Danish on a Sunday: Melody of Murder at Cinemateket

With this series, Cinemateket opens up the world of Danish cinema to a non-Danish speaking audience by screening movies in the original language with English subtitles. Directed by Bodil Ipsen during the German Occupation of Denmark, Melody of Murder (Mordets Melodi) follows the investigation of a shocking series of murders in Copenhagen. Each homicide is preceded by someone singing a French cabaret song, popularized by Sonja, a local chanteuse who shares the same name as the murder victims — and who soon becomes a suspect. Ipsen delves into mind control (via hypnotism) and portrays Copenhagen as a city under siege, perhaps commenting obliquely on the Occupation itself. The film is screened at 2:15 pm and the arrangement includes a short introduction by University of Copenhagen’s Niels Henrik Hartvigson.

Coco & Clair Clair at Lille Vega

Why not wrap up your weekend with a Sunday evening concert? American duo Coco & Clair previously joked that if their debut album “Sexy” was a little boy, their album “Girl” from August 2024 was a little girl. Here they navigate the stereotypes about men and women with honest lyrics and a mix of hiphop, lo-fi pop, and electronic music. Doors open 7 pm and the concert starts at 8 pm.

Jytte Høy: Words Found More Added at Møstings

There is a distinct literary thread in Danish artist Jytte Høy’s practice, especially in her work on the project “Words Found More Added,” which she initiated in 2011.
Here, selected text passages – ranging from Sappho’s fragments to contemporary literary works – form the basis for the creation of the works. Once she’s chosen the sentences, she responds with new sentences, and finally, spatial works to accompany the texts; words are transformed into objects. The exhibition is on display until 30th March and admission is free.

Marta Minujín: Intensify Life at Copenhagen Contemporary

Argentinian artist Marta Minujín is one of the most prominent Latin American conceptual artists. Born in Buenos Aires in 1943, she’s been creating performances, installations, video works, and more for over 60 years. This winter, Copenhagen Contemporary is exhibiting her first retrospective in Europe. The exhibition unfolds Minujín’s life’s work across periods and geography, showcasing several of her most recent pieces, including gigantic installations, soft sculptures, and large collage paintings covered in Minujín’s iconic neon stripes and illuminated with video projections, as well as archival material. It will be on display until April 2025.

Julian Charrière: Solarstalgia at Arken

A large mirror of anthracite coal, an ancient forest, and a rave deep inside a palm oil plantation: with an activist and scientific approach, French-Swiss artist Julian Charrière explores humanity’s relationship with nature and its role in climate change, inviting critical reflection on our use of natural resources and its impact. “Solarstalgia” is Charrière’s first solo exhibition in Scandinavia. It will be on display until April 2025.

Ocean at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

We know more about the surface of Mars than we do about the oceans that cover more than 70% of our own planet. Embark on a journey of discovery above and below the surface when this new thematic exhibition explores the oceans with three themes: 1) The ocean between art and science, 2) The sublime and mythological ocean, and 3) The anthropocene ocean. The exhibition will be on display until April 2025.

Guided tour: Highlights & Introduction at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

Every Thursday from 2-2:45 pm, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art offers a guided tour of the museum’s collection and architecture.

Hans-Peter Feldmann: 100 Jahre at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

With the photographic exhibition “100 Jahre” (100 Years), the German artist Hans-Peter Feldmann tells the story of a whole century, reflected in the faces of different individuals. The series comprises 101 black-white photographs portraying members of the artist’s family and social circle, ranging in age from 0 to 100 – from eight-week-old Felina to centenarian Maria Victoria. The exhibition will be on display until June 2025.

Alexej Jawlensky at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

Though closely associated with the European avant-garde movements at the beginning of the 20th century, the Russian painter Alexej Jawlensky (1864-1941) seems to have found his very own artistic voice rather late in life. This exhibition focuses on Jawlensky’s path towards a highly distinctive expression in the form of his small, beautiful and mysterious meditations. Having been born into a regimental family in Russia in 1864, he abandoned a potential military carreer in favor of the arts. At the art academy in St. Petersburg he met the painter Marianne von Werefkin and together, the couple moved to Munich. There, Jawlensky attended a private painting school with, among others, Wassily Kandinsky and became closely connected to the famous artist movement “Der Blaue Reiter” which Kandinsky initiated. The exhibition will be on display until June 2025.

Breaking Darkness at Nikolaj Kunsthal

Drawing inspiration from Lars von Trier’s oeuvre, Nikolaj Kunsthal is transformed into a sensory experience, blurring the boundaries between visual art and film. Through five site-specific installations spread across all galleries, including the iconic Nikolaj Tower, his works are put in dialogue with the historic church spaces, allowing for a physical and tactile encounter with the filmmaker’s aesthetics and imagery. The exhibition will be on display until July 2025.

Jakob Kudsk Steensen: Psychosphere at Cisternerne

With “Psychosphere,” Danish artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen has created an immersive installation specifically for Cisternerne’s unique underground space, taking the emergence of life deep beneath the ocean’s surface as a point of departure. The exhibition is based on the artist’s own fieldwork and makes use of video projections, sound, light, and sculpture to weave a narrative about the profound interconnectedness shared by all living species on Earth. The exhibition will be on display until November 2025.

Little Table, Cover Thyself! at Design Museum Denmark

There’s something special about the art of table-setting and the way a decorated table sets the scene for special and everyday occasions. Experience how table-setting has changed over time and admire the collection of plates, figurines, jugs, and more. All the way through to 2025, seven of the museum’s historical tables are decorated with items from the renaissance until today.
