ESBEN WEILE KJÆR X BRODIE. For Brodie Five, multidisciplinary artist Esben Weile Kjær has created a limited birthday selection of objects intersecting souvenirs, artworks and utility items. Inspired by well-known motives and materials from everyday life and his own artistic practice, Weile Kjær has scaled down the motifs instead of his usual practice of magnifying them, further examining the concepts of false and true, high and low.
The five-object drop is the first of its kind and marks the opening of the Brodie Store and webshop, designed as an interactive, immersive 3D version of the Brodie house. The limited edition art works will be sold on sight at affordable prices during the event.
Esben Weile Kjær, b. 1992 in Aarhus, Denmark, lives and work in Copenhagen, Denmark, and graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2022. With a background as a DJ and a degree in Music Management from the Rhythmic Music Conservatory (RMC), his artistic practice spans performances, installations and sculptures, examining identity among his own generation and the roles of popular culture and technology in determining our experience of community and freedom.
Esben Weile Kjær has had several solo shows, including at Kunstforeningen GL Strand and Copenhagen Contemporary, and has shown his works internationally, including at Museum Tinguely in Basel, Centre Pompidou in Paris, and Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. Currently he has a solo exhibition at Kunsten Museum of Modern Art.
