From Galleri Jedig to Mezzaninen
at Stalke Galleri
Vesterbrogade 15A
Opening day 7.10.
In the autumn of 1988, Stalke Galleri and the former Galleri Jedig consolidated their activities under one roof at Vesterbrogade 15A. In connection with the relocation, Galleri Jedig was continued under the name Mezzaninen, functioning as an independent exhibition space associated with Stalke Galleri.
The exhibition marked the opening of Mezzaninen and presented both artists previously affiliated with Galleri Jedig and new, younger names. With approximately 300 square meters of exhibition space, Mezzaninen expanded the framework for presenting Danish and international contemporary art and became an integrated part of Stalke Gallery’s overall program, including the gallery’s work with prints and publications under STALKE Edition.
Sam Jedig, co-director of Stalke Galleri, is photographed in the gallery space, in the early years of its operations. The image reflects his involvement in shaping the gallery's identity and his close work with artists, including collaborations on exhibitions like Mezzaninen and other important shows in the 1980s.
