Curated for
CHART

Alice Folker Gallery is pleased to present new earthenware vessels by Karim Boumjimar, over dimensioned bronze sculptures of ears by Ragnhild May, wall sculptures with women figures and oysters by Anna Stahn alongside paintings by Frederik Næblerød at CHART 2025. Spanning across different modalities, formats and materials, the featured works expose doing or perhaps overdoing to the point of the grotesque. They ask us, what happens when bodies or body parts are enlarged to the point of absurdity or when humans and animals are fused to the point of unrecognizability.

Asger Harbou Gjerdevik (DK)

Asger Harbou Gjerdevik works with various media including painting, sculpture, collage, and drawing, allowing for an open and intuitive approach to image-making. His practice is rooted in a process of accumulation, where materials, forms, and references are continuously added, reworked, and layered. Fragments from art history, everyday life, and visual culture are interwoven and transformed, creating dense compositions that resist fixed interpretation. The resulting works often appear as complex, dynamic structures—pictorial spaces that feel simultaneously spontaneous and considered. Rather than striving for resolution, Gjerdevik embraces ambiguity and instability, suggesting a visual language in constant motion, with the potential for perpetual change and reinterpretation.

Asger Harbou Gjerdevik (b. 1986, DK) holds an MFA from the Royal College of Art and a BA from Central Saint Martins. He has exhibited at Kunstforeningen Gl. Strand, Den Frie, Skovgaard Museum, Art Brussels, and Philipp Haverkampf, and completed public commissions for the Eastern and Western High Courts in Denmark.

Anna Stahn (DK)

Anna Stahn is a visual artist working with formats on paper, in text, and sculpturally in metals, ceramics, and textiles. Her practice is informed by an attention to women's lives, culture economies, and modernity. Hair, lipstick, letters, shoes, dresses, books, pearls, and oysters are recurring objects that she uses to stage the contrasts of a material world filled with beauty and ugliness, fragility and power. In her universal situations, vibes and characters are portrayed with humoristic sensibility and attention to detail materializing feelings of desire, lust, humiliation, nervousness, and the power of being dressed in just the right way.

Anna Stahn (b. 1994, DK) lives and works in Copenhagen. She has an MFA from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen and Parsons Fine Art, The New School, NYC. Previous exhibitions include: Skovgaard Museum, Viborg; Politikens Forhal, Copenhagen; Gl. Strand, Copenhagen; and Gl. Holtegaard, Holte.

Frederik Næblerød (DK)

Frederik Næblerød is a visual artist whose works span across paintings, drawings, ceramics, bronzes, installations, and off-grid projects. He is known for his uncompromising works that challenge our understandings of art in their raw, energic, and playful form. His works are expressive, sometimes bordering on the grotesque, creating a universe filled with spontaneity, absurdity, and humor. Often inspired by his immediate surroundings, he converts the wild, quivering energy from life, people, and things around him to present pertinent works whose materials, motifs, sizes, and messages span widely.

Frederik Næblerød (b. 1988, DK) has an MFA from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen. Previous exhibitions include ARKEN, Ishøj; Gl. Holtegaard, Holte; Horsens Art Museum, Horsens; Vejle Art Museum, Vejle; Trapholt, Kolding; Skovgaard Museum, Viborg; The Telegraph, Czech Republic; and Jeppe Hein Studio, Berlin.
