Two Persons Meet

11 Oct 2008 - 11 Jan 2009

Six well-known motives from art history – by Rembrandt, Picasso etc. - and contemporary Danish artists have the meeting among humans in focus. The younger artists worked with paraphrases to the strong motives of the older artists. They wrestled with their colleagues in art history, showed respect, and dissociated themselves from them. See works by Jørgen Steinicke (b. 1949), Carsten Frank (b. 1954), Karen T. Christensen (b. 1967) and Bjørn Eriksen (b. 1957), who asked themselves about what you as an artist can do today, and discussed this question with colleagues and friends, among others art historian Leo Tandrup.
