STALKE OUT OF SPACE PROJECT NO: 7

A new generation of artists makes their mark on Danish corporate art associations.

A total of twelve major Danish corporate art associations (Kreditforeningen Danmark, Den Alm. Danske Lægeforening, ITT, Sparekassernes Datacenter, PBS, Nea Lindberg, Codan, Danmarks Nationalbank, Politiken, Ballerup Rådhus, and J. Lauritzen and Hedeboegnens Kunstkreds) have collaborated to present a traveling exhibition with the artist collective BAGHUSET.

The traveling exhibition takes place during 1992–93, where approximately 10,000 people will have the opportunity to engage with the exhibited works. The project is specifically designed as an exhibition for corporate art associations, and one of its main objectives is to ensure that a broad audience gets the chance to encounter the art. Since the general public does not often visit galleries, the galleries and their exhibitions must relocate to where the audience is. This enables broader marketing efforts that galleries, limited by the constraints of art institutions, often fail to achieve.

The artists from BAGHUSET (Jes Brinch, Peter Holst Henckel, Joachim Koester, Peter Neuchs, Lars Bent Petersen, Christian Schmidt Rasmussen, Peter Røssel), all in their mid-20s, represent a new generation of artists who, since the mid-1980s, have been working within a tradition centered on concepts such as pop, concept art, and appropriation. This tradition questions the role of institutions, the placement of art in modern production, and the artwork’s capacity to create meaning.

In recent years, BAGHUSET has made a mark both individually and as a group, nationally and internationally.

The exhibition opens to the public on Tuesday, January 7, at 7:30 PM at Hedeboegnens Kunstkreds, Poppel Alle 12, 2630 Taastrup.

The community center is also open daily.
