Since 1970, Kunsthal Aarhus has hosted the annual Kunstnernes Påskeudstilling (Artists’ Easter Exhibition, KP) every spring. Throughout its long history, the exhibition has consistently presented some of the most topically relevant trends in contemporary art today. KP25 will feature a wide variety of works selected from among hundreds of applicants, showcasing both established artists and emerging talent.
The works for KP25 will be selected by: Honey Biba Beckerlee, Tore Hallas, Linda Lamignan, Marie Munk and Ahmad Siyar Qasimi.
