Magnus Andersen (DK)

Magnus Andersen’s practice derives from an interest in the relationship between image and representation, and how living images and painting function in a world strongly influenced by visual impressions. Andersen develops archetypal figures and translates them into paintings with an almost eerie sensibility. Romantic notions of country life, youth and the sweet life are often present in his work. His compositions often feature misplaced symbols, which emphasize the satirical, and surreal moods of his paintings.

Magnus Andersen (b. 1987; DK) graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen (DK) and Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main, Frankfurt (DE). Recent exhibitions of Andersen’s work include at MMK, Frankfurt (DE); Foundation Cartier, Paris (FR); Kunstverein Weisbaden, Wiesbaden (DE); Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (DK). In 2022, Andersen received Niels Wessel Bagges Honorary Artist Grant.

Benedikte Bjerre (DK)

Benedikte Bjerre works conceptually with socio-economic phenomena in a versatile practice that focuses on sculpture and installation to reflect on the current state of society. Concepts that shape our vision of the world, such as distribution, consumption, and desire, form the basis for her playful but serious works. Sculptural qualities are consistently examined in relation to the architecture of a given space. Bjerre’s source material ranges from observations about everyday life to expectations of how viewers will experience their surroundings.

Benedikte Bjerre (b. 1987, Copenhagen; DK) graduated in 2015 from Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main, Frankfurt (DE), and in 2016 from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen (DK). Bjerre’s work has been the subject of prominent exhibitions including at Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Wolfsburg (DE); MMK, Frankfurt (DE); Kunstverein Göttingen, Göttingen (DE); SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen (DK); ARKEN Museum for Modern Art, Ishøj (DK).

Ann Lislegaard (NO)

Ann Lislegaard is internationally known for her visionary videos, animations, and sound-light installations that engage storytelling—specifically science fiction—to explore the malleability of human perception. The subversive potential of science fiction enables everyday scenarios to be framed by unusual rules. Rather than deconstructing categories of language or meaning, these categories are multiplied, transformed, and transfixed. In Lislegaard's work, experiences of simulated spheres are created by means of interdisciplinary hybrids and connections – between architecture and cinema, between fictional narratives, and between human beings, machines, and animals.

Recent exhibitions include: VERTIGO, ARoS, 2022, World Machine, Schlossmuseum, Linz, Austria, 2022, extinct, palace enterprise, 2021, Traces of Life, ARKEN, 2021, Fertile Ghosts, Kunstfort, Vijfhuizen, 2020. Lislegaard’s work can be found in the collections of: ARoS—Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Aarhus, Denmark, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Denmark, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY, US among others.

Tora Schultz (DK)

Coming from a position of feminist, critical thinking, Tora Schultz examines structural discrimination in our physical surroundings. Within her sculptural practice, Schultz recontextualizes everyday items – from kitchen racks, car seats and furniture - with precision and humor, often in reference to gender biases that haunt institutional design. With a passionate attention to the qualities of materials, she extrapolates subtle social tensions inherent in the objects around us and draws attention to the overlooked narratives we live in.

Tora Schultz (b. 1991; DK) holds an MFA from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm (2021). Schultz’s recent exhibitions include O—Overgaden, Copenhagen (DK); Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art, Copenhagen (DK); Museum Sønderjylland, Tønder (DK); palace enterprise, Copenhagen (DK); SKF/Konstnärshuset, Stockholm (SE). In 2022, Schultz received Carl Nielsen and Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen’s talent award.
