Last chance: Mille Kalsmose at Kunsten Museum of Modern Art

Mille Kalsmose’s work Cosmic Relations is currently on view at Kunsten Museum of Modern Art as part of the exhibition If You See What I See – Stine Goya x Kunsten. On view until January 4, 2026.

Kunsten has invited the internationally renowned Danish fashion designer Stine Goya to explore the museum’s collection of nearly 4,000 artworks. The result is an aesthetic, intuitive art experience featuring carefully selected works that, in interaction, create a narrative about separation, longing, dreams, and desire.

Instead of following a classical art historical narrative, the exhibition emphasizes an aesthetic, sensory-driven, and personal approach, offering new perspectives and insights into Kunsten’s collection.

Opening Saturday December 6

Join us for the opening of Writing on the Wall, a new solo exhibition by Kristian Dahlgaard, on Saturday December 6 at 13 – 16. Dahlgaard’s wall-mounted sculptures unfurl across the surface as gestural tracings made from metal and rendered in vivid colours, like three-dimensional drawings in space rather than on paper.

Book Launch with Nicolai Howalt

We’re really proud and happy to finally announce that Nicolai Howalt’s new book Fungi will be officially released on the 20th of November, 2025.

After a long and careful process, the books have arrived from Narayana Press — and they look beautiful: Fabric-bound hardcover with rounded corners and colored edges; printet on two different types of paper with a five-page leporello folding out from the back. It’s a publication we’ve been working on for a long time and we’re incredibly proud of the result.

Fungi contemplates a realm largely invisible to the naked eye, yet as essential to life on Earth as sunlight or oxygen.Working at the intersection of scientific inquiry and artistic experimentation, artist Nicolai Howalt integrates different species of fungi directly into the creative and photographic processes, allowing these enigmatic and vital organisms to influence the visual and material outcomes of the work.

Each image unfolds as a quiet dialogue between human intention and non-human agency: traces of life briefly lived on light-sensitive paper, marks formed through nourishment and erosion, fragile imprints of growth and decay, presence and disappearance.

Fungi is neither a scientific catalogue nor a botanical manual, but a poetic and visual meditation on fungi and their role in shaping life and matter — a reflection on transformation, coexistence, processes of image-making, and the unpredictable aesthetics of living organisms.

At a time when fungi are increasingly recognised as key to the future of ecological balance, medicine, and sustainable innovation, the book gathers Howalt’s experimental works into a poetic and tactile volume, designed by the award-winning Rasmus Koch Studio and printed by Narayana Press, with accompanying texts by author Morten Søndergaard and mycologist Henning Knudsen.

Fungi was made possible by the generous support of New Carlsberg Foundation, Bestles Fond, Poul Johansen Fonden af 1992, Danish Arts Foundation, Dansk Tennis Fond, Arne V. Schleschs Fond.

Winner of the Heitland Honorary prize 2025

Mille Kalsmose received the Heitland Foundation Honorary Prize 2025, together with Eva Steen Christensen og Louise Hindsgavl.

Elina Brotherus’ solo show Seabound opens Saturday

Martin Asbæk Gallery is delighted to present Seabound, a solo exhibition by Finnish artist Elina Brotherus. Commissioned by the Tangen Collection in Norway, the works on view are generously on loan from Kunstsilo. This marks the first presentation of the Seabound series in Denmark and coincides with Brotherus’ major solo exhibition at Kunsten Museum of Modern Art in Aalborg.

Elina Brotherus’ practice oscillates between the autobiographical and the art historical. In recent years, she has revisited Fluxus event scores and other performance-based instructions from the 1950s to the 1970s, transforming them into visual narratives. In her publication of the same title, Brotherus introduces SEABOUND by reflecting on the origin of its name, which she calls a misunderstanding: “Or a mistranslation, to be exact.”

Much of the series draws inspiration from Norwegian performance artist Kurt Johannessen, known for his small books filled with “øvingar” – short, poetic exercises. While working in Norway, Brotherus carried these instructions with her, one of which read: Havbunnen to netter på rad. The artist recalls: ”Seabound, I thought, two nights in a row. How beautiful. That’s me! I was in the outer archipelago and was drawn to the sea all the time, day and night.”

It was only later that she discovered her poetic interpretation was off. Bunnen, which she had mistaken for the Swedish bunden (meaning “bound”), in Norwegian actually means “bottom.” Johannessen was referring to the seabed, not a romantic yearning for the sea. But by then, the moment had passed – and the image had been made: Brotherus, in a red coat, captured on the second night, gazing out over the open water.
