Asger Jorn and his comparative method

Join us in the Kunsthal’s cinema as Asger Jorn specialist Teresa Østergaard introduces to the comparative method of Asger Jorn and his artistic oeuvre.

Asger Jorn’s profound artistic legacy and his perspective on images as both adaptable and resistant over time has inspired the curation of Full of Days, which is applauded in the exhibition through selections from his and his companion Gérard Franceschis’ project 10,000 Years of Nordic Folk Art which holds a defiance against established artistic norms and traditional approaches to art history.

This event is in Danish.

Teresa Østergaard Pedersen is collection and research inspector at Holstebro Art Museum (2018-).

About Full of Days
This year, 140 years have gone by since Kunsthal Charlottenborg – or Charlottenborg Exhibition Building as its was called in 1883 – was completed. Ever since its inception, the venue has hosted exhibitions featuring many of the leading contemporary artists of the given times, accommodating many different types of shows and activities.

Charlottenborg now celebrates its long history with a large-scale exhibition featuring all-new and older works alike. Together, they will evoke and add nuance to the history of Kunsthal Charlottenborg, a venue without a collection or a historical archive. Embracing chaos, affinities and time glitches, the exhibition Full of Days forges intuitive connections between historical moments and less-remembered shows, stories and events. Through a cacophony of voices, contemporary and historical artists are framed into a reflection on the elusiveness of time and the multiplicity of its representations, offering a non-linear account of one the Kunsthal’s possible histories.
