concierge LOUISIANA Ny Nordisk: Arkitektur + Identitet 29. juni – 21. oktober 2012 Louisiana er blevet berømt for sine arkitekturudstillinger, fordi det populære museum formår at kuratere arkitekturen, så man altid oplever den som nærværende, aktuel og vedkommende. Denne gang handler det om et fænomen, som globalt påkalder sig fornyet opmærksomhed, nemlig ideen om det særligt nordiske. Det nordiske er i disse år i høj kurs og dækker alt fra politik og velfærd til køkken og design. Årets arkitekturudstilling kommer med Louisianas bud på, hvad det nordiske egentlig er – og hvad disse ideer betyder for vores udvikling af samfund og kultur i det hele taget. OBS: Tag en let frokost eller en omgang kaffe og kage foran pejsen i det smukke cafélokale efter udstillingen. Og hvis tidsplanen tillader det, så sæt tyve minutter af til en gåtur i museets have. Havudsigt, kunst og arkitektur i skøn forening.

concierge LOUISIANA Edward Kienholz: Five Car Stud 6. juni – 21. oktober 2012 Selvom Five Car Stud blot udgøres af én enkelt installation, er der masser af stof til eftertanke i Edward Kienholz-udstillingen, der handler om hvide menneskers overgreb på sorte i et skræmmende og dramatisk Mississippi Burning-setup. Værket er americana i ren form og lægger sig i forlængelse af Louisianas samling og mangeårige engagement i amerikansk kunst. Edward Kienholz vakte enorm opsigt på Documenta-udstillingen i Kassel i Tyskland, hvor han viste værket første gang i 1972. Siden har installationen været pakket ned på et japansk museum, men nu har Louisiana restaureret hele baduljen og planlagt en omfattende turné fra Europa til Los Angeles for dette værk alene.

LOUISIANA MUSEUM OF MODERN ART Edward Kienholz: Five Car Stud 6 June – 21 October 2012 The Five Car Stud by US artist Edward Kienholz (1927-94) offers a racially charged message in a Mississippi Burning setup. First exhibited at the 1972 Documenta in Kassel, Germany, the art installation has been held in storage at the Japanese museum that owns it until curators from the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, which nurtures a long-standing commitment to American art, brought the installation back onto the art circuit, first at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 2011 and now also at Louisiana before its Europe-wide tour.

concierge ORDRUPGAARD Per Kirkeby og Grønland – det hemmelige reservoir Til 2. september 2012 Ordrupgaards særudstilling om Per Kirkeby og Grønland, Det hemmelige reservoir, viser, hvordan Kirkebys karakteristiske streger og motivverden udvikles i mødet med den grønlandske natur. Udstillingen trækker fine tråde fra den unge geologs optegnelser til den modne malers kunst. Gennem et rigt materiale bestående af skitser, raderinger, akvareller og malerier – og med geologien og dens feltekspeditioner som resonansbund – belyser Ordrupgaard Per Kirkebys kunstneriske og eksistentielle relation til Grønland. Et besøg på Ordrupgaard bør også kombineres med et besøg hos den ikoniske danske arkitekt Finn Juhl, der i år har 100 års jubilæum, og hvis hus er fredet og offentligt tilgængeligt fra Ordrupgaards område. Og nydes bør også Zaha Hadids imponerende tilbygning, der gav det fine, gamle museum et moderne løft i 2005. OBS: I juli og august er Finn Juhls hus åbent på hverdage kl. 15-17, og i weekender og på helligdage kan man komme indenfor, når museet holder åbent.

concierge STATENS MUSEUM FOR KUNST Tyske verdensbilleder 1890-1930 – fra Kollwitz til Nolde 20. april – 12. august 2012 Hvad er sand kunst? Hvordan ser den ud, og hvad handler den om? I Tyskland flettede spørgsmålene sig ind i forsøget på at finde en national identitet – og blandede sig med spørgsmålet om, hvad et folk er, og i særdeleshed hvad det tyske folk er. Udstillingen Tyske verdensbilleder 18901930 slår ned på et tidspunkt i den tyske kunsthistorie, hvor modernismen bliver til, og den forfølger kunstnernes forsøg på at besvare spørgsmålene om både kunst og folk hen over 1890’ernes begejstring for filosoffen Nietzsche til optakten til landets moralske og kulturelle katastrofe i 1930’erne. Værkerne vises i Kobbberstiksamlingen og består af grafik og tegninger. Franz Marc, Creation, (1914)

NATIONAL GALLERY OF DENMARK German World Images 1890 – 1930 – from Kollwitz to Nolde 20 April – 12 August 2012 What is true art? What should it look like? What is art about? In Germany, the question of what constitutes art became intertwined with the search for national identity – who are the German people?

The National Gallery of Denmark Sølvgade 48-50 DK-1307 Copenhagen Tel. +45 3374 8494 www.smk.dk

The exhibition highlights the dawn of Modernism in Germany and traces artistic interpretations of the concepts of art and Volk (‘people’), taking us through the national craze for Nietzsche’s philosophy of the 1890s to the looming moral and cultural disaster of the 1930s.

concierge STATENS MUSEUM FOR KUNST Henri Matisse 14. juli – 28. oktober 2012 Henri Matisse (1869-1954) anses for en af de store mestre i det 20. århundredes kunst. Han er især kendt for sine kraftfulde billeder udført med en sikker sans for farvens og linjens skønhed. Gennem hele livet fastholdt Matisse dog en søgende tilgang til sin kunst og blev ved med at afprøve og udfordre sit eget udtryk.

Henri Matisse: Le Luxe II (1907), © Succession H. Matisse/BilledKunst Copydan 2011

Denne gang sætter landets kunstneriske hovedscene fokus på den særegne undersøgelsesproces, der optog Matisse hele livet. En proces, hvor gentagelse og variation udgør fundamentale træk, som kan bidrage til vores forståelse af Matisse. Med et udvalg af værker, der spænder fra omkring år 1900, da hans metode begyndte at tage selvstændig form, til sidst i 1940’erne, da han nåede et sidste højdepunkt med sit maleri, præsenterer udstillingen alle væsentlige faser i kunstnerens udvikling.

NATIONAL GALLERY OF DENMARK Henri Matisse 14 July – 28 October 2012 Henri Matisse (1869-1954) is hailed as one of the great twentieth-century masters for his powerful imagery and masterly rendering of colour and shape. The exhibition at Denmark’s national gallery traces Matisse’s explorative art, in which he would constantly challenge his own artistic vernacular in endless variations of his motifs. The exhibition spans Matisse’s formative periods, from the turn of the century, when his investigative method was first honed, until the late 1940s, by which time he had reached his artistic zenith.

concierge ØREGAARD MUSEUM Lee Miller og det surrealistiske blik 20. januar – 20. juni 2012 Hun var sin tids mest efterspurgte fotomodel. Hun var muse og model for surrealisterne i Paris i 1930’erne, og via sit tætte forhold til fotografen Man Ray etablerede hun sig i avantgardekunstens inderste cirkler sammen med andre kunstnere som Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, Max Ernst og Joan Miró. Og samtidig var hun selv en fremragende fotograf, der med humor og øje for motivernes surrealistiske træk skabte nogle af det 20. århundredes stærkeste billeder. Øregaard Museums store forårsudstilling er viet til den verdensberømte amerikanske fotograf Lee Miller – en af det 20. århundredes mest betydningsfulde fotografer. Virkelighedens surrealistiske sider tiltrak for alvor Lee Millers opmærksomhed, da hun under Anden Verdenskrig – stik imod USA’s regler for kvinders optræden ved fronten – blev udsendt som krigskorrespondent for Vogue. Billederne fra koncentrationslejren Buchenwald, som Miller udgav under titlen Believe It, gik verden rundt, og hendes indsats som krigskorrespondent var med til at ændre hele fotojournalistikkens rolle.

ØREGAARD MUSEUM Lee Miller’s Surrealist Eye 20 January – 20 June 2012 The spring exhibition at the Øregaard Museum, north of Copenhagen, is dedicated to legendary American photographer Elizabeth ‘Lee’ Miller (1907-77), who, apart from creating some of the most influential images of the twentieth century, was also a successful fashion model. And through her close friendship with photographer Man Ray she also became the muse and model of such avant-garde artists of 1930s Paris (including Surrealists) as Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, Max Ernst and Joan Miró.

Øregaard Museum Ørehøj Allé 2 DK-2900 Hellerup Tel. +45 3998 5790 www.oremus.dk

Lee Miller also enjoyed an acclaimed career as a war correspondent and helped shape today’s photojournalism. During her many WWII frontline assignments, she captured images from the Buchenwald and Dachau concentration camps, which were published in Vogue under the harrowing headline Believe it.

Udstillingen, der med sine 140 værker var den største om Krøyer i nyere tid, rejste 4. maj mod Skagens Museum for at holde sommerferie i det nordjyske – og samtidig tog et repræsentativt udvalg af de mest skattede skagensmalere på storbyferie i Den Hirschsprungske Samling på Stockholmsgade. Med sig tog de en række nøgleværker, der er blevet til udstillingen Til låns – mesterværker fra Skagens Museum, som byder på perler af bl.a. Anna og Michael Ancher, Holger Drachmann, Oscar Björck og Viggo Johansen.

The myth of the Skagen Painters owes much to Norwegian-Danish artist Peder Severin Krøyer (1851-1909), whose retrospective comprising 140 artworks – the largest ever – at the Hirschsprung Collection this spring is now featured at the Skagen Museum in the seaside town that was home to the colony of Naturalist artists. And while Skagen Museum – which is dedicated to the Skagen Painters – hosts the Krøyer exhibition, the Hirschsprung Collection has borrowed a series of masterpieces from the collections of Skagen Museum by other legendary Skagen Painters, including Anna and Michael Ancher, Oscar Björck and Viggo Johansen.

concierge THORVALDSENS MUSEUM Thorvaldsens Museum, der åbnede i 1848, er ikke bare Danmarks ældste, men også rent arkitektonisk en af de mest usædvanlige museumsbygninger, vi har i landet. Og bygningen er således i sig selv et besøg værd. Men når man nu alligevel er der, er der skam også god grund til at kigge sig lidt omkring. For det enestående kunstmuseum på Slotsholmen rummer en imponerende samling af den verdensberømte danske billedhugger Bertel Thorvaldsens (1770-1844) originale skulpturer. Herudover kan publikum opleve en række af kunstnerens håndgjorte tegninger og skitser, ligesom Thorvaldsens omfattende personlige kunstsamling er udstillet i den unikke museumsbygning. Frisen: Jørgen Sonnes billedfrise på Thorvaldsens Museums facade viser, hvordan Bertel Thorvaldsen blev modtaget under stor hyldest af en broget forsamling af byens borgere – kendte som ukendte, gamle som unge, da billedkunstneren i 1838 vendte tilbage til København efter et langt liv i Rom.

THORVALDSENS MUSEUM Thorvaldsen Museum is not only Denmark’s oldest museum, dating back to 1848, but it also offers one of the nation’s most remarkable museum experiences, featuring the Neoclassical sculptures of Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) in balanced contrast to colour-saturated classical interiors. In addition to the artist’s plaster casts and marbles, the museum also showcases his private art collections. Frieze: Artist Jørgen Sonne’s frieze on the Thorvaldsen Museum façade depicts Bertel Thorvaldsen’s jubilant homecoming to Copenhagen in 1838 after many years in Rome.

Det lyder uoverskueligt, men er det langtfra. Til gengæld er det ganske lærerigt at høre historien om en nation, der gik fra at være en europæisk stormagt, som kontrollerede indsejlingen til Østersøen, til et lille land, der i dag må finde sin plads som alliancepartner blandt mange større spillere.

THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF DENMARK History is retold in engaging exhibitions at the National Museum of Denmark, reaching back to the nation’s first Ice Age hunters and on to the Vikings and medieval and Renaissance times to today’s alternative living in Copenhagen’s freetown of Christiania. The permanent exhibition Stories of Denmark 1660-2000 chronicles 350 years of Danish history, from the age of absolute monarchy to the modern welfare state. The 5,000 showcased exhibits covering 37 galleries offer insight into a once mighty seafaring nation that commanded the access to the Baltic Sea but which today takes its place among the family of European nations.

Museet blev grundlagt i 1890 og har fra begyndelsen haft som hovedopgave at agere inspirationsbank for industriens folk, ligesom man med stedet ønskede at gøre samtidens forbrugere kritiske og kvalitetsbevidste. I dag lokker nogle altid interessante særudstillinger folk med mange forskellige udgangspunkter til den fine, gamle rokokobygning, der blev opført under Kong Frederik V i 1700-tallet. Og museets have, Grønnegården, som er en af byens fineste oaser, kan heldigvis nydes af alle i museets åbningstid. Om sommeren danner haven ramme om Grønnegårds Teatrets populære forestillinger, hvor folk slår sig ned på græsplænen og nyder en omgang underholdning i det fri med medbragt mad.

Gobelinerne blev udsmykket af den berømte danske kunstner Bjørn Nørgaard (f. 1947) som en gave til Hendes Majestæt Dronning Margrethe II i anledning af hendes 50 års fødselsdag i 1990. De i alt 11 imponerende kunstværker, der beskriver danmarks- og verdenshistoriens gang, blev doneret af en række danske firmaer og fonde sammen med den franske stat og fremstillet over en periode på 10 år. Ved den officielle indvielse af gobelinerne den 12. april 2000 overdrog dronningen ejendomsretten til den danske stat med ønsket om, at gobelinerne for fremtiden skulle tilhøre danskerne. Så alle er i dag velkomne til at lægge vejen forbi de kongelige gemakker og nyde Nørgaards værker.

Ved hjælp af lån fra mastodonter som Guggenheim og Metropolitan i New York og Moderna Museet i Stockholm får publikum mulighed for at opleve internationale kunstnere som Paul Cézanne, Fernand Léger og Robert Delaunay i selskab med nogle af de bedste danske modernister som Harald Giersing, Sigurd Swane, Vilhelm Lundstrøm og Edvard Weie. Modernismen, som vi i dag betragter som klassisk kunst, var i sin spæde ungdom en helt ny og provokerende måde at se og gengive verden på – en måde, vi stadig bygger videre på, og som i dag er højaktuel.

On loan from such hallowed halls of modern art as the Guggenheim and Metropolitan museums in New York and Moderna Museet in Stockholm are works by leading Modernist artists such as Paul Cézanne, Fernand Léger and Robert Delaunay, which are counterposed with those of leading Danish names, such as Harald Giersing, Sigurd Swane, Vilhelm Lundstrøm and Edvard Weie. Modernism, which is today so ingrained in our perception of art, was originally perceived as a new and provocative mode of artistic representation.

Siden har danskere og tilrejsende valfartet mod den jyske hovedstad i tusindtal for at opleve pragtværket på egen krop.

Værket kræver en del mere bevægelse end den almindelige moderne installation, helt nøjagtigt er der 150 meter hele vejen rundt, men de fleste går – helt uden at bemærke det – turen flere gange.

ARoS MUSEUM OF ART AARHUS Your rainbow panorama A spectacular art installation by Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson (b. 1967) crowns the ARoS Museum of Art in Aarhus – a circular glass skywalk that takes you on a 360-degree tour of the cityscape bathed in the hues of the rainbow. With a diameter of 52 metres and a concourse of 150 metres, the artwork invites you to wander at ease – and soak in the view of the sea and the city.

Brandts rummer Kunsthallen Brandts, Museet for Fotokunst og Mediemuseet. Brandts Klædefabrik skiftede navn til det mere mundrette Brandts i 2005 og tilbyder mange stærke udstillinger hver sæson. Denne sommer udstiller Mediemuseet nogle af verdens førende videokunstnere under titlen Border Crossing, der sætter fokus på de følelser og oplevelser, der kan overgå én som migrant, udstødt, marginaliseret og isoleret. Videoværkerne bringer lys over en meget aktuel debat, der handler om, hvordan vi midt i globaliseringen har vanskeligt ved at rumme de migrationer, den har åbnet for.

Brandts in Odense features two museums and an art space – and the only art bookshop in town.

BRANDTS One of Scandinavia’s leading institutions of its kind, the Media Museum in Odense features a summer exhibition entitled Border Crossing, which focuses on the emotions and experiences of migrants who feel ostracised, marginalised and isolated. The videos bring to light a very timely way how we struggle to accommodate mass migration in a globalised world. The Media Museum is part of Brandts – Denmark’s first multicentre for the arts and culture, which was established in 1987 in converted mills in the heart of town. The centre also features a photography museum and a contemporary art space with changing exhibitions. Brandts Brandts Torv 1 DK-5000 Odense C Tel. +45 6520 7010 www.brandts.dk

Museet består af tre afsnit, der fortæller hver deres del af danmarkshistorien: – Købstaden før 1900 viser livet fra kong Christian IV til H.C. Andersen. – Nye tider i 1927 fortæller om dengang, Mads Skjern fra Danmarks mest berømte tv-serie, Matador, kom til Korsbæk. – 1970’er-afsnittet handler om tiden, da oliekrisen slog til, og vi var blevet medlem af EF (nuværende EU).

Fablen om Den gyldne hane fik sin scenepremiere i 1909 som en humoristisk opera baseret på et Pusjkin-digt fra 1834, der handlede om den synske gyldne hane og var en kommentar til den russiske revolution og den russisk-japanske krig. Nu er den nået til Danmark, hvor publikum kan glæde sig til en folkloristisk eventyrballet, men også en krigssatire om den klodsede kong Dodon, der vil angribe nabolandets dronning Shemakha, fordi han tror, hun forbereder krig mod ham. Den synske gyldne hane råber: “Fare, pas på!”, og den smukke, sensuelle dronning forfører kongen, som bliver taget slemt ved næsen.

Alexei Ratmansky’s ballet is featured as a folkloric fairytale, but is also a satire on war in which the bumbling King Dodon plans an attack on Queen Shemakha from the neighbouring nation because he thinks she is preparing an invasion. The cockerel screeches “Danger, beware,” all while the ravishing queen seduces the king and takes him on a rambling ride.

concierge SKUESPILHUSET Macbeth 21. september – 13. december 2012 Det Røde Rum er skuespilchef Emmet Feigenbergs kunstneriske dream team og består af ti fastansatte kunstnere med frie hænder, en fast scene og store forventninger. Det Røde Rum er med andre ord Det Kongelige Teaters bud på et genopfundet teater. Truppens opførelse af Macbeth er ikke en bredt malet historisk freske fra de skotske sagnkongers tid, men et tæt og mættet drama, blodigt og beskidt – spillet af blot fem skuespillere på Skuespilhusets mellemstore scene. En forestilling om manden, der kæmper sin kamp og sejrer fatalt, og en historie om kvinden, der står sin mand bi i kampen mod ynkværdig svaghed – og går til grunde. Men mere end det: Macbeth er også et billede af et helt samfund, der bærer på en forestilling om manden som en hensynsløs, ambitiøs og brutal arketype. Iscenesættelse: Rune David Grue Medvirkende: Mikkel Arndt, Johanne Louise Schmidt, Nicolai Dahl Hamilton, Maria Rossing (foto) og Thomas Hwan.

Their rendition of Macbeth is no broad-brushed epic of Scottish royalty but rather a dense drama – bloody and dirty – played by just five actors appearing on the medium stage of the Royal Danish Playhouse. It’s a story of a man who faces up to the fight and meets his fate, and about a woman, who stands by her husband in his struggle against ineptitude – and perishes. And adding to this, Macbeth also nurtures an archetypical image of manhood inspired by ruthlessness, ambition and brutality. Performances are in Danish. Staging: Rune David Grue

Ikke alene er hun en interessant musiker, hun er også et godt eksempel på en moderne kvinde, der evner at rumme både livet og kunsten som solist, kammermusiker, violinprofessor og mor. I 2009 udkom en cd, hvor Julia Fischer spiller Bachs violinkoncerter (Decca). Albummet blev en kæmpe succes, og kort efter lanceringen i USA kunne iTunes Store melde, at albummet var internetbutikkens hurtigst sælgende klassiske udgivelse til dato. Torsdag den 9. august kan du opleve Julia Fischer i Tivoli, hvor hun spiller Mendelssohns violinkoncert. Tivolis Symfoniorkester dirigeres af en af den klassiske musikverdens gamle maestroer, Lawrence Foster, og på programmet er også Brahms 3. symfoni.

The album was a huge success and, shortly after its launch, the iTunes Store announced that the album was its fastest selling classical release to date.

Men det er det kun på overfladen, for alting er af lave, så byens bedre borgerskab beslutter at belønne den eneste ordentlige unge mand i byen, Albert Herring. Men at blive udnævnt offentligt til dydsmønster huer ikke Albert, så han bruger prisen på en noget anden måde end det, der var hensigten. Som mange andre af Brittens operaer kredser Albert Herring om det at være anderledes end de andre. I denne opera behandles emnet med lethed og smittende humor. Gert Henning-Jensen synger titelrollen som duksedrengen, der bliver voksen på én nat. Iscenesættelse: Keith Warner. Medvirkende: Gert Henning-Jensen, Ylva Kihlberg, Johanne Bock, Sten Byriel, Bengt-Ola Morgny, Gisela Stille m.fl.

Appearances are maintained in the small English village of Loxford, although nothing is as it appears if you scratch below the surface. So the local kingpins decide to award a prize to the only decent young man in town, Albert Herring. But being hailed as a paragon does not sit well with Albert, who puts the prize to a somewhat different use than originally intended. As with many of Britten’s operas, Albert Herring deals with the experience of standing out from the crowd – in this case with added light-hearted humour. Gert Henning-Jensen performs the title role as the well-groomed young man who comes of age overnight. Performances are in English with Danish supertitles.

American chess player Frederick Trumper is to defend his title against Russian chess champion Anatoly Sergeievsky. But the title of the world’s best chess player isn’t all that’s at stake – the chess match is also a political showpiece between two Cold War superpowers. Added to this, Frederick’s second, Florence Vassy, falls in love with the Soviet adversary and the ménage à trois is further complicated when Anatoly’s wife announces her arrival. Chess is a love story told with passion and offers great musical highlights.

I slottet findes også det imponerende kongelige skatkammer, hvor de stærkt bevogtede kronjuveler opbevares. Rosenborg Slot blev oprindelig opført af Christian IV i 1606-1607 – rigets ubetinget mest produktive bygherre gennem tiderne – som et landligt lysthus, men frem til 1624 blev det udbygget til det nederlandske renæssanceslot, det er i dag. Det meste af den prangende bygning er formentlig tegnet af Christian IV selv. Rosenborg var nemlig hans yndlingsresidens. Det er her, du kan stifte bekendtskab med et ægte royalt lokum, det er her, hvor det blodige lommetørklæde, der blev bundet om kongens øje, da en kanonsplint ramte ham under et søslag på Kolberger Heide i 1644, er udstillet, og det var her, han døde i 1648.

ROSENBORG CASTLE A small royal hermitage in the heart of Copenhagen surrounded by parkland, Rosenborg Castle was the favoured summer residence of its creator, King Christian IV (1577-1648) – the nation’s most industrious monarch. He is also believed to have been the architect of the Dutch Renaissance castle, which was completed in 1624. The castle’s 400-year-old epoch interiors feature royal collections and portraits – and whimsical mementoes, such as King Christian IV’s blood-stained handkerchief from the Battle of Colberger Heide – a naval battle against Sweden in 1644 – when the king lost an eye.

the queen of denmark for 40 years By Theresa Valbæk

dronning af danmark i 40 år

With her faith in the institution of the monarchy and her commitment to the nation, Margrethe II has won the hearts of the Danes and this year celebrates her 40th royal anniversary as the Queen of Denmark. This year, 40 years ago, a simple ceremony on the balcony of Christiansborg Palace – the Danish parliament – marked the beginning of the reign of Margrethe II, Queen of Denmark (b. 1940). Dressed in mourning for the death of her father, King Frederik IX, only hours earlier, the Crown Princess became the nation’s new head of state at age 32. As tens of thousands of Danes gathered on the parliament square, the Prime Minister, Jens Otto Krag, addressed the nation from the balcony: “King Frederik IX is dead, long live her Majesty the Queen.” Like all Danish monarchs, Queen Margrethe II has adopted a motto: God’s help, the people’s love, Denmark’s strength. And since ascending to the throne the Queen has, indeed, won the hearts of the Danish people. Few monarchs in the world have enjoyed such a popular following as Margrethe II, Queen of Denmark.

Med sikker hånd og en fast tro på monarkiets berettigelse og styrke har danskernes Dronning Margrethe II i år siddet på tronen i imponerende 40 år. I år for 40 år siden blev Dronning Margrethe II (f. 1940) udråbt som dronning af Danmark fra balkonen på Christiansborg Slotsplads midt i København. Titusindvis af danskere var mødt op for at hylde den unge, sortklædte, kun 32-årige dronning, der få timer forinden havde mistet sin elskede far, Kong Frederik IX. Det var nu, hun for alvor skulle stå sin prøve, og med valgsproget “Guds hjælp, folkets kærlighed, Danmarks styrke” vandt hun øjeblikkeligt danskernes hjerter og har lige siden været en folkekær skikkelse i danskernes bevidsthed. Kun få andre steder i verden har en monark gennem så mange år opretholdt så stor en popularitet som i Danmark.

Thomas Kluge, Portrait of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, 1995

first female monarch første kvindelige monark Dronning Margrethe II er officielt den første regerende dronning af Danmark, da den kvindelig arvefølge først blev indført ved en grundlovsændring i 1953. Hendes forgænger, Dronning Margrete I (13531412), var i virkeligheden slet ikke dronning, da datiden kun tillod kvinder at være Danmarks riges formynder. Dronning Margrete I var formynder for sin søn, Kong Oluf, der blev konge af Danmark i en alder af kun fem år. Ved hans tidlige død i 1387 var hendes magt dog så grundfæstet, at Rigsrådet udpegede hende som regent.

en velvoksen kongefamilie I sommeren 1967 blev Dronning Margrethe II viet til den franske diplomat Henri-MarieJean André greve de Laborde de Monpezat, efter brylluppet Prins Henrik, i Holmens Kirke i København, og de to har i dag to sønner og otte børnebørn. Dronning Margrethe II blev farmor første gang den28. august 1999, da Prins Joachim og hans daværende hustru, Prinsesse Alexandra (nu Alexandra, grevinde af Frederiksborg), blev forældre til Prins Nikolai. Tronarvingen Christian Valdemar Henri John (Prins Christian), søn af Kronprins Frederik og Kronprinsesse Mary, blev født den15. oktober 2005.

124

Queen Margrethe II is officially the first reigning female sovereign in Denmark since female succession was first introduced by a constitutional amendment in 1953. Her female predecessor, Queen Margrethe I (1353-1412), was in reality not a monarch but a regent for her son, King Oluf II, who ascended to the throne at the young age of five. However, at his untimely death at the age of just seventeen, the Queen’s grip on power had become so strong that the Privy Council appointed her sovereign.

a royal family In the summer of 1967, Queen Margrethe II married the French diplomat Henri Marie Jean André, Count de Laborde de Monpezat, who became Henrik, Prince Consort of Denmark. The wedding took place at the Church of Holmen in Copenhagen opposite the parliament. The royal couple has two sons, Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim, and eight grandchildren. Queen Margrethe II became a grandmother for the first time on 28 August 1999 when Prince Nikolai was born to the Queen’s youngest son Prince Joachim and his then-wife Princess Alexandra (now Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg). The firstborn to Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary was born on 15 October 2005. Christian Valdemar Henri John (known as Prince Christian) is first in line to the throne after his father.

the queen’s duties The Queen’s main duty as head of state is to represent Denmark abroad on state visits where she also lends royal splendour to the opening of official exhibitions. The Queen attends regular cabinet meetings with the government, although Her Majesty does not wield political power beyond that of a formal figurehead. She holds public audiences where those who have received official appointments or royal honours can meet the Queen. And as a popular symbol and representative of Denmark, Her Majesty attends inaugurations and anniversaries nationwide. Her annual televised New Year address is watched by millions.

artistic activity The Queen has since 1970 nurtured her artistic talent, working with painting, ecclesiastical textiles, watercolours, prints, book illustrations, découpage, set design and embroidery. Many of these works have been displayed at exhibitions in Denmark and abroad. The Queen’s paintings and her costume and set design for the Royal Danish Theatre and the Tivoli Pantomime Theatre are widely appreciated by the public. Artworks by the Queen are represented at the Danish National Gallery, ARoS Museum of Art Aarhus and the KØS Museum of Art in the Public Space (sketches for Her Majesty’s ecclesiastical textiles).

væsentligste opgaver Dronningens væsentligste opgaver er at repræsentere Danmark udadtil og være et samlingspunkt indadtil. Den sidste opgave opfyldes bl.a. ved at efterkomme indbydelser til indvielser, jubilæer og holde den vigtige årlige nytårstale til danskerne. Også udstillingsåbninger i udlandet i forbindelse med erhvervsfremstød har ofte kongelig deltagelse. Desuden giver dronningen med korte mellemrum offentlig audiens, hvor borgere kan møde frem for at takke for embedsudnævnelser, tildeling af dekorationer, fortjensttegn eller lignende.

kunstnerisk aktivitet Dronningen har siden 1970 beskæftiget sig aktivt med en række kunstneriske udtryksformer; maleri, kirketekstiler, akvareller, grafik, bogillustrationer, découpager, scenografi og broderi. En stor del af disse værker har været vist på udstillinger i Danmark og i udlandet. Især dronningens malerier og hendes kostumer og scenografi til Det Kongelige Teater og til Pantomimeteateret i Tivoli er kendt i offentligheden. Dronningens kunst er repræsenteret på Statens Museum for Kunst, Aarhus Kunstmuseum ARoS og KØS – Museum for kunst i det offentlige rum (skitser til kirketekstiler).

the queen’s art By Andrea Rygg Karberg

dronningens kunst

The Queen of Denmark is artistically gifted, and visitors to Copenhagen this year can enjoy the opportunity to view the largest ever retrospective of Her Majesty’s art at the ARKEN Museum of Art, south of the city. The Queen is inspired by colour, which to her represents emotions and states of mind where words fall short. Entitled The Essence of Colour – The Art of Queen Margrethe II, the exhibition features 135 watercolours, acrylic paintings and decoupages created over a period of 35 years and demonstrates the wide scope of her artistic talent.

tolkien The Queen’s artistic adventure began in earnest with the reading of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien describes his magnificent landscapes so vividly that the Queen was inspired to render her visions in artistic form. The result was a series of watercolours entitled Landscapes of Lost Legends from 1976-1978, which is included as the exhibition’s earliest work. Blue and green colour fields flow beautifully together and are subsequently outlined with black ink. Impassable mountains, deep gorges, lakes and rivers offer a backdrop to small figures in the magnificent scenery. These are not illustrations of Tolkien’s tales but imagined landscapes mirroring the same mythical realm beyond time and space.

Danmarks dronning er også kunstner. Det slås fast på udstillingen Farvens sjæl på ARKEN Museum for Moderne Kunst, der er den hidtil største præsentation af dronning Margrethe II’s kunst. 135 akvareller, akrylmalerier og découpager skabt over en periode på 35 år viser den store spændvidde i værkernes udtryk og i det kunstnersind, de udgår fra. I dronningens kunst er farverne besjælede. De formulerer følelser og tilstande, der hvor ordene ikke slår til.

tolkien Kunsteventyret begyndte for alvor med læsningen af J.R.R. Tolkiens Ringenes Herre. Tolkien beskrev sine storslåede landskaber så malende, at dronningen så dem klart for sig og fik en stærk trang til at gengive sine syner. Det blev til en serie akvareller med titlen Landskaber til tabte sagn fra 1976-1978, der er med som udstillingens ældste værker. Blå og grønne farvefelter flyder smukt sammen. Konturer og detaljer er præciseret til slut med sort blæk. Ufremkommelige bjerge, dybe kløfter, søer og floder danner baggrund for enkelte små figurer i den storladne natur. Der er ikke tale om direkte Tolkien-illustrationer, men om fantaserede landskaber i den samme fjerne sagnverden hinsides virkelighedens tid og rum.

nordic landscapes Through the 1980s, the Queen pursued an almost abstract style, depicting close-at-hand motifs, such as the flowers in her estate gardens or the windows and facades of the royal family’s residential homes. But revisiting Landscapes of Lost Legends twenty years after their inception, Her Majesty was inspired to rediscover landscape painting and motifs that you “could walk into”. The Queen found her artistic calling in the semi-Symbolist landscapes that followed. Tempestuous skies, fathomless lakes and towering, moss-covered mountains testify to the artist’s strong sense of nature: “Nature is wonderfully beautiful and can be very idyllic, but it is also a powerful thing. Big and scary – and most fascinating when it is big and scary.” The Queen’s duties as head of state mean that she cannot always pursue her art when the inspiration comes to her but a weekly afternoon in her busy schedule is always devoted to painting. The Queen has developed an ability to save inspiring impressions and experiences and to concentrate 100 percent on painting when the opportunity arises. The Queen rarely paints directly in front of the subject. Memory and imagination are her main instruments – a lifetime of impressions from her travels all across the Danish kingdom, including the Faroe Islands and Greenland, and from Norway and Iceland are embedded in the images – images from the land and sea as well as perspectives from the air from her many helicopter trips.

nordiske landskaber Gennem 1980’erne arbejdede dronningen med næsten abstrakte skildringer af nære motiver som parkens blomster eller vinduer og facader på kongefamiliens boliger. Det var gensynet med serien Landskaber til tabte sagn 20 år efter dens tilblivelse, der vakte kunstnerens lyst til at forlade det abstrakte og i stedet igen male landskaber, der var “til at gå ind i”. Dronningen fandt sig selv som kunstner i de halvt symbolistiske landskabsmalerier, der fulgte. Truende uvejrsskyer, bundløse søer og høje mosgroede fjelde vidner om kunstnerens stærke naturfølelse: “Naturen er vidunderlig smuk og kan være meget idyllisk, men den er også en stærk sag. Stor og skræmmende – og allermest fascinerende, når den er stor og skræmmende.” Det er et særligt vilkår for dronningen som kunstner ikke altid at kunne male, når inspirationen melder sig. Som et fast punkt i den travle kalender er en ugentlig eftermiddag helliget maleriet. Dronningen har opøvet evnen til at huske og gemme inspirerende indtryk og oplevelser og til at koncentrere sig 100% om maleriet, når muligheden foreligger. Der males sjældent direkte foran motivet. Erindring og fantasi er de vigtigste virkemidler. Et livs rejseindtryk fra alle dele af det danske rige såvel som fra Norge, Færøerne, Grønland og Island er indlejret i billederne. Både til lands, til vands og i luften fra helikopter.

decoupage

découpager En værkkategori, der morer dronningen ganske særligt, er de eventyrlige découpager. Udklip fra auktionskataloger o.l. sammensættes til nye billeder eller nye verdener, hvor alting kan ske. Hvert lag lakeres grundigt i en tidskrævende og vanskelig proces. På udstillingen ses papirkurve, bakker og en kaminskærm, der til daglig pryder værelserne på Amalienborg – og ikke mindst en række ovale plader besat med découpage, der via moderne teknologi har dannet scenografi til filmatiseringen af to af eventyrdigteren H.C. Andersens mest skræmmende eventyr, Snedronningen og De Vilde Svaner. I filmene bevæger skuespillerne sig tilsyneladende rundt inde i dronningens découpager, hvor forskellige størrelsesforhold, perspektiver og kunsthistoriske stilarter danner surreelle, kalejdoskopiske billedrum. Dronningens livslange kærlighed til eventyrets verden får frit spil i disse fantasifulde værker, der myldrer af sprælske detaljer.

130

An artistic genre that especially amuses the Queen is the fabled world of decoupage where clippings from auction catalogues and other such printed matter are combined into collages and new worlds where anything can happen. Each layer is coated with lacquer in a time-consuming and difficult process. Among the exhibits are wastepaper baskets, trays and a fireguard that usually adorn the private chambers at the Royal Palace, Amalienborg – and not least a series of oval plates embellished with decoupage, which by virtue of modern technology has also been rendered as set designs for film adaptations of two of Hans Christian Andersen’s most frightening tales, The Snow Queen and The Wild Swans. In the film, the actors appear to be moving around in the Queen’s decoupages in which the interplay of different perspectives, proportions and styles offer a surreal and kaleidoscopic visual realm. The Queen’s lifelong love of the fairytale world is given free rein in these imaginative works, which teem with detail.

Queen Margrethe II, Large carcass, 2011, Photo: Anders Sune Berg

stones, carcasses and bones As a mature artist, the Queen has in recent years created a series of paintings of sculptural, colourful stones, which have gradually become more and more organic in texture. In 2011 – up to the opening of the exhibition – the Queen created a series of images she calls knokkelbilleder (‘Bone images’) depicting the carcasses and bones of strange imaginary animals painted in pink on a garish yellow background. This new, almost aggressive use of graphic colours is a surprise – the more sinister motif, the more luminous the colours. Bones are nevertheless not a new subject in art. They have been employed as motifs since medieval times to remind us of our mortality – to lead our lives wisely and responsibly. The Queen is familiar with this tradition, although in her case the bones are associated with her interest in archaeology and the vestiges of lived life. A monarch is inevitably a historical figure and as such is guaranteed a certain sense of immortality. The Queen is a religious person, and her sarcophagus for Roskilde Cathedral has already been designed and commissioned. Her Knokkelbilleder deal with life’s big questions, while equally the artist’s joyous love of life seems far more overwhelming than her fear of death. Humour and gravity in balanced measure define the art of Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II, who shares with us her unique perspective on existence.

sten, skrog og knogler I de seneste år har den modne kunstner skabt en serie malerier af skulpturelle, farverige sten, der gradvist er blevet mere og mere organiske. I 2011 – op til udstillingen – opstod heraf dronningens såkaldte “knokkelbilleder” af skrog og knogler fra mærkelige fantasidyr malet i pink på en skrigende gul baggrund. Den nye, næsten aggressive brug af vilde farver overrasker. Jo mere dystert motiv, jo mere lysende farver. Knogler er ikke et nyt motiv i kunsthistorien. Siden middelalderen anvendes de i billeder, der skal huske os på, at vi skal dø – og derfor skal bruge livet klogt og ansvarligt. Dronningen kender traditionen, selvom værkerne ifølge kunstneren er forbundet med interessen for arkæologi og fundne rester af levet liv. En monark er uundgåeligt en historisk skikkelse og som sådan sikret en vis udødelighed. Dronningen er et religiøst menneske, og sarkofagen til Roskilde Domkirke er allerede planlagt og bestilt. Knokkelbillederne behandler tilværelsens store spørgsmål, samtidig med at livsglæden hos denne kunstner virker stærkere end dødsangsten. Humor og alvor følges ad i værkerne udført af kunstneren Margrethe II, der fortæller os om den menneskelige eksistens set fra et ganske særligt ståsted.

auctions for all By Eva Helsted and Camilla Lezuik Streton

auktioner for alle

Auctions are inspiring experiences where you can purchase rare and exquisite items that you won’t find elsewhere. They also allow you to experience the excitement of bidding when an artwork by your favourite artist is up for sale, no matter whether your hopes are rewarded or dashed when the hammer finally falls. If you haven’t purchased at auction before you might think such places are the reserve of seasoned auction-goers. But that’s not the case. Everyone is welcome at Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers of Fine Art, although it’s always an advantage to know a little about the different types of auctions before embarking on the bidding.

At handle på auktion er en oplevelse, du ikke bør snyde dig selv for. Det er her, du kan købe de sjældne, fine og udsøgte effekter, som du ikke finder andre steder. Det er også her, du oplever spændingens sus, når kampen om et værk af yndlingskunstneren sætter ind, ligesom det er her, du mærker glæden – eller ærgrelsen – når hammeren endelig falder! Har man ikke prøvet at handle på auktion før, kan man let tro, at det er forbeholdt en kreds af særligt indviede. Sådan er det imidlertid ikke. Alle er velkomne på Bruun Rasmussens auktioner. Men det er naturligvis en fordel at kende lidt til de forskellige typer auktioner, inden man kaster sig ud i selve budgivningen.

ét auktionshus – to typer auktioner Bruun Rasmussen er nok bedst kendt for de traditionelle auktioner, som huset har afholdt siden 1948 efter den klassiske model med en auktionarius, en hammer og et podie. Netauktionerne kom til i 2004 og baserer sig på de traditionelle auktionsprincipper – forskellen er blot, at både budgivning, hammerslag og betaling foregår via internettet. Hver dag året rundt kan du byde med på kunst, antikviteter, moderne møbler, klassisk kunsthåndværk, smykker og samlerobjekter. Alle udbudte emner præsenteres med beskrivelse og fotos på bruun-rasmussen.dk. Her er det nemt at skelne mellem de to typer auktioner, da de traditionelle auktioner er markeret med farven bordeauxrød og symbolet en hammer, mens net-auktionerne er markeret med farven orange og symbolet en computer.

one auction house – two types of auctions Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers of Fine Art is probably best known for its traditional auctions, which have been held since 1948 following the classic method with an auctioneer, a gavel and a podium. Online auctions were introduced in 2004 and are based on the traditional principles of auctioneering – the only difference is that bidding, the auction and payment are conducted online. You can place your bids at auction every day of the year within the categories of art, antiques, modern furniture, classical decorative art, jewellery and collectibles. All lots are presented with descriptions and photos at bruunrasmussen.dk. Here, you can easily distinguish between the two types of auctions, since the traditional auctions are marked with a burgundy colour and a symbol of a hammer, while the online auctions are marked with the colour orange and a symbol of a computer.

traditional auctions Traditional auctions are held four times a year at the auction house at Bredgade 33 in the heart of Copenhagen and four times a year at Baltikavej 10 in Copenhagen’s Nordhavn. These auctions are popular crowd-pullers. At the Bredgade auction room, the auctioneer swings the hammer over fine art, antiques, jewellery, design and decorative art, while the Baltikavej department offers auctions of rare coins and stamps. Prior to each traditional auction, richly illustrated auction catalogues are published featuring all the lots on offer. Printed versions can be ordered from bruun-rasmussen.dk where electronic versions can also be downloaded.

online auctions Unlike traditional auctions, online auctions are conducted almost every day of the year at bruun-rasmussen.dk where you can bid for items within the categories of art, antiques, jewellery, modern design, books, stamps, coins, wine and weapons. Generally speaking, online auction lots fetch lower prices than lots at traditional auctions, but the quality is still excellent. Online auctions are conducted by the Bruun Rasmussen office in Aarhus and from the offices at Sundkrogsgade 30 and Baltikavej 10 in Copenhagen. The different categories are featured on set weekdays, and the hammer generally falls at around 20:00.

traditionel auktion De traditionelle auktioner afholdes fire gange årligt i auktionssalen i Bredgade 33 i hjertet af København og fire gange årligt på Baltikavej 10 i Københavns Nordhavn. Disse auktioner er lidt af et tilløbsstykke. I Bredgade svinger auktionarius hammeren over finere billedkunst, antikviteter, smykker, design og kunsthåndværk, mens det i afdelingen på Baltikavej gælder sjældne mønter og frimærker. Op til hver traditionel auktion udgives rigt illustrerede auktionskataloger med alle de udbudte emner. Katalogerne kan bestilles på bruunrasmussen.dk, hvor de også kan downloades.

net-auktion I modsætning til de traditionelle auktioner afvikles der næsten dagligt nye net-auktioner på bruun-rasmussen.dk, og her kan man byde på alt lige fra kunst, antikviteter, smykker og moderne design til bøger, frimærker, mønter, vin og våben. Som oftest er emnerne i et lavere prisleje, end man finder på de traditionelle auktioner, men kvaliteten er stadig i højsædet. Net-auktionerne afvikles både fra Bruun Rasmussens afdeling i Aarhus og fra afdelingerne i Sundkrogsgade 30 og på Baltikavej 10 i København. Kategorierne udbydes på faste ugedage, og hammerslagene falder som hovedregel fra kl. 20.

previews på opdagelse i eftersynet Alle udbudte emner fra begge typer auktioner præsenteres på de såkaldte eftersyn i Bruun Rasmussens afdelinger. Her kan man få emnerne i hånden, se dem efter i detaljer og vurdere, om de lever op til forventningerne. På eftersynet er det også muligt at tale med Bruun Rasmussens vurderingseksperter, der kan fortælle mere om de udbudte emner. Eftersynet til de fire årlige traditionelle auktioner i Bredgade er altid en uforglemmelig oplevelse! Her udstilles de fineste møbler og kunstgenstande i herskabelige omgivelser, der hensætter én til en anden tid, når man bevæger sig gennem de højloftede sale med stilfulde interiører, overdådige prismekroner og velduftende blomsteropsatser. Går man på opdagelse i eftersynet til de daglige netauktioner, er oplevelsen mere uformel i de rustikke udstillingslokaler i Københavns Nordhavn og i Aarhus. Uanset om du er på udkig efter et moderne maleri, en møbelklassiker, en funklende diamantring, et elegant armbåndsur eller en flaske fortryllende Champagne, er der altid et rigt udvalg af emner på Bruun Rasmussens auktioner i alle prisklasser.

All lots on offer at both types of auctions are presented for inspection at previews held at Bruun Rasmussen’s different departments. Here you have the chance to touch and study the items in detail and assess whether they live up to your expectations. At the preview you will also enjoy the opportunity to speak to Bruun Rasmussen’s valuation experts who can tell you more about the lots on offer. The previews of the four annual traditional auctions held at Bredgade are always a memorable experience. The finest furniture and objets d’art are exhibited in elegant surroundings reminiscent of a grander age with salons with stylish interiors, opulent chandeliers and fragrant floral arrangements. Previews of the daily online auctions are less formal and held in more prosaic ambiances in Copenhagen’s Nordhavn and in Aarhus. Whether you are looking for a modern painting, a furniture classic, a sparkling diamond ring, an elegant wristwatch or an exquisite bottle of Champagne, you’ll always enjoy a wide choice within every price range at Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers of Fine Art.

the rebirth of karma By Theresa Valbæk

fiskers karma

Legendary Danish car designer Henrik Fisker has brought a new age of sustainability to luxury automaking. His solar-powered sports sedan Fisker Karma has already hit the road – and his next model, Fisker Surf, is just about to surface.

Sleek, eye-catching and electric – Danish car designer Henrik Fisker has raised the bar for supercars with Fisker Karma. First revealed at the American International Auto Show in Detroit in 2008, this eco-friendly hybrid sports sedan hit the tarmac flying in 2011. Low-slung and easy to handle, it surges from 0-100 kilometres/ 0-60 miles in 6.3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 200 kph/ 125 miles.

Den legendariske danske bildesigner Henrik Fisker har sat bæredygtighed på hjul med sin soldrevne luksussedan Fisker Karma. Og den næste model, Fisker Surf, er lige om hjørnet.

Flot, fræk og elektrisk! Den danske bildesigner Henrik Fisker har givet bæredygtighed et helt nyt look med superbilen Fisker Karma. Bilen blev først vist frem ved the American International Auto Show i Detroit i 2008, og efter nogen forsinkelse fik den endelig asfalt under hjulene i 2011. Den er lav og kan levere på vejen, men der er samtidig god plads til fire personer i kabinen på denne sportssedan. Bilen beviser også, at man kan være hurtig i spurten selvom man er en hybridbil – karmaen trækker 0-100 km/t på 6.3 sekunder og har en tophastighed på 200 km/t.

ud med de dyre batterier

solar-powered A major challenge for any electric car design is the battery. The lithium-ion batteries used with most cars are similar to those in mobile phones. They are expensive and short-lived, most only last around three to four years. But Henrik Fisker believes he has found the right solution using batteries that support ranges of 80 kilometres/ 50 miles before having to recharge, which is the average daily range that most European motorists drive. According to Fisker the Karma the battery lifespan also promises to be a winner. “We have a battery with an expected lifespan of around a decade,” he says. A hybrid car, the Karma also features a small direct-injected gasoline engine to charge the lightweight battery pack and to give extra boost when exceeding the 80-kilometer range or driving in the full-speed Sports Drive mode. But even when burning up the road, the Karma will run a full 40 kilometres on the litre/ 95 miles on the gallon. Other energy-saving features include the regenerative brake system, which recaptures braking energy, and the optional full-length solar-panelled roof. Fisker Automotive will additionally offer a set of solar panels for the home to generate electricity during the day needed to charge the car overnight – emissions free.

Problemet med elbiler er ellers ofte netop, at de oplader strømmen i lithium-ion-batterier svarende til de batterier, vi kender fra mobiltelefoner. De er både meget dyre og holder ikke længe – ofte kun omkring tre-fire år. Men Henrik Fisker mener at have fundet løsningen med relative små batterier. Ifølge en undersøgelse, som Henrik Fisker fik foretaget i forbindelse med Fisker Karma-projektet, vil langt de fleste bilister nemlig sagtens kunne nøjes med de 80 kilometer, en Karma kan køre på en opladning. Derfor er der kun brug for et batteri af en vis størrelse – og så mener Henrik Fisker at Fisker Karma-batteriet kommer til at leve længere “Vi har et batteri, som har en forventet levetid på omkring ti år,” vurderer han. Til trods for sine næsten fem meter i længden og en vægt på cirka 2,1 ton kan Karma desuden køre over 40 kilometer på en liter benzin. Bilen har nemlig en benzindreven hjælpemotor, der kan bruges til at producere strøm, når det genopladelige batteri er ved at løbe tør, eller når bilen sættes i sportsmode

tegnede biler i folkeskolen

designer career Henrik Fisker grew up in the provincial towns of Allerød and Roskilde. His passion for cars started while he was still a young boy, and he always played with cars. In school, his exercise books were covered with car doodles and drawings. So when he left school he contacted Volvo in Sweden, asking to become part of their design team. They wrote back telling him that Volvo sponsored the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, which was about to open a department in Switzerland. So he grabbed his portfolio and headed for Switzerland, where in 1986 he embarked on what was to become a remarkable career as a top car designer. And he has achieved the impossible. As chief designer at BMW, Fisker developed the BMW Z8 – the car sported by James Bond in *The World Is Not Enough*. He also headed the design team at Aston Martin, the ultimate job for any aspiring car designer. Henrik Fisker had always dreamed of going it alone, so in 2005 he quit Aston Martin to start his own marque. First he launched Fisker Coachbuild, offering customised sports cars based on existing models. He then created Fisker Automotive to design hybrid sports cars.

the next karma Following his successful launch of the Fisker Karma, the legendary Danish car designer is now ready to present the next generation solar-powered vehicle, the Fisker Surf. The new model is a four-door family-friendly hatchback with the same range as the Fisker Karma. The production model will be unveiled at the 2012 Paris Auto Show in September and the first cars are set to roll of the assembly line in Finland in 2013.

Henrik Fisker er opvokset i henholdsvis Allerød og Roskilde vest for København, men har i mange år boet i USA med sin kone og to børn. Passionen for biler startede allerede i drengeårene. Henrik Fisker legede altid med biler, i folkeskolen blev kladdehæfterne fyldt med biltegninger i stedet for grammatik, og senere under hans HF-uddannelse blev han ved med at slå streger på alt, han kunne komme i nærheden af. Efter endt studentereksamen sendte Henrik Fisker et brev til svenske Volvo, han ville gerne lære at designe biler. Kort efter skrev Volvo tilbage, at de sponsorerede skolen *The Art Center College of Design* i USA, og at skolen var i gang med at åbne en afdeling i Schweiz. Henrik samlede derfor alle sine tegninger og tog til Schweiz for at vise sin mappe frem. Han blev optaget 1986 og har siden kunnet dyrke sin store passion professionelt. I dag er Henrik Fisker ubetinget en af verdens mest succesrige bildesignere og har opnået, hvad de fleste kun tør drømme om. Han har været chefdesigner hos BMW, hvor han udviklede BMW Z8 – bilen, som havde James Bond bag rattet i *The World Is Not Enough*. Og han har stået i spidsen for designteamet hos Aston Martin, et job der inden for bildesign anses som det absolut ypperste.

fremtiden er el I 2005 skulle der ske noget nyt. Henrik Fisker sagde op hos Aston Martin for at kaste sig ud i en gammel drøm, at starte sin egen bilproduktion op fra bunden. I første omgang blev det til virksomheden Fisker Coachbuild. Coachbuild betyder karrosseribygning og går ud på, at man ombygger eksisterende biler, hvilket ikke kræver så stor en investering. Fisker ville bygge anderledes luksussportsvogne ud af allerede eksisterende luksussportsvogne. Og siden er det altså blevet til endnu et firma, Fisker Automotive, der skal lave eldrevne sportsvogne.

den næste karma Efter den store succes med Fisker Karma, så har Henrik Fisker kastet sig ud i næste generation of sin soldrevne hybridbil – Fisker Surf. Den nye firdørsmodel er en såkaldt hatchback med plads til hele familien. Produktionsmodellen afsløres ved Paris Auto Show i september 2012 og de første modeller forventes at rulle af samlebåndene i Finland allerede i 2013.

Mads Ljungdahl: The Back Door, The Decorated Children, 2011

One Danish artist to watch is Mads Ljungdahl whose visual art strives to encompass both sound and photography to create animation video works shown at screening exhibitions throughout the world. His newly released book The Decorated Children portrays some of the still imagery that populates his imaginative world and includes a series of 53 tableaux with mysterious stories about humans as privileged beings. The allegoric tale tells of three characters that do as they please in the world, and through dramatic tableaux their actions are shown to have serious unforeseen consequences. The book features a fascinating combination of drawing and photography, displaying scenes of beauty, vitality and moral decay. The Decorated Children has recently been included in the collection at the National Art Library, London. Visit puf-art.com for more images from the book and an illuminating interview with the artist.

Den allegoriske fortælling beretter om tre figurer, der gør, som det passer dem, og de dramatiske tableauer viser, at deres handlinger har alvorlige uforudsete konsekvenser. Bogen indeholder en fascinerende kombination af tegning og fotografi og viser scenerier både af stor skønhed og livskraft, men også af moralsk forfald.

Henrik Plenge Jakobsen: If the People Have No Bread Let Them Eat Cake, 2002

secret garden: contemporary art in thurah’s baroque garden Gammel Holtegaard, Holte 11 May – 21 October 2012 An aristocratic manor north of Copenhagen, Gammel Holtegaard is today a contemporary art centre. The formal garden was landscaped by Lauritz de Thurah in 1755, reflecting the Baroque vision of nature as a grand design. Now for the first time artists have been invited to use the manor garden as a large-scale exhibition space for contemporary art. Works by nine Danish artists and artist groups will be presented, several of which are on-site projects, including contemporary sculptures and installations. Among the works featured are installations by Thomas Øvlisen and Jesper Dalgaard using nature’s own materials. The artist group Vinyl-terror & -horror present a fusion between a bathroom and a fountain. And living art in the form of pink sheep is presented by Henrik Plenge Jakobsen. There are new interpretations of classical sculptures by Tove Storch and Jeanette Hillig, and inspiring new beehives are the artistic brainchild of Lisbeth Bank.

Holtegaard atter arkitektens vision til virkelighed og inviterer kunstnere til at benytte barokhaven som storslået udstillingsrum. Udstillingen præsenterer værker af ni danske kunstnere og kunstnergrupper, hvoraf flere projekter er skabt specielt til stedet. Blandt værkerne er installationer af Thomas Øvlisen og Jesper Dalgaard skabt med naturens egne materialer foruden et værk, der fusionerer badeværelse og springvand skabt af kunstnergruppen Vinyl-terror & -horror. Der er levende kunst i form af lyserøde får iscenesat af Henrik Plenge Jakobsen, nye fortolkninger af klassiske skulpturer af Tove Storch og Jeanette Hillig samt inspirerende bistader skabt af Lisbeth Bank.

Astrid Kruse Jensen, Disappearing into the past #60, 2011, fiber print, 80 x 82 cm, ed. of 5

Rønnebæksholm, Næstved 17. juni – 12. august 2012 Astrid Kruse Jensen (f. 1975) er en af Danmarks mest bemærkelsesværdige yngre kunstnere, hvis fotografiske værker har været vist ved både sær- og gruppeudstillinger i hele verden. Denne sommer præsenterer hun sit seneste projekt, Disappearing into the Past, på Rønnebæksholm kunst- og kulturcenter, der ligger uden for Næstved. Astrid Kruse Jensens kunstneriske særkende er natlandskaber – teknisk perfekte fotografier, der kombinerer en dyb natsort himmel med intense farver, og som kun lejlighedsvis er befolket af en mystisk, enlig kvinde i en rød dragt. Værkerne er gennemsyret af en surrealistisk atmosfære, der balancerer mellem drøm og virkelighed. For nylig har Astrid Kruse Jensens arbejde taget en ny drejning, og i udstillingen inviterer hun os med på en rejse ind i et poetisk, drømmende univers af tabte erindringer. Astrid Kruse Jensens tågede, udviskede motiver er skabt med et gammelt polaroidkamera og med film, der har overskredet deres udløbsdato. Med dette medium søger kunstneren at puste nyt liv i barndommens indtryk og naturens uskyld. Titlen, Disappearing into the Past, refererer både til hukommelse som en dynamisk proces og til polaroidfotoet, der som medium er ved at forsvinde.

astrid kruse jensen: disappearing into the past Rønnebæksholm, Næstved 17 June – 12 August 2012 One of the most remarkable younger artists in Denmark is Astrid Kruse Jensen (b. 1975) whose photographic works have been highlighted in group and solo shows throughout the world. This summer she presents her latest series of works entitled Disappearing into the Past at Rønnebæksholm – an arts and culture centre situated close to the town of Næstved. Astrid Kruse Jensen’s signature has been deserted nightscapes, composed of technically perfect photos with deep black night skies and strong intense colours, only occasionally populated by a mysterious, lonely woman in a red outfit. Her work is characterised by a surreal atmosphere, balancing between dream and reality. Recently, Astrid Kruse Jensen’s work has taken a turn, and in the exhibition she invites us on a journey into a poetic, dreamy universe of lost memories, through installations of misty, vanishing imagery. With an old Polaroid camera and photo films that have passed their expiry date, Astrid Kruse Jensen seeks to re-visualise a lost world of childhood impressions and a sense of nature’s innocence. The title Disappearing into the Past refers to both memory as a dynamic process, and to the disappearing Polaroid medium.

treffpunkt : berlin ARKEN Museum of Contemporary Art, Ishøj 12 May – 22 July 2012 There are many reasons why Berlin has become an art metropolis. The city offers a dynamic, creative atmosphere, low rents, and an abundance of exhibition spaces – and basically everyone involved in contemporary art is represented there. One of the many Danish artists who has been drawn to the city is Jeppe Hein (b. 1974), whose artwork Why are you here and not somewhere else? literally bends in neon the basic premise of the exhibition. Apart from querying why artists flock to Berlin, the artwork also reflects on the wider existential question of belonging. The exhibition TREFFPUNKT : BERLIN (i.e. ‘Meeting point : Berlin’) at the ARKEN Museum of Modern Art just south of Copenhagen brings together a group of artists with strong ties to the German capital, offering a multifaceted view of the city’s art life and its wellspring of artistic inspiration. Participating artists: benandsebastian (GB/DK), Sophie Calle (FR), Elmgreen & Dragset (DK/NO), Thomas Florschuetz (DE), Thilo Frank (DE), Cyprien Gaillard (FR), Helen Mirra (US), Jeppe Hein (DK), Jacob Kirkegaard (DK), Jakob Kolding (DK), Søren Lose (DK), Simon Dybbroe Møller (DK), Jesper Rasmussen (DK) and Wolfgang Tillmans (DE).

ARKEN, Ishøj 12. maj – 22. juli 2012 Der er mange grunde til, at netop Berlin er blevet kunstmetropol – dens dynamiske og kreative atmosfære, den lave husleje og det faktum, at byen har en overflod af udstillingssteder, og at stort set alle, der internationalt beskæftiger sig med samtidskunst, også har fundet vej til byen. En af de mange danske kunstnere, der er blevet tiltrukket af byen, er Jeppe Hein (f. 1974), hvis kunstværk Why are you here and not somewhere else? bogstaveligt talt bøjer udstillingens grundlæggende præmis i neon. Ud over at stille spørgsmålstegn ved, hvorfor kunstnere strømmer til Berlin, afspejler værket også det mere dybtgående eksistentielle spørgsmål om tilhørsforhold. Udstillingen TREFFPUNKT : BERLIN sammenstiller en gruppe af kunstnere med stærke bånd til den tyske hovedstad og tilbyder et mangfoldigt indblik i byens kunstliv og dens kunstneriske inspiration. Medvirkende kunstnere: benandsebastian (GB/DK), Sophie Calle (FR), Elmgreen & Dragset (DK/NO), Thomas Florschuetz (DE), Thilo Frank (DE), Cyprien Gaillard (FR), Helen Mirra (US), Jeppe Hein (DK), Jacob Kirkegaard (DK), Jakob Kolding (DK), Søren Lose (DK), Simon Dybbroe Møller (DK), Jesper Rasmussen (DK) og Wolfgang Tillmans (DE).

Larissa Sansour: Olive Tree, Nation Estate, 2012

larissa sansour Fotografisk Center 10. august – 7. oktober 2012 Den dansk-palæstinensiske kunstner Larissa Sansour (f. 1973) afholder sin første soloudstilling i Danmark på Fotografisk Center i København, der har fokus på fotografi og videokunst. Hovedværket er Larissa Sansours seneste projekt, Nation Estate, som blev indstillet til Elysée Photo Prize 2011 under temaet la joie de vivre i kølvandet på det palæstinensiske forsøg på at opnå anerkendelse som stat ved FN. Værket består af 8-10 fotos i storformat og en fem minutter lang kortfilm. Larissa Sansours sci-fi-fotoserie afspejler en dystopisk fremtidsvision, hvor den palæstinensiske stat kun består af et enkelt højhus. Checkpoints, der før besværliggjorde rejsen mellem byer, er nu overflødiggjort af den lette rejse med elevator. Hendes kunst engagerer sig i politisk dialog, men er samtidig også humoristisk i sin leg med referencer til film og popkultur og udfordrer vores virkelighedsforståelse ved at skabe parallelle universer med nye værdisystemer, der skal afkodes. Fotografisk Center hører hjemme i det gamle Carlsberg bryggeriområde i Valby, der i de senere år har udviklet sig til et nyt område for kunst. Centret deler bygning med Nordens største center for moderne dans, Dansehallerne/Dansescenen. Billetter til forestillinger giver også adgang til Fotografisk Center. Tjek det aktuelle danseprogram på www.dansehallerne.dk. I området finder du også førende gallerier for samtidskunst i projektet Ny Carlsberg Vej 68: www.nycarlsbergvej68.dk

Photographic Centre, Copenhagen 10 August – 7 October 2012 Palestinian-Danish artist Larissa Sansour (b. 1973) is to host her first solo exhibition in Denmark at the Photographic Centre in Copenhagen, which is dedicated to photography and video art. The main work featured is Larissa Sansour’s most recent project Nation Estate, which was initiated for the Elysée Photo Prize 2011 under the theme la joie de vivre in the wake of the Palestinian bid for nationhood at the UN. The work consists of 8-10 largeformat photos and a five-minute short film. Larissa Sansour’s sci-fi photo series depicts a dystopian vision of a future Palestinian state reduced to the size of a single skyscraper with each floor representing a whole city – a ‘nation estate’. Intercity trips previously marred by checkpoints are now easily made by elevator. While immersed in the current political dialogue, her interdisciplinary art practice and her humorous playing with references to film and pop culture challenge our perception of reality, and create parallel universes in which new value systems can be decoded. The Photographic Centre is located in the old Carlsberg brewery area, which has in recent years evolved into a new art zone. The centre shares its building with Scandinavia’s largest centre for contemporary dance, Dansehallerne/Dansescenen. Tickets for performances also grant you access to the Photographic Centre.

art guide ANIKA LORI Den succesfulde danske kunstner Anika Lori har slået sit navn fast ved at arbejde med en række forskellige kunstneriske udtryk i en eklektisk rock ‘n’ roll, copyand-paste teknik, der bliver til i mødet mellem det groteske og det umiddelbart æstetiske. Med en inspiration, der har sin rod dels i popkunsten og surrealismen, og dels i glæden og smerten skaber Lori et univers, der virker på én gang dragende og provokerende. Loris stærke kunstneriske udtryk og visuelle gennemslagskraft har kunnet opleves på separatudstillinger i nogle af topgallerierne i Berlin, Paris London, Zürich og København. Hun repræsenteres af Gallery VI.

art guide SUSSI TRAMPEDACH Sussi Trampedach klæder sine dyrelignende mennesker i forførende, smukt tøj. Ved at lade dem være smukke, dragende og velklædte, og samtidig udstyre dem med en dyrisk eller mystisk side, peger Sussi Trampedach på de dobbeltheder, som er et vilkår for mennesket. Det at signalere, hvem man er, og måske endda forsøge at ændre sig via sit tøj, optager Sussi Trampedach meget. Hendes undersøgelser af det menneskelige væsen handler i høj grad om at pege på, hvordan vi forholder os til samfundet og til de konventioner, der bestemmer, hvordan vi lever sammen.

Sussi Trampedach dresses her animal-like beings in seductively beautiful clothes. By rendering them as ravishing and lavishly dressed with an animalistic or mystical aspect to their being, Sussi Trampedach draws attention to the double sidedness that is part of our condition. In her art, Sussi Trampedach is preoccupied with how we use clothes to make statements and how attitudes change when dress codes change.
