Solo Show

by Lene Adler

June 2 - June 18, 2022

The exhibition inclued five newly published artists' books and prints by Lene Adler Petersen. The works have been created in collaboration with publisher, printer, and graphic designer Louise Hold Sidenius, who has curated and produced the exhibition.

The five artists' books that unfold in the exhibition are:

Sundrawings, which show photographs of the sun falling in through the windows and moving across the walls of Lene Adler Petersen's home and studio on Bülowsvej. The sun flickers past ongoing art projects and everyday objects and creates detailed patterns across spaces and things. The photographs are accompanied by a poem by Ursula Andkjær Olsen.

At the Desk consists of drawings by Lene Adler Petersen and poems by Marianne Larsen written specifically for the book.

Things, Some Couples, first published in 1980, is now being republished with the book Arrangements for Liberty Leads the People, which has never been published. Both books consist of photographs and a poem written by Lene Adler Petersen. In both books, conventional hierarchies, arrangements and couples are deconstructed, so that differences between genders and gendered division of labour do not appear self-evident and natural.

Liberty Leads the People. The Things, Your History, Free Yourself from the Things consists of photographs of the reconstruction of the tableau of the same name, which was shown in 2021 for SMK's exhibition called After the silence. The book shows a registration of the 630 objects included in the work.

Lene Adler Petersen (b. 1944) is educated from the Jutland Academy of Fine Arts 1964-66 and the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen 1968-69. Adler Petersen has received a number of scholarships and honors, including the Danish Arts Foundation's three-year work grant, 1980-83.
