Participating artists include Monica Bonvicini, Jimmie Durham, Olafur Eliasson, Daniil Galkin, Sara Jordenö, Bouchra Khalili and Fischli/Weiss amongst others.

Jesper Just: Servitudes
June 15–August 11, 2019
Opening: June 14

This summer Kunsthal Charlottenborg presents a mesmerizing solo show of the Danish artist Jesper Just. Using the architecture as a medium, Just transforms the galleries into a journey conceived around the reverberation of images, music and spatial elements that embody the presence of something absent. 

Servitudes is Jesper Just’s most comprehensive video installation yet. The work is shot at One World Trade Center,  premiered in 2015 at Palais de Tokyo in Paris and is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection in New York thanks to the aid of the Ny Carlsberg Foundation. The exhibition is made in collaboration with MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture & Technology in Lisbon, and curated by Irene Campolmi. Further info here.
