Skriver om min kærestesorg over, at Centre Pompidou snart lukker for renovering - frem til 2030. Alle ved at fem år let bliver til ti. Kunsthistorie er mange ting. Det er blandt andet de historier og oplevelser, vi deler med hinanden. Hvem holder den store kunstsamtale i gang, mens Pompidou er på pause…❤️🩹
Artikel til Weekendavisen skrevet i Gudhjem med udsigt til Ole Hertz’ kulturcenter for de lokale bier.
Go see Wolfgang Tillmans’s beautiful love message in the library at the Centre Pompidou💔The last exhibition before the museum closes for the next 5 years due to major renovations and extensions of the building. It’s hard to believe that it will ever be possible to make a place like this again. The show feels like an ode to all of that, too❤️
‘For Indigenous people, it can be a little scary to think about erasure and removal when talking about monuments’, says collective New Red Order.
I don’t think I have ever interviewed someone about an artwork that I haven’t seen IRL. But I was so excited by the images of the monument to coloniser Thomas Morton by New Red Order that I simply had to know more about this amazing carnivalesque monument in downtown Boston!
While Zack Khalil and Jackson Polys are still based in New York City, Adam Khalil moved to Copenhagen in 2020. So we met at his studio near Nørrebro Station to talk about making a monument to a coloniser in a place known as the colonial wellspring of North America. We also discussed how the members of NRO navigate the expectations associated with performing indigeneity for a non-Indigenous audience – and why the Nike Shox heel makes the perfect seventeenth-century settler shoe.
I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope a lot of people will get to know more about New Red Order’s humanistic and ultra-clever take on all these matters. Best artwork of 2025 is already here!

L.A. POP NOIR Skriver om fantastiske Kaari Upson på Louisiana, det tætteste man kommer californisk psyko-thriller i skikkelse af billedkunst. Om at være jævnaldrende med den nu afdøde kunstner, og at det på en måde bringer værket endnu tættere på. Iblandet spekulyser om, hvor vi muligvis kunne ha mødt hinanden …

Ny vinde blæste over Christiania og selvom alle lidt holder vejret, så klæder det virkelig Staden, at de værste rovmordere er væk. Cheekys charmerende gavlmaleri på Stjerneskibet var uanset en god start… Brodie Five kastede Debbie Sings ind i en boksering og cementerede hyperpop som vor tids punk, inkl. koklokker og bunnymaske… Og så fyldte Ursula Reuter Christiansen Arken med kunst og liv fra en tilsyneladende uendelig kilde på Møn. Mere om mine favoritter fra året, link i bio. Glædelig jul💛💛💛

My first visit to Warsaw in 2016 was a complete revelation. I was blown away by the art scene. Not least with the way in which the MSN Warsaw was operating as an institution. I vividly remember a group of young people kneeling in a corner of the museum busily making what they called “anti-anti-abortion banners” for protest rallies against stricter abortion laws. Unsurprisingly, the former government also had little sympathy for contemporary art. This has changed now and my expectations for the reopening of MSN Warsaw were high. After 20 years as a nomadic institution, the museum opened last weekend in a new building in the heart of Warsaw. This was already a respected institution. But the reopening leaves no doubt that it is one of Europe’s top museums. I wrote a report about it for @kunstkritikk Link in bio. Gratulacje! ❤️🤍

En anglais! Delighted to share that my book on Tal R’s paintings since the 1990s now has an English sister. Also, a second edition of the Danish original hit the streets. Bon weekend🍁🍂🤎
