A comprehensive presentation of selected works from the museum's collection unfolding in four main themes and shown in the Museum's East Wing and Column Hall. With works by more than 60 artists, it covers a wide span of time - almost exactly 100 years - and a striking range of expression.
The selected works from Louisiana’s collection are grouped across time and geography, but with the categories colour, narrative, space and image as focal points. The exhibition’s title, Les rêves n’ont pas de titre – Dreams have no title – , is taken from the work of the French-Algerian artist Zineb Sedira, which is included in the presentation.
“We use the word ‘image’ for almost all art,” says the museum’s director Poul Erik Tøjner, who has put together this selection of works. “Whether it’s a picture of a horse or a picture of the condition of a human being… But all works of art let something be more dominant than another,” he explains:
“The color can take over the narrative, the space in the image becomes significant – the sculpture is also an image, and the image is also a thing. And then there are the images we all take all the time: photos. Which can then again point to completely different places than the familiar world of everyday life. Depending on an artistic approach.”
In the Curved Gallery you can explore a number of photo series that revolve around gender, identity and history. Here you will find works by Roni Horn, Ugo Rondinone, Ulay, Tiffany Chung and Francesca Woodman, among others.
Louisiana’s collection is a dynamic entity that not only continues to grow, but also moves around the house, where it is included in selected presentations throughout the year. This is necessary to make room for the changing exhibitions, for which the house’s permanent works thus become a kind of sounding board. But at the same time, it provides the opportunity to show the individual works in new ways and in changing constellations.
