important in art. His story and family history are very interesting, and they are very much reflected in his...
Read MoreToday’s guest is perhaps the kindest man in the art world, Bo Christian Larsson. He’s a magician of art, he works with his hands and his heart, and he’s a pleasure to talk to. He has lived an adventurous and curious life, and you can see that reflected in his way of making art and living life. Some (like us) could be jealous of the adventures he...
Read MoreHi gang. Hoo boy, what a show we got for you today. The immense talent Robert McNally took a moment to sit down with us and share some of his thoughts and it was, if we may say so, really fun. It's a pleasure to speak with an artist like him, an outspoken and honest man, and it's all backed up by one of the hardest work ethics we've seen. The world of art can sometimes be a lonely and understated place, so was...
Read MoreHello friends, we are back! And yes, we are still here to talk about art. Yet again, we have a great guest on the program today, the very thoughtful Christoph Ruckhäberle. He is of course the renown German painter out of the Leipzig school, if you follow such things, and he was here in town for the opening of his solo show at Gallery Nicolai Wallner. There is a lot of great stuff in this talk, but some 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 MoreThis week we talk with the talented graphic novelist Halfdan Pisket. He is two-thirds of the way through his trilogy of books about his father, and joins us to talk about the long road leading to this point. His second book, Kakerlak, just came out, and has been garnering critical interest here in Denmark. We have a mature discussion about...
Read MoreWalking thinking walking. Today on the show we are joined by the artist and art magician Matthew Stone, who we caught up with on the eve of his show opening here in Copenhagen at V1 Gallery. It was a cold evening, and because time was short we ended up going for a walk together to the central station in Copenhagen in order to...
Read MoreWe live in a strange world, and an even stranger art world. Luckily William Powhida is here to firmly poke a stick in the eye of the art world, and we love it. We were lucky enough to get to sit down with him right before the preview of his exhibition here in Copenhagen, at Gallery Poulsen. We got to talk about his work, the art world, and the simple joys of quality shit talking. But really this episode is an in-depth look at...
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...
Read MoreStone upon stone upon stone. The name comes from ideas that today's guest, Erik Steffensen, lays out for us; ideas about the basis of photography, about what it means, and about what making art means. It’s a really engaging and absorbing talk, and we encourage you to listen with your ears and your mind. He works mostly in...
