Jon Kessler - The Palace at 4 A.M.

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

Gl. Strandvej 13
3050 Humlebæk
Exhibition
9 April 2008 - 25 May 2008

On 9th April Louisiana lets a technological monster into its exhibition halls. Jon Kessler's installation work "The Palace at 4 A.M." is a noisy termite's nest of surveillance cameras, more than a hundred monitors, kilometres of cable, giant posters and mechanical sculptures. In short, a monumental political work that gives free rein to the global paranoia after the terrorist attack of 11th September 2001 and the invasion of Iraq.

The "Palace at 4 A.M." is absolutely Kessler's most ambitious production to date. It was created in 2005 for the PS1 Contemporary Art Center in New York and helped to re-situate him as one of the USA's most important contemporary artists after a break of almost ten years from the mid-1990s on.

Copenhagen — 7 April 2008

Peter Land, David Shrigley, Jonathan Monk, Christoph Ruckhäberle, Christian Schmidt-Rasmussen - contemplating modern art

Galleri Nicolai Wallner

Njalsgade 21 (Building 15)

Exhibition
11 April 2008 - 31 May 2008

Galleri Nicolai Wallner is happy to present the group exhibition "contemplating modern art" with Peter Land, David Shrigley, Jonathan Monk, Christoph Ruckhäberle, and Christian Schmidt-Rasmussen. When we perceive the world visually, we are not just passively seeing what is there, we are constantly determining where one object ends and the next one begins. Looking at art is almost a skill, something that is learned through experience. On the other hand some works make themselves visible in a way that can be surprisingly immediate. Read more...

The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2008, and is marking the event with the anniversary exhibition "Cézanne & Giacometti" - an exhibition that is both a new story of the two artists and their life and work, and a story about what art is and what the artistic process of creation is. The exhibition consists broadly of three "chapters" - or three exhibitions in one. Read more...
