Coming Exhibitions
Freedom!
6 September 2013 - 3 August 2014
In 2013 the SMK celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of the world-famous Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard by staging a new exhibition for children. Especially aimed at young visitors, the exhibition Freedom! uses distinctive and important works of art to feed the imagination and invite the children to explore the concept of freedom – just like Kierkegaard himself did.
Tacita Dean
17 January - 18 May 2014
The exhibition shows graphic works by the British artist Tacita Dean (b. 1965). In her work she focuses on memory and on a fascination with things that once were. Tacita Dean was one of the main figures of the wave of Young British Artists who set the agenda for the international art scene in the 1990s. Today Dean lives and works in Berlin. The exhibition shows a number of series of photogravure prints. Photogravure is a special intaglio printmaking method that imbues photographs with a great degree of tactility.
Asger Jorn
28 February - 15 June 2014
Asger Jorn is one of the pre-eminent artists within 20th century Danish art. He made many prominent new departures in his art, which continues to resonate to this day in Denmark and abroad. In 2014 the National Gallery of Denmark will stage a large retrospective celebrating the centennial of the artist’s birth.
