Architecture and the creative mental space of art come together in Kaspar Bonnén’s site-specific works at Aarhus School of Architecture.

In a frontal view, a young woman meets the beholder’s gaze straight on, her arms folded behind her head. The Golden Age artist Wilhelm Marstrand’s Maria is clearly posing as instructed by the great painter, but the artwork is also interesting from a modern-day gender-conscious perspective.

John Kørner’s painting Dronning Louises Bro (Queen Louise’s Bridge) was recently installed at the Danish Student House in Paris. The piece touches on something that is immediately recognizable to many of the Danish students staying at the residence. At the same time, it points far beyond its central Copenhagen location and all the way to Paris.

Harald Giersing’s Balletscene (Ballet Scene), a principal example of Danish modernist art, will now be on public display at SMK – National Gallery of Denmark, where it joins the museum’s existing collection of 26 works by Giersing. Thus, the painting, which was formerly in a private collection, can now finally be seen and admired by everyone.
