Everyone’s talking about the Rat Bag – now it’s coming to CC 🐀 Vogue, Highsnobiety, I-D and many others had it on their radar when @esbenweile’s Rat Bag premiered at @annesofiemadsenstudio’s SS26 collection during Copenhagen Fashion Week. After selling out at Art Basel 2026, the Rat Bag is coming home to Copenhagen as the CC Edition, available for preorder now. On Friday 27 November, you can pick up your pre-ordered Rat Bag. From 18:15–18:45, you can experience Esben Weile Kjær and Anne Sofie Madsen in conversation about rats, design and the line between art and fashion. There’ll be music, drinks and a giant inflatable rat sculpture in the foyer. Pre-order via link in bio. 📍Friday 27 November, 17:45-19:45 @ CC 11 Nov 2026

Over the next week, a mini version of Hardcore Freedom (2020) will be on view in a bathroom on the 7th floor of a former capsule hotel in Tokyo. The rehearsals over the past few days have been incredibly special.

My Silver Guardians have just arrived at Aalborg Hospital! They are part of my new permanent public commission for the children and youth department, bringing together stainless steel sculptures, stained glass and glass mosaics, all created around themes of protection, fantasy and transformation. 13 Oct 2026

Josefine Seifert shot these portraits of us while installing ULTIMATE CHARGE last month. The show is open through October 10. 23 Sep 2026

Glamorous ticks, rats and carnivorous plants have invaded Ørstedsparken for my exhibition THIRST TRAP, September 4–12. 05 Sep 2026

„Kind, du willst Künstler werden? Wovon willst du denn leben?“ So lautet wohl immer noch die Standardantwort auf diesen Berufswunsch – und nicht ganz zu Unrecht. Nur 10 bis 20 Prozent der heute in Deutschland tätigen Künstlerinnen und Künstler können ihren Lebensunterhalt damit bestreiten, und das meist sehr bescheiden. Der Schritt an eine Kunstakademie erfordert daher nicht nur Talent, sondern auch Mut – und die Fähigkeit, inmitten von Selbstzweifeln und spätpubertärer Verpeiltheit die eigene künstlerische Stimme zu finden. Zum Semesterstart haben wir erfolgreiche Künstlerinnen und Künstler nach ihren Anfängen gefragt. Anne Imhof, Judith Hopf, Simon Denny, Cao Fei, Amy Sillman und andere haben uns ihre eindrücklichsten Erinnerungen an die Akademie verraten. Besonders gradlinig waren ihre Wege nicht. Künstlerbiografien sind so spannend, weil sie oft einer Suche gleichen – und weil sie zeigen: Scheitern gehört dazu. Einer, der überhaupt keine Angst davor zu haben scheint, ist unser Titelkünstler Esben Weile Kjær. Er schießt Feuerwerk in den Himmel, installiert riesige aufblasbare Ratten in verführerischem Gold, inszeniert Performances voller Glitter und Exzess – und wird damit weltweit herumgereicht, mit gerade mal Mitte 30. Hinter seinen glänzenden Oberflächen steckt eine ziemlich harte Analyse unserer spätkapitalistischen Existenz. Anne Imhof hat uns übrigens einen wunderbaren Rat geschickt: „Bei dem, was du tust, geht es um Liebe und um Exzellenz.“ Als Lebensmotto gar nicht schlecht. _____ Cover: Esben Weile Kjær „I Want to Believe“, 2023 #monopolmagazin #monopoloctoberissue26 @elkebuhr @esbenweile @anne_imhof @judith_hopf @sden023 @cao_fei 18 Sep 2026

For our October cover story, we met Danish artist @esbenweile Kjær in Copenhagen – and now the full portrait is available in English on Monopol International.⁠ ⁠ “Pop culture isn’t something I look at from the outside. It’s something that shaped me,” Kjær says. And it shows. His artistic palette stretches from Teletubbies and Tumblr to trance, Brutalist architecture, confetti showers and meme culture. He decorates rats with champagne-colored rhinestones, gives Jeff Koons’ balloon dogs dangerous teeth and turns Tinky Winky into a giant golden spider. Parties, performances, sculptures: almost anything can become material.⁠ ⁠ Kjær belongs to the first generation to grow up with social media, and behind the glossy surfaces of his work lies a darker question: What has that done to our psyche and emotional lives? His art moves between beauty and threat, hedonism and anxiety, entertainment and the horror of late capitalism. Even the promise of escapism has become complicated when every night can be photographed, archived and turned into content.⁠ ⁠ And then there’s nostalgia. Kjær sees our obsession with the past as an attempt to hold on to something familiar when we no longer know where we’re going. But there is no original to return to: everything is a remix. Nothing is quite what it seems.⁠ ⁠ Read @lauraewertofficial’s full portrait of Esben Weile Kjær now on Monopol International – and subscribe to our new weekly newsletter, written and edited by @kate__brown, to keep up with the latest stories, interviews and perspectives from Monopol International.
