Lene Adler has been one of the most prominent figures in Danish contemporary art and women's movement since the late 1960s.
The exhibition Space and Things offers an unprecedented look into Adler Petersen's impressive oeuvre and delves into her groundbreaking career from the late 1960s onwards. Focusing on her experimental work with photography, film and text, the exhibition highlights key works such as Dagbog fra mørkekammeret på Eks-Skolens Trykkeri (1974), Opsatser (1976) and the iconic collaboration with Bjørn Nørgaard, Den kvindelige Kristus (1969), where she walked naked and with a cross in her hand through the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. A feminist action that still stands as one of the most significant in Danish art history.
The exhibition marks Adler Petersen's unique role in Danish art and women's movement and brings together a large selection of works from her long career.
