Copenhagen Contemporary | An Immersive Experience with Few Crowds

Copenhagen Contemporary currently features four main exhibitions. 💁‍♀️ I personally enjoyed the works by British artist Emma Talbot. The theme is “Are you a living thing that is dying, or a dying thing that is living?” Her works have bright, playful colors as the background; the subjects are swimming or floating humans and animals, prompting a rethinking of the relationship between humans and the natural environment, and the position of living beings in the universe. The video in the exhibition hall is very interesting, turning her static paintings into stop-motion animation through storytelling. 💙 James Turrell’s Aftershock is also worth a visit, it’s a permanent exhibition. You need to queue at the entrance, with 8 people entering every 15 minutes. No phones or cameras are allowed inside. In a space of about 80 square meters, a strobe light technique makes you feel enveloped in halos and colors, which can be disorienting at first, with the boundaries of the walls seeming to disappear. You’ll gradually adapt. The principle is that when your eyes are exposed to intense streams of color, your brain starts to produce hallucinations to make sense of it. 🥰 On the first floor, Marta Minujín’s exhibition offers many interactive and experiential parts, like trampolines and color vertigo rooms. Additionally, on the second floor at the Art workshop, you can create with wax (I was surprised by the extensibility and plasticity of wax; we made flowers and little mushrooms, which can be colored after shaping), or paint with gouache. The artworks you create can be taken home~ ⏰ Open from 11am to 18pm (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays) 🔖 Student ticket 95 dkk, Adult ticket 140 dkk #MyGalleryVisit #CopenhagenTravel #CopenhagenMuseum #ModernArtStroll #CopenhagenContemporary
