The gallery is very pleased to announce that Øse Church Cemetery has recently added several artworks by Fredrik Tydén to the outside space. His work consists of several different elements. On the wide path that runs from the cemetery up towards the church, Tydén has created a small urban square that invites you to meet or gather in front of the church. The square is designed as a semicircle of old and disused burial sites, designed as a variegated brickwork. In the small square stand two smaller bronze sculptures that reproduce figures that you will also see inside the church.

Nanna Abell Work Acquired by New Carlsberg Foundation
We are pleased to announce that the New Carlsberg Foundation has recently acquired the artwork "Lattice" by gallery artist Nanna Abell. The work was first shown at this year's CHART Art Fair 2024.Nanna Abell’s sculptural practice brings together over-, mis-, or unused objects, building assemblages of ready-made that change our perception of the objects or the spatial logic that surrounds them. Despite a highly outspoken physicality, Abell’s works often establish a framework where materiality doesn't concern only the physical qualities in themselves but also, and foremost, the poetry of human’s messy affairs with the physical outside world.Abell says: “I work with sculpture in an object-saturated landscape. My gaze is invested in found objects at a very close level; their surfaces and forms (already modelled by sun bleaching, overuse, affect, grave queues, booms, etc.). Here I try to awaken micro-perceptions that can escape value struggles and thrive in a more personal domain of desire and idiosyncrasy. The works thereby disrupt, also politically, the established semantic processes and can evoke, I hope, more nuanced possibilities in the viewer's sensual encounters with them”
Fredrik Tydén: Finalist in Competition for the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway.
We are proud to announce that a jury has selected three finalists, including gallery artist Fredrik Tydén, to further develop their design proposals for the new doors of the historic Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway. Tydéns proposal is based on the myth of the Fall. The work consists of wrought iron ornamentation on the outside and decorative carved oak inside the doors."As a kind of background music for the whole work with the doors, it has been important for me to create a work that is both solemn, warm, and friendly, without being naive. The work is carried by simple signs, with very meaningful theological concepts behind them, which are easy to read. I have also emphasised that the doors do not appear as a barrier between the Cathedral and its surroundings but as an experience in itself. With an inviting visual and tactile surface, the hope is that the doors, even if the Cathedral should be closed, are in exchange with its surroundings and guests". The final winner will be announced on January 6th 2025.
CHART 2024: Nanna Abell, Martin Erik Andersen & Richard Deacon
For CHART 2024, Galleri Susanne Ottesen presented works by three substantial sculptors: Danish artists Nanna Abell and Martin Erik Andersen, and British sculptor Richard Deacon. Though formally very different, the three artists share a distinctive approach to sculpture all with an acute attentiveness to the works' spatial context as well as the agency of the specific materials used, whether that being ornamented woven rugs, found objects or clay. Delve deeper into the work of Richard Deacon by visiting his current show Made of This at Galleri Susanne Ottesen, on view until 5 October 2024.
Pernille With Madsen | Public Commission | Enghave Brygge Metro Station
Gallery artist Pernille With Madsen has been commissioned to create various elements that can be seen in several places at the Enghave Brygge Metro Station. There will be light works, abstract reliefs and concrete decorations that the artist has been working on since 2019.
".. I replace existing wall elements with artistically processed elements. They give the illusion that you get a look behind the "facade" that covers the fact that you are actually in a hole in the ground. You could say that the elements I insert mimic a mixture of archaeological finds, geological phenomena and science fiction props (a popular notion of the future). In this way, they are synthetic constructions that resemble cultural deposits and therefore make room for a notion of historical time and space. The elements I put in instead are reliefs cast in concrete. In parts of the reliefs, fiber optic cables have been cast in that act as pixels in an image. There is therefore both a three-dimensional image (relief cast in concrete) and a digital image (transmitted via the optical fiber cables) on the same element. The elements are made in collaboration with the Technological Institute.”
Olav Christopher Jenssen, A Day Behind, Market Art Fair, 17-19 May 2024
Presented by Galleri Susanne Ottesen, Copenhagen and Galleri Riis, Oslo:
Olav Christopher JenssenA Day Behind
Market Art Fair, Stockholm 17-19 May, 2024
Booth 1 & 2
This year marks 40 years of collaboration between Galleri Susanne Ottesen and Galleri Riis. Since 1985, the galleries have shared an interest in art and artists, made several collaborations and maintained a strong friendship.
For the 2024 edition of Market Art Fair, we are proud to celebrate this anniversary with a solo exhibition by longstanding shared gallery artist Olav Christopher Jenssen (b. 1954). For Jenssen, who turned 70 this April, the past year has been challenging, but also remarkably prolific and artistically flourishing. His exhibition A Day Behind at Market Art Fair will present new works across mediums; thirty ceramic sculptures, fifty works on paper and three large paintings.
In the winter of 2023, Olav Christopher Jenssen suffered a stroke which caused permanent damage to his vision. At the time, he was busy preparing his studio to start work on a new series of large paintings, but impeded by his reduced vision, the canvases were put on hold for an indefinite period. In the early stage of convalescence, he intuitively turned to clay and started building and shaping ceramic sculptures, all varying in size and complexity, but easily identified as a family of mysterious personalities and habitats, evoking a hidden fairytale world. Their highly saturated glazes span from shades of brown and black to bright pastels.
Parallel to his work with ceramics, Jenssen gradually picked up his 'Journal' series of mixed media drawings on paper, a body of work that has been ongoing since the 1980s and, when seen together, reads like a diary of his artistic life. The works made over the past year show a multitude of imagery and styles, from monochrome line drawings to richly textured and vibrantly coloured compositions made with various crayons, pastels and acrylic paints.
Last December, Jenssen returned to his large canvases and completed a suite of three paintings, executed with oil on canvas, all in a duo-chromatic style, with fine laces and bursts of white oil paint over a cadmium red ground.
A Day Behind is a materialization of how, for Olav Christopher Jenssen, his artistic practice is persistent – or in his own words: “simply an ongoing thing” – even when life takes unexpected turns.
Andreas Eriksson, Lillehammer Kunstmuseum, 13 April - 25 August
The exhibition "The house is leaning, but the curtains hang straight" is the largest exhibition by the renowned artist Andreas Eriksson in Norway. The overarching theme of the exhibition is the encounter between nature and architecture. At Lillehammer Art Museum, textiles, paintings, and sculptural objects are the dominant expressions. Several of the works are newly created and specially adapted to the museum's architecture. Andreas Eriksson gained early international recognition, notably at Art Basel Statement in 2007, where he won the prestigious Baloise Art Prize, and later at the Nordic Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2011. The themes have largely revolved around experiences of and with nature. In recent years, interest in architectural elements has become more pronounced in his works. In the exhibition at Lillehammer Art Museum, nature and architecture come together.
Pablo Jansana, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, MAC, Chile, 5 April - 23 June
Adormecer a los felices presents the recent work of Chilean artist Pablo Jansana (Santiago, 1976). The exhibition at Museo De Arte Contemporáneo in Santiago Chile is made up of a selection of small, medium and large format works that display, as a whole, a colorful pictorial and conceptual exercise. This series integrates various material and chromatic proposals that provide an overview of his political, emotional and visual thinking in recent history. To create them, Jansana has taken as a basis elements from various fields, such as literature, cinema, critical theory, visual culture and the mass media; and he has focused his attention on investigating traumatic memory, symbols of national identity, everyday aspects of life, some news events, as well as the dreams, desires and failures of the period known as post-dictatorship.

Per Kirkeby, Arken, 12 Oct 2023 - 25 Feb 2024
Per Kirkeby's show 'BRICKS' is on view at ARKEN from 12 October 2023 - 25 February 2024.
The show is dedicated solely to Per Kirkeby's monumental brick sculptures, marking the 50th anniversary of the construction of his first large brick work in a public space in 1973, and features columns, walls, houses, benches, low-lying floor works and even a scenography (created by Per Kirkeby in 1992 for the performance of Iphigenia auf Tauris by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe).
As well as their commanding presence in the main axis, Kirkeby works can be found out in the museum grounds, where they are are in dialogue with the natural surroundings. Besides major known brick works, ARKEN also exhibits a number of Kirkeby's unrealized works!
The 64 unrealised works that the artist conceptualised will be compiled for the first time in the forthcoming publication, 'Per Kirkeby: The Complete Bricks, (Vol. 2), Unrealized Projects'.

'Galleristen', WeekendAvisen
In the run up to our anniversary show, Pernille Albrethsen interviewed Susanne for WeekendAvisen (in print Friday 15 September). The two look back at the origins of Galleri Sussanne Ottesen, reflect on how the art scene has changed during the last 40 years and make some predictions about what might come!
Read the full text via WeekendAvisen (Danish only), or enjoy an excerpt from the article below:
--
"Today, we have a real scene, the best in the Nordics in fact. And it's a real scene because we cover all aspects. There are artist-run places, there are foundations, museums, even new art galleries. And then there are enough galleries like my own that there is also a professional, commercial scene. Going on gallery visits has become something you do. Ottesen calls it "entertainment". 'Although I can worry about what will happen when the wind changes and something new has to come, it's fantastic. People would be amazed if they knew how many young people come to see our exhibitions.
On top of it all, we find ourselves in a time of conflict. The whole concept of art is disintegrating, the concept of identity and the concept of work, and the performative takes up more and more space. So maybe art is also a more interesting place than it has been for a very long time.' So much has art become a business that museums today can hardly afford to buy contemporary art.
'The biggest challenge of today is that you have some artists who take their work deeply seriously, yet perhaps the outside world does not. It's a clash, one that - if we look at it in a positive light - might help to move art forward, in a new direction. Or, it just dies.'"
Marie Søndergaard Lolk, Den Frie Udstillingsbygning, 26 Aug - 22 Oct 2023
We are delighted to share that gallery artist, Marie Søndergaard Lolk is participating at the current exhibition Bad Timing – or How to Write History Without Objects at Den Frie Udstillingsbygning in Copenhagen. The exhibition explores its origins in an historical exhibition from 1920, which presented 200 female artists and some 700 Artworks. Surrounded by today’s context, in which many of the artworks are unknown or lost, Bad Timing tries to make the women’s work tangible despite their material absence.

Nina Nowak work acquired by Horsens Art Museum
The gallery is very pleased to announce that Horsens Art Museum has recently added an artwork by artist Nina Nowak to their collection. The sculpture And Now, Up in the Air! (machine part 2/3) (2021) is now part of the museum's permanent collection. For more information on Nina Nowak's practice, click here.
NOW HERE, THEN THERE: PART 1, spotlight on Troels Wörsel
Susanne and Troels Wörsel began working together in the mid 1980s having met at IE-Graphic, a Copenhagen-based printmaking studio where Susanne was working (up until 1979) and Wörsel making lithographs.
In 1985, they realised Wörsel's first solo exhibition with the gallery, a painting show of his 'Madbilleder' (food pictures) in Store Kongensgade.
When not painting, you were likely to find the artist in the kitchen! Wörsel was a passionate cook and had a particular fondness for classic French cuisine. Much of his inspiration for recipes and artworks alike came from his admiration of the great French chefs - Paul Bocuse, the Troisgros brothers and Alain Ducasse, whose work he knew intimately. Susanne remembers making pasta by hand in their Store Kongensgade apartment, using kitchen furniture to keep the strands aloft.
The second exhibition they realised at the apartment featured paintings from his 'Vinetiketter' (wine labels) series where the artist would overlay and paint the depictions and text from the bottles. The resulting paintings appeared to have no definite 'top' or 'bottom'. A fine example from this series - painted in 1988 - will feature in part 1 of our anniversary exhibition, which opens tomorrow!
Wörsel was also present in Gothersgade from the very beginning, featuring both in the major group show 'Skulls' which opened in 1989 and with a solo show of new paintings in November of the same year.
Captured here, some lost footage of Susanne walking through the group show - you can see three of Wörsel's infamous skull and crossbones paintings on the top left, and a very large diptych by the artist in the middle and right.
NOW HERE, THEN THERE: PART 1, spotlight on A. R. Penck
In 1989, the gallery relocated to Gothersgade 49 where we have remained ever since. It was in September of that year that we opened our first exhibition in the space, a solo show with A. R. Penck comprised of large-scale paintings, paper works and bronze sculptures.
The exhibition received a lot of attention from the Danish press with Susanne, a brand new (female!) gallerist presenting a major exhibition with the internationally renowned, charismatic artist. Politiken gave a glowing review of both the show and the new gallery, though the headline might raise a few eyebrows today! "Galleri debut with a worldwide name: Danish girl exhibits A. R. Penck in competition with the big international galleries!"
Now, many years later while celebrating the history of the gallery, we will be showing a number of the works that featured in that 1989 exhibition.
Captured here, A. R. Penck's magnificent paintings through the gallery windows - September 1989 frozen in time. If you look closely, you can get a glimpse of the bronze sculpture we are showing in ‘NOW HERE, THEN THERE: PART 1’.
A. R. Penck (1939-2017) was born and lived in East Germany, but immigrated to West Germany in 1980. Susanne and Penck were introduced by Per Kirkeby in the early 80s, the two artists were close friends. Penck visited Copenhagen in 1984, collaborating with Susanne for the first time. The artist made some amazing prints together with Susanne and Niels Broch Jensen – one of them a portrait of Kirkeby! Two of the prints they made in 1984 is on view in the exhibition!!
NOW HERE, THEN THERE: PART 1, spotlight on Kirsten Ortwed
Susanne began working with Kirsten Ortwed in the early "80s, exhibiting wax and polyurethane sculptures by the artist in the gallery's Store Kongensgade premises through the years. The artist, ever experimental with her choice of materials, has always sought to find new ways to approach sculpture.
When the gallery relocated to Gothersgade in 1989, Ortwed was one of the first artists to present a show in the space; a duo exhibtion of new works with Rosemarie Trockel which opened on 14 September 1990.
A solo show by Kirsten Ortwed was among the first at the newly opened DCA Gallery in New York in 1995 (a venture spearheaded by Susanne with 5 of her Copenhagen colleagues. They would run the space for over 10 years). Susanne recalls installing the exhibition alongside the artist late into the evening, causing stress for the gallery's Director, Miles, who was anxious that they wouldn't be ready to open as planned the following day. His fears came true when he returned in the morning to find no works installed in the space, instead - two empty glasses and one empty bottle of whiskey! The two share a love of hard liquor.
Susanne also presented Ortwed at international art fairs including, on a number of occasions, Art Cologne - then the European epicentre of Contemporary Art - where the artist lived for many years.
Pictured here, Kirsten Ortwed in our 1990 Art Cologne booth where she featured alongside Per Kirkeby, Bjørn Nørgaard, A. R. Penck and Troels Wörsel!
Two of Ortwed's wax works from 1990 and a polyurethane wall-sculpture from 1983 is featured in Part 1 of our anniversary exhibition, 'NOW HERE, THEN THERE'.
NOW HERE, THEN THERE: PART 1, spotlight on Bjørn Nørgaard
Susanne and Bjørn Nørgaard began their collaboration in 1980, working initially with prints which were published together with Niels Borch Jensen.
It was in 1983 that Susanne realised the first exhibition at Store Kongensgade, presenting a solo show of sculptures by Bjørn Nørgaard.
The exhibition also featured the artist's 6-part print ‘Slagtet på Rheden’, an iconic work that later contributed to Nørgaard being invited to create the 17 tapestries for Queen Margrethe II's 50th birthday. The project began in 1990, with the artist creating full scale plans of the monumental tapestries to send to the two Parisian ateliers tasked with bringing his designs to life, but it was 10 years before they were complete! In 2000 (for the Queen's 60th!), the work was installed at the palace with a fitting inauguration dinner attended by the Royal Family and with a speech by Nørgaard. You can still experience these special tapestries today, which remain on view at Christiansborg Palace.
The artist also presented ceramic models for the work ‘Menneskemuren’ in his first exhibition with the gallery in 1983. 'Menneskemuren' was to feature in a major Nordic exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum and was made as a tribute to the diversity of New York as Nørgaard experienced it at the time. The work was later acquired by The National Gallery of Denmark where it was on view for 10 years. It has since been on loan to Horsens Art Museum where it is placed prominently in front of the museum.
Coming to the present day - 40 years later - NOW HERE, THEN THERE: PART 1 will re-create Nørgaard's very first exhibition, bringing it from Store Kongensgade to Gothersgade. Both ‘Slaget på Rheden’ and the drafts for ‘Menneskemuren’ will be presented together once more.
For the occasion of 40 years, Bjørn Nørgaard performed one of his infamous 'actions' on the opening day of the exhibition, titled ‘MONSVENERIS: AKTION’.
Pictured here, Susanne and Bjørn Nørgaard at his Copenhagen studio in 1987.
NOW HERE, THEN THERE: PART 1, spotlight on Per Kirkeby
Susanne and Per Kirkeby began collaborating as early as 1979, publishing prints by the artist together with Niels Borch Jensen.
It was in 1985 that Susanne realised Per Kirkeby's first solo exhibition with the gallery, hiring the entirety of Den Frie Udstillingsbygning for the occasion! This major show exhibited 38 of Kirkeby's bronzes, made between 1981- 84. A selection of prints were also on view. (It wasn't until 2020, at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, that a comprehensive presentation of his bronzes was again realised.)
Susanne recalls missing one of the greatest games of football while installing the show - Denmark vs the Soviet Union. The game, which ended in a triumphant 4-2 victory, took place on constitution day, 5 June 1985, and cheers of exuberant Danish fans at the Idrætspark stadium could be heard from all those hard at work at Den Frie!
Fortunately, Per Kirkeby's magnificent show was well worth missing the game for!
Pictured here, Susanne in Per Kirkeby's exhibition at Den Frie:

Per Kirkeby, Museo Tamayo, 13 Jul - 15 Oct 2023
The gallery was delighted to participate in the opening of Per Kirkeby. Evocation of Posterity, at Museo Tamayo in Mexico City. The solo exhibition of brick sculptures, architectural drawings, and paintings brings together the works across mediums, and testifies to the diversity of Kirkeby's oeuvre while showing that his work was not concerned with a particular mode of expression but rather with human feeling, sedimentation and stratification, and with the dialogue between nature and abstraction, form and structure, landscape and architecture. The exhibition is curated by Andrés Valtierra and is on view until the 15 October 2023. Captured at the opening, the sculpture Frankfurt am Main (1994), which is on view among 7 other brick sculptures. To learn more about the exhibition, click here.
Andreas Eriksson, Thielska Galleriet, 6 May - 1 Oct 2023
We congratulate gallery artist Andreas Eriksson, who is currently exhibiting at Thielska Galleriet in Stockholm, in the exhibition Touching. Andreas Eriksson and Edvard Munch. Eriksson's prints - a perhaps lesser known category of works in his oeuvre - are thus brought into a new, lively dialogue with the Norwegian artist's graphic works, whereby new meanings and qualities can be examined in their distinctive practices.

Pernille With Madsen, Ringsted Sportcenter, Denmark, permanent installation
We congratulate Pernille With Madsen on the inauguration of her permanent installations ‘Overgang’ at Ringsted Sportcenter, Denmark, which took place 16 April 2023.
About the works, she describes how the installations can be seen as ‘a movement from one state to another'.
Pernille With Madsen, explains that 'my wish is, that the works should intervene and be experienced as part of the space and the architecture. I believe that in this way you get to see the whole room in a new way - and you have space to fall in awe of your surroundings. That's very much what it's about for me when I get the chance to intervene in a building and make a decoration in a public space like this. '
The permanent installations at Ringsted Sportcenter include four different fields which consist of six boards each. The four different fields represent different motifs and consist of a total of seven different types of wood.

'The Substance of the World', a conversation between Nanna Abell and Milena Høgsberg, CHART Journal
As part of CHART Journal, Nanna Abell has been in conversation with Milena Høgsberg, curator, writer and Director at Wanås Konst, who together consider the intimate and fragile properties that underline the artist’s practice. They explore the erotic clashing of material sensibilities; the intimate entanglement between the digital and the offline; and environmental contamination as played out in bathing a child’s body. "Yet while I was installing this show [at Vestjyllands Kunstpavillon], my daughter was in a state of euphoria embalming herself in sea foam at the coast just 30 minutes away. [S]ome time later, I learned that sea foam has the strongest concentration of fluorine substances (flourstoffer) and that one should avoid contact. Apparently the fluorine substances are very fond of foam and bubbles - and so is a little human body - this light fluffy tickling. So it's not only the visible contamination, there is also an invisible accumulation that makes touching the world so much more difficult suddenly. I sometimes think that our mental shores are equally endangered with heaps and fragments of waste of information with daily debris of images and language pouring in. I think part of my work is trying to make tiny clear bays around objects - just to “pollute” them again, with a different agenda. An agenda that doesn’t have to add up." 📖 Read the conversation in full via the CHART Journal. Photo: Jacob Friis-Holm Nielsen
Nina Nowak, Korean Cultural Centre UK, 23 Nov 2022 - 4 Feb 2023

Per Kirkeby, Kunsthal kAdE, Netherlands, 10 Sep 2022 - 8 Jan 2023
Per Kirkeby's exceptional works 'London', 1986 and 'Paris', 2017, currently feature in the group show BAKSTEEN | BRICK at Kunsthal kAdE, Amersfoort, Netherlands. Curated by Judith van Meeuwen, the show pays tribute to this ancient building material with works by more than 50 artists, architects and designers: "The appeal of brick walls is anchored in thousands of variations in size, shape, colour, texture and repetition. But it is also the intrinsic layering that makes the material unique." The beauty of the material is emphatically expressed in the monumental buildings by Danish artist Per Kirkeby in the main hall. The exhibition will be on view until 8 January 2023. For more information about the exhibition visit Kunsthal kAdE's website. Photo: Peter Cox.

Nanna Abell, Vestjyllands Kunstpavillon, 27 Aug - 25 Sep 2022
Just opened! Nanna Abell just opened her solo exhibition Phychodile at Vestjyllands Kunstpavillion.
In Abell's solo exhibition Psychodile lies an invitation to become material. The found objects - although selected and arranged by the artist – have always already been modelled by external conditions, and their surfaces carry physical ornaments of climate, consumption, exhaustion, fire, moist, desire, décor.
Rather than exhibiting single works, Abell establishes a framework where materiality doesn't concern only the physical qualities in themselves, but also and foremost the poetry of human, messy affairs with the physical outside world. For more information about the exhibition, click here.
