Francis Alÿs’s ‘Children’s Games’ series, over twenty years in the making, fills the halls of Copenhagen Contemporary with the sound of laughter, not only from the kids in the videos that capture games from different places around around the world, but the real life visitors to the gallery watching with glee.

That winter sun over @arkenmuseum ✨☀️

‘I’m painting nurses. I like their hats. Their aprons. Their shoes. My mother was a nurse. My sister was a nurse. My grandmother and two cousins were nurses. I collect ‘nurse’ books. Paperbacks. You can’t miss them. They’re all over the airport. I like the words ‘nurse’, ‘nurses’, ‘nursing’. I’m recovering.’ ♦️🔴

Sadly ‘AMOUNT’ has just closed at @ssiimmiiaann in Copenhagen’s Ørestad district, but I had the pleasure of reviewing this group show for @e_flux which brought together works by Toke Flyvholm, Yuri Pattison, Naïmé Perrette, and Lucie Stahl on that vast subject of climate change and the ‘amount’ we are willing to see or to ignore.

To celebrate their twenty-fifth anniversary, the @fondationbeyeler staged a marvellous rehang of their permanent collection, placing Duane Hanson’s startlingly realistic sculptures of ordinary Americans in dialogue with great masterpieces by Mark Rothko, Alberto Giacometti, Andy Warhol and Paul Cezanne - to name a few. Thank you to @gagosian for the opportunity to muse on the fascinating juxtapositions that were sparked. The article can be found at the Gagosian Quarterly website ✨

There was no better way to brighten a rainy January afternoon today than with HuskMitNavn’s solo show at Eighteen Gallery in Copenhagen’s meatpacking district - with those familiar cartoonish figures in brilliant colour, teasing, prevaricating and looking with curiosity at the world around them. But what really caught my eye were the incredible works on paper, where vampires literally bit holes, cars ran over, axes hacked and paint cans dripped over the paper to marvellously transform the formal qualities of a drawing by its subject.

An exhibition in a nightclub they said…absolutely I said✨
