The National Gallery of Denmark, Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art, Nikolaj Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, and the Alexandra Institute join forces in an international contemporary art exhibition that puts a new perspective on the climate debate.
On 31 October the international art exhibition “RETHINK – Contemporary Art & Climate Change” opens in Copenhagen, Denmark, with great ambitions in both size and scope. While politicians will gather at the UN Climate Change Conference, 26 trendsetting Nordic and international artists display their work at some of Denmark’s finest art institutions, creating new ways for the public and politicians to grasp the complicated climate issues.
RETHINK is an exhibition with works created by Nordic and International contemporary artist who in different ways relate to the intersection between art, culture and climate change. The exhibition will present works by artists Tomas Saraceno (AR), Henrik Håkansson (SE), The Icelandic Love Corporation (IS), Superflex (DK), Bright Ugochukwu Eke (NG), Olafur Eliasson (IS/DK), and many others.
RETHINK is nominated the “Nordic Exhibition of the Year 2009-2010″ by the Nordic Culture Fund and will tour several cities in the Nordic countries in 2010. In addition, the exhibition is part of the official culture programme for the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP15 that will take place in Copenhagen from December 7th to 18th.
