Too seductive, too dangerous, too much.
Maria Koshenkova @mariakoshenkova walks us through her works in She-Devil, the group exhibition at @innenkreis. Eight women artists take on the “bad woman”: the femme fatale, the witch, the difficult, the hysterical. They reclaim her and tell her story their way.
Taking its cue from Susan Sontag’s “Notes on ‘Camp’”, the show treats theatricality and excess as forms of resistance. The She-Devil is a maximalist icon.

EXHIBITION I LYS & FORM — Snedkernes Efterårsudstilling 2026
@snedkernes_efteraarsudstilling at @museum.ordrupgaard
I had the opportunity to visit the exhibition the day after its opening and was struck by the variety and thoughtfulness of both the scenography and each individual design object. I couldn’t help but stop, observe and photograph. As a Frenchman living in Denmark, I also appreciated seeing new Danish design next to Rodin’s The Thinker. A few of my favourites are in this carousel.
On view until 13 December 2026.

UDSTILLING I LYS & FORM — Snedkernes Efterårsudstilling 2026
Jeg besøgte udstillingen dagen efter åbningen og blev imponeret over, hvor varieret og gennemtænkt både scenografien og de enkelte designobjekter er. Jeg måtte stoppe op, kigge og fotografere. Som franskmand bosat i Danmark satte jeg også pris på at se nyt dansk design side om side med Rodins Tænkeren. Her er et udvalg i denne karrusel.
Kan ses til 13. december 2026.

Emerging Artist Award 2026 - 15.Juni Fonden
Congratulations to the recipients of the 15JF Emerging Artist Award 2026, presented by 15. Juni Fonden to celebrate outstanding graduation works from Danish art academies! Alongside a grant of DKK 50,000, each recipient receives an 11-month development programme at Art Hub Copenhagen to support the transition into an independent artistic practice.
Read more in link at bio.
Aase Nielsen (@couchsurf_couture) was awarded for the graduation work Gudesange (The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts). Working across music and film, Nielsen draws on Eddic and skaldic verse to explore Old Norse cultural heritage and the voices preserved or silenced during the shift to Christianity. Through understated layers of song, whispers, and cinematic imagery, the work turns historical material into an active exploration of language, gender, and power.
Julia O. Laszczka (@julialaszczka) was recognized for Arch (The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts). Taking the office desk as a focal point, the work Arch consists of two heavy, dark-brown desks positioned parallel to one another, reflecting on the surfaces and positions of power. This solid presence is disrupted by colored metallic paper and plexiglass slipping through the joints, opening up sensory cracks where control meets fragility and resistance.
Zuzanna Kozłowska (@zuziakozlowska) was honored for Abstract man (1-7) (Det Fynske Kunstakademi). Spanning painting, sculpture, and architecture, the installation features seven interconnected, red-painted wooden boxes that follow the exhibition walls and round a corner. Drawing from and departing from modernist abstraction, Kozłowska makes the surrounding room essential, drawing the viewer’s body and perception into the dialogue between form and space.

"This is not therapy." - Tilda Lundbohm @tildalundbohm 🦋
Drawing on her own experiences, Tilda Lundbohm transforms the personal into sensory works and installations that invite reflection on vulnerability, care and what it means to inhabit a body.
"I really think you need to have overcome something, or at least gained some distance from it, to be able to make art that can also become interesting or meaningful for other people."
Read the conversation between Tilda Lundbohm and Anna Fernsten Nilén at the link in bio or at artmatter.dk/en
And don't miss out on the current show 'Krydsfelt' at Kirsten Kjærs Museum @kirstenkjaers

I aften uddeles EMERGING ARTIST AWARD 2026 - ART in the MAKING på O - Overgaden Institut for Samtidskunst.
Vi er stolte af at Julia Laszczka, studerende på Det Fynske Kunstakademis Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen program for kunst i offentlige rum, er én af prismodtagerne.
Julia modtager prisen for sit afgangsværk fra BKS. I Laszczkas værker mødes det stringente og kontrollerede med det skrøbelige, sanselige og uregerlige. Materialer og overflader bliver redskaber til at undersøge, hvordan magt iscenesættes – og hvordan modstand kan opstå i sprækkerne.
Jurymedlem, forfatter og kunstanmelder Mai Misfeldt skriver:
”Laszczkas værker lægger sig ind i konceptkunstens kølige, matter of fact-agtige spor. Men ind ad alle sprækker pibler materialerne med alle deres materielle, konkrete og sanselige merbetydninger.”
Stort tillykke med prisen Julia!

Only a short time left to experience PAPPWELT before it closes on October 31.
In her solo exhibition at Heltborg Museum, Nana RHB takes what is typically discarded—everyday packaging cardboard—and transforms it into a compelling dialogue on beauty, transience, and consumer culture. By unfolding, tearing, and layering boxes marked by printed logos, typography, and worn edges, she merges painting, collage, and photography into textured pictorial surfaces.
From across the room, familiar, classical flower still lifes emerge. Step closer, and the compositions dissolve back into the tactile fragments of daily consumption, giving new life and narrative to materials that have already lived one.
If you are in Denmark, make the trip to see these works in person before the doors close at the end of the month.

Inside the Studio | MatWay – The Neograttage Process
How does a painting emerge through removal?
A glimpse into my studio and the creative process behind Neograttage – a painting technique I developed in 2013.
Working with layers of acrylic paint, I reveal colours and forms by scratching into the surface. Every gesture is irreversible. Every decision leaves a trace.
🎬 Watch the full studio film on YouTube and discover how my paintings come to life.

Returning to @valdemarsslot for Season Two, Pernille With Madsen (@pernillewithmadsen) subtly evolves her monumental installation within the historic Riding Hall.
Building upon her initial vision, she introduces quiet new nuances to this dreamlike archaeological site—where classical fragments emerge from sand and a gold-sealed doorway subtly alters our perception of historical truth.
Season Two draws to a close on the 19th of September.

Final days to catch Sarah Lucas’s brilliant solo presentation at @valdemarsslot, closing on the 19th of September.
Set within the historic Tea Pavilion, her iconic ‘Bunny’ series brings bold anatomical contortions, vibrant colour, and flamboyant footwear into a direct, humorous dialogue with traditional decorum. A quiet disruption in an extraordinary setting.
A few favorite frames from the exhibition above.
📍 Valdemars Slot Season 2 — Open daily until 19 September

Congratulations to Cathrine Raben Davidsen on being commissioned to paint the first official portrait of HM King Frederik X for the historic Great Hall at Frederiksborg Castle.
Having had the pleasure of photographing Cathrine, I have long admired the quiet depth, restraint, and mastery she brings to her craft. To see her join a centuries-old royal tradition at Frederiksborg is a magnificent milestone for an exceptional artist.
The portrait will be unveiled on the 25th of September.

Time is running out to experience Anna Munk’s site-specific exhibition in the Garden Room at Valdemars Slot.
Working with oil paint alongside everyday cosmetics—foundation, lip gloss, eyeshadow, and highlighter—Munk translates Carl Gustaf Pilo’s historical palette into quiet studies of transience. Her atmospheric cloud overdoors and dissolving still lifes sit in direct dialogue with 18th-century portraiture, examining decay and fragility across centuries.
On view at Valdemars Slot through 19 September.
