Opening of Marie Kølbæk Iversen: New Atlantics

Free entry

On Friday, January 24, Kunsthal Aarhus opens its doors to an atmospheric solo exhibition with Danish artist and researcher Marie Kølbæk Iversen.

New Atlantics invites you into a sensory-saturated exhibition universe featuring large-scale luminescent graphic works, bronze shark sculptures, and video works with underwater footage from the Atlantic Ocean.

With her art, Marie Kølbæk Iversen creates a unique access to intense current topics such as ocean death, biodiversity crisis, and climate issues. She does this through mythological stories and a consistent and compelling tone in her art, allowing the audience to experience the serious through the captivating and sensuous.

New Atlantics unfolds in the large underground Gallery at Kunsthal Aarhus, and at the opening, you will be able to experience a performance, meet the artist, and celebrate an eye-opening encounter between art and the sea.
