7 X SPACE X TIME
Works from the Collection
9 November 2017 - 15 April 2018
Louisiana Director Poul Erik Tøjner mixes works across the dimensions of genre, size, expression, space and time in this new presentation of the Louisiana Collection shown in the South Wing. The exhibition anticipates the celebration of the museum’s sixtieth anniversary in 2018.
Calder, Viola, Warhol and Wall. Classics that meet contemporary art. New names and newly acquired pieces placed together with well-known ones. A beloved (and slightly feared) pair of spiders. A sculptural brushstroke by Lichtenstein. An extremely heavy glass sculpture by Roni Horn. A cosmic generator by Mika Rottenberg. Ten-meter stripes by Gerhard Richter and a Giacometti no larger than a thumb...
Louisiana’s Director Poul Erik Tøjner has put everything into play and shuffled the deck thoroughly in the physical display of the collection. The pieces are set together in a series of thematic and spatial sequences according to a desire to make possible connections visible and to point to new sensuous relationships. And also to remind us that the museum is a large field of possibilities for experience and thought in which repetition creates something new.
