Book Signing: Frederik Næblerød & Casper Aguila

It’s our pleasure to host the book signing event of the new publication ‘New Neighbours’ by Frederik Næblerød & Casper Aguila.

Frederik Næblerød & Casper Aguila allow themselves to do art in unlikely locations such as a sea-and-weather ravaged beach house, an ancient landmark, and an out-of-the-way former pig farm. With text by art historian Line Rosenvinge and extensive visual material, the book New Neighbours introduces seven original projects that Frederik Næblerød & Casper Aguila created in the countryside around Copenhagen between 2015 and 2020. Along the way, we learn how the two young artists, who in the beginning worked almost in secret, ended up with art critics’ appreciation and a TV-show of their own. We also learn how they took some knocks as well.

Frederik Næblerød & Casper Aguila make a good team: together they dare do things. Including things they aren’t supposed to. But they do it out of a generosity of spirit, a certain longing, a utopian idea of how painting and architecture can be turned into a kind of party that can happen anywhere, any time, and never outstay its welcome. The book is a document of the artists’ perseverance and resolution.
