Torben Weirup on Stalke Kunsthandel/Gallery – new premises, 1994


(Berlingske Tidende, February 18, 1994)


In his article on the opening of Stalke Kunsthandel/Gallery’s new premises, Torben Weirup describes a clear shift in Sam Jedig’s practice. The gallery moves away from a conventional commercial role and positions itself between art dealing, project-based work, and artistic experimentation.


Weirup emphasizes the tension between art and economy as a central concern and notes that market conditions are made visible rather than concealed. He also highlights the gallery’s focus on a new generation of artists working in open, experimental ways beyond fixed formal frameworks.


The article presents Stalke as a gallery in motion, where the new premises signal both a physical and conceptual repositioning that anticipates Stalke Out of Space and the gallery’s development throughout the 1990s.
