Wilson Saplana Gallery (DK)

It is Wilson Saplana's mission to exhibit visionary artists and present high-quality experimental exhibitions. Working from the method of artistic development the gallery has shown a strong ability to spot younger artistic talents and support their professional artistic careers. The gallery is international both in its way of working and thinking and values a diverse program. The represented artists work with multiple media, are from different nationalities and are not tied to one generation. The gallery was founded in January 2022 by gallerist Christina Wilson, art advisor and former owner of Gallery Christina Wilson (2000-2012), and curator Nanna Saplana.

Ida Sønder Thorhauge (DK)

Ida Sønder Thorhauge is a visual artist working primarily with figurative painting. In her works, monumental female bodies and animals appear situated in vibrant, abstract landscapes. In her world, no one has the sole claim to gender, expression, and behaviour. Thorhauge’s works portray many positions and transformations that humans and other creatures move through in a lived life. Reflecting on the great Fauvist and Modernist masters’ depictions of monumental figures, Thorhauge’s paintings evoke confrontation and the cultural liberation of figures, both human and non-human, throughout art history.

Ida Sønder Thorhauge (b. 1990, Aarhus; DK) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. Thorhauge holds an MFA from The Jutland Art Academy (2011-2016). She has exhibited at art institutions and museums all over Denmark including: Overgaden (Copenhagen; DK), Kunsthal Aarhus (Aarhus; DK), Kunsthal Nord (Aalborg; DK), Roskilde Festival (Roskilde; DK) and OK Corral (Copenhagen; DK). In 2020 she was awarded a spot in The Danish Arts Foundation's career program: The Young Artistic Elite. Thorhauge’s works are included in the permanent collections of The Danish Arts Foundation, The New Carlsberg Foundation and The Museum of Religious Art (Lemvig; DK). In July 2024 Thorhauge will present her first museum exhibition at The Museum of Religious Art in Lemvig, Denmark.

Sophie Calle (FR)

Sophie Calle has exhibited extensively throughout the world since the late 1970s. Variously described as a conceptual artist, a photographer, a movie director, and even a detective, she has developed a practice that is instantly recognizable for its distinct narrative elements and combination of images with text.

Sophie Calle (b. 1953, Paris; FR) lives and works in Malakoff, France. Works by the artist are represented in the permanent collections of museums including The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York; US), Museum of Modern Art (New York; US), The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York; US), Centre Pompidou (Paris; FR), Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris; FR), Tate Museum (London; UK), Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Humlebæk; DK) and Hasselblad Foundation (Göteborg, SE).
