Since 2000 Kopenhagen has communicated the contemporary art within Denmark, a weekly newsletter, a printed exhibition guide, and the annual yearbook “New Danish Art”. Kopenhagen is first and foremost possible due to the labour of volunteers and it is run by the non-profit organisation Kopenhagen Publishing. It is not funded by any public means.
In 2005 Kopenhagen received the Danish Art Critics’ Award,
“kopenhagen is a very central point of orientation in the scene of art. kopenhagen.dk has become an irreplaceable resource both serving the artists as well as the reviewers – these are the reasons why they are given the Award.”

‘BERLINER STRASSE’ – CONTEMPORARY URBAN ART & STREET CULTURE


Within performance, painting, video, sculpture and installation, the group exhibition ‘Berliner Strasse’ conveys the above-average and headstrong artistic talent that is waiting to be discovered in the young Berlin urban art scene. The .BHC Kollektiv, formerly a cultural center, offers the ideal space for this kind of exhibition, with its typical ‘Honecker-Chic’ 70s style, the lived-out urbanity it has seen and approximately 1800 square meters of space both inside and out. A selection of the best and brightest artists of today’s urban art and street art scene in Berlin will be coming together for the first time here, directly on Berlin’s Alexanderplatz. To a large part untouched by the academic corset of the art academies, inspired by the street life of their city, the ‘Berliner Strasse’ artists will be displaying novel means of expression, media and techniques that speak a very individual language, especially when compared to today’ s global scene. ‘Berliner Strasse’ has recently received written invitations for exhibitions in New York, London and Warsaw. Come check it out before the artistic nomads move on! We would be more than happy to see you!

Christina Malbek


Christina Malbek

Shame, Abandon, Melancholy, Swallow, you

Charlotte Fogh present Christina Malbek´s first solo exhibition in Denmark. Malbek graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2003. Since then, she has exhibited in venues such as Kim Light/ LightBox in Los Angeles, Transit Art Space in Stavanger, Norway, Göteborgs Konsthall in Sweden, and the Mexican national museum Museo de San Carlos. She is represented in several major international collections, including Arken -Museum of Modern Art in Denmark.

Christina Malbek is one of the most innovative and talented contemporary landscape painters. To this deeply traditional subject matter she brings the airbrush techniques of graffiti and the tools of digital media, giving it an intensity and relevance rarely seen today. Her fragmented vision and use of a vivid palette create surprising compositions that are rich in contrast, coloring the apparently romantic landscape with complexity, unease, and mystery.

For the exhibition at Charlotte Fogh Contemporary, Malbek has created five immense paintings entitled Shame, Abandon, Melancholy, Swallow, and You. In doing so, she has blown up and transformed everyday details until they approach abstraction, and similarly magnified watercolor elements with their flowing, organic forms. By investing vast dark surfaces and glimpses of figurative elements with an expansive aspect, these modern landscapes generate a dialog between the viewer and the space in which they hang.
