Folded Objects - the work of Poul Christiansen at A Petersen

/

An exhibition to mark the 50th anniversary of Sinusline, Model 172 - one of the most popular lamps produced by the Danish lighting company LE KLINT. It was designed by Poul Christiansen and was launched in 1971.

The exhibition includes a number of the folded paper lamps and elegant and complex geometric forms with sharp folded lines in paper that are fascinating, small-scale sculptures.

LE KLINT was established in 1943 and Poul Christiansen has been working with the company for more than fifty years.

Graduation2020 - the work of students from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Bornholm

/

An exhibition of their degree projects by students who graduated this year from the programme of Crafts: Glass and Ceramics at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Design School Bornholm.

Here you can see the works in glass and ceramics as young artists and makers explore materials and techniques and as they develop a distinct approach to their craft.

The range of styles is incredible but clear themes through all the pieces are the exploration of colour and the use of distinct and strong texture as they relate to both the material and to the forms explored.

An important aspect of the exhibition is how the graduates chose to display and to light their work.

the exhibition ends on 4 October 2020

The exhibition catalogue designed by Rasmus Kvist has a short introduction and then, for each student, a short description of their work with photographs by Kirstine Autzen.

 

Optur at the A Petersen Gallery is to continue

Optur - the current exhibition at the Anders Petersen Gallery in Copenhagen - shows the work of both the furniture maker Teis Dich Abrahamsen and his sister, the artist Louise Dich Abrahamsen, but, of course, with the crisis of coronavirus, the gallery has not been open.

The exhibition was due to end today - the 29th March - but the gallery has just sent out an email newsletter and has updated their online site to say that it has been agreed with the artists that, once restrictions are lifted and the gallery reopens, the exhibition can continue until 2nd August.

It’s an exhibition about the creative process and the inspiration for art and about the skill and ingenuity of a master craftsman. These amazing structures explore movement through incredibly complicated spaces that are part maze, part toy, part wunderkammer or cabinet of curiosities but with a stripped-down Danish aesthetic and a fascination with different timbers.

The works are mesmerising and this could hardly be a better antidote to the stress from the shutdown when the city reopens.
