Curated for
CHART

For CHART 2024, Martin Asbæk Gallery will present three significant Danish artists working with painting, photography, and sculpture, respectively, all creating meeting points across media, times, and geographical locations.

Trine Søndergaard (DK)

Trine Søndergaard is a photography-based visual artist. Her work is marked by a precision and a sensibility that co-exist with an investigation of the medium of photography, its boundaries and what constitutes an image. Layered with meaning and quiet emotion, her works are highly acclaimed for their visual intensification of our perception of reality. A central theme in Trine Søndergaard’s oeuvre is vision and the gaze. She utilises a circular visual poetics, in which motifs and phrases from earlier works create meaningful connections.

Trine Søndergaard (b. 1972, Grenaa; DK) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. Søndergaard studied drawing and painting in Aalborg and Copenhagen from 1992 to 1994, and later attended Fatamorgana – School of Art Photography in Copenhagen. Søndergaard’s work has been featured in many international group and solo exhibitions, most recently at The National Photography Collection of Denmark, Gl. Holtegaard and Gothenburg Art Museum.

Peter Bonde (DK)

Peter Bonde has for many decades experimented with painting – or image-making – in an expanded field. These experiments cover everything from painting on mirror foil to the inclusion of text, photography as well as the work of other artists in his compositions. In this way, Bonde's works become a form of interface or connecting point between disparate visual elements.

Peter Bonde (b. 1958, Kastrup; DK) is a Danish artist, awarded the Eckersberg Medal 2003 and Statens Kunstfond’s Lifetime Achievement Award 2011. Bonde represented Denmark at the Venice Biennale in 1999 and in 2019 he collaborated with Danh Vo, who incorporated Bonde’s paintings as conceptual readymades. Bonde’s work is represented in numerous collections.

Ebbe Stub Wittrup (DK)
