‘’Never Stop’ hints at an ecstatic climax on a sweat-drenched dance floor. But the pulsing music that fills Overgaden never quite gets going. Burisch’s videos and accompanying production stills linger in the almost intangible spaces of the in-between. They deny the fair-weather partygoer (or the ‘Plug n Player’ as Burisch calls them elsewhere in the show) full access to the night.’ Details from Liesel Burisch’s video ‘Never Stop’ in their show ‘Bring Time’ at Overgaden in Copenhagen this summer - a wonderfully thoughtful and nuanced vision into club culture and the incredibly important spaces of the pre and afterparty. It’s been a delight musing on this show for Frieze - review coming soon! Over at Nils Stærk this summer, Mexican artist Eduardo Terrazas weaves his architectural background with a fascination for the formal relationships of geometries and folk art to create his radiant, mesmeric works, here made from wool. The colourful lines that erupt from the corners of the works spread over the gallery walls and immerse visitors in Terrazas’s wonderful cosmos. Jeannette Ehlers’s show opens at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, featuring the mythic figure of Moko Jumbie from Afro-Caribbean folklore, stalking the streets of Copenhagen from dawn to dusk, and other powerful installations that explore representations of Blackness and Denmark’s own complex histories of slavery and racism. A look back at these wonderful watercolours on cotton paper by Danish artist Anton Funck, recently on view in the lower space of V1 Gallery in Copenhagen. Still studying at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Funck’s vibrant and hallucinatory works already have something of Signac and Hokusai about them. Unfortunately all sold out! 🟨🟦🟪🟩 Some favourite moments from Else Alfelt’s exhibition at ARKEN this spring and summer - the beloved Danish painter whose daring, angular, vibrant works are rooted in the CoBrA rebellion that swept Denmark in the aftermath of World War II and extend to celestial horizons of cosmic mountains, crystals, and moons. 🌙🟩🟦✨ Very intrigued by the paintings of Vilmer Engelbrecht over at Arden Asbæk Gallery, who is still in the midst of his studies at The Academy of Fine Arts in Bergen! Like Symbolist dreams of ancient forests and mythological sirens, Engelbrecht seems descended from John William Waterhouse, Paul Gauguin and Edvard Munch. The final weekend of Serge Attukwei Clottey’s show at Brigade gallery and a chance to see the Ghanaian artist’s arresting tapestries made from the gleaming yellow of Kufuor gallons, or jerrycans, that are used to transport cooking oil in Ghana. Playing on the history of these cans, which were first introduced in Ghana by Europeans, Clottey explores how materials can extend beyond their original purpose and past to find new use and meaning. 🟨🟨🟨
