Elina Brotherus Interview: Only in Art Can Adults Play
“I’m always curious to see what things look like – through the eye the craziest things can happen.” In this video, Elina Brotherus – who ranks among Finland’s leading artists – shares her thoughts behind a new series of playful video works, where she re-enacts famous instructions from prominent Fluxus artists.
“I have a 20-year tradition of using myself as a model in my works.” Brotherus feels that her aesthetic has remained the same throughout her career, but that the autobiographical element is no longer present: “I’m just using myself as a performer on a stage.” This came about when she found herself stuck in the photographic work and began using the so-called event scores of the Fluxus movement (developed in the 1960s). These event scores give instructions, which encourage other artists to perform the piece in their own way, hence making it their own. Brotherus likes the idea of getting assignments and “a helping hand” from her predecessors of art history – “teachers from this self-invented art school.” She feels she appropriates the pieces into her own creative material: “They’re like a trigger for me to do what I know how to do best – which is to be both in front and behind the camera.” Moreover, Brotherus is attracted to the weirdness of what she is doing: “You can do the strangest things with a completely deadpan aesthetic – there’s no laughing in front of the camera although you would like to – and then it’s up to the spectator to accept it.” The Finnish artist compares this to the seriousness with which children approach playing: “Art is the only occupation where adults can continue playing.” In connection to this, she explains why one of her mottos is ‘Why not?’: “Why are you doing these silly things? Because I can. Why not? Let’s see what it looks like when I throw the lemons in the forest…”
Elina Brotherus (b. 1972) is a Finnish artist who works with photography and video. Her works alternate between autobiographical and art-historical approaches – always with Brotherus herself as the model. Brotherus is the recipient of prestigious awards including the Carte blanche PMU (2017), the Finnish State Prize for Photography (2008) and the Prix Niépce (2005). Her work has been given prominence in numerous art and photography books and magazines and is held in public collections including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Saatchi Collection in London, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk and MAXXI in Rome.

Per Bak Jensen Interview: The Presence of the Absent
We met Danish photographer Per Bak Jensen for a talk about desirable ‘hidden things’, and how photographing the world helps him understand it – and himself: “I can’t describe it in words. So instead I’ve chosen to photograph it.”
“Sometimes I feel that there’s more than I can see. There’s something hidden in my surroundings when I’m looking around.” The ‘hidden things’ Jensen talks about arouses a longing within him that he feels might be an expression of reminiscence: “The landscape gives people back something that they’ve forgotten.” To Jensen, the landscape contains a primordial part of human beings, and finding the latter hard to deal with, it is the landscape that plays a central role in his stunning pictures, which have an almost metaphysical dimension. We are introduced to the solitude of the empty field, the vast ocean, the uninhabited landscape – no people: “I find people problematic. They’re much harder to be around and to deal with.”
Attentiveness to light and to the different speed in the world are elements that are present in Jensen’s oeuvre: “I have to find a speed that fits the rock. The rock would never be able to adjust to my speed – because I dash about.” He thus attempts to capture not only a certain speed but also a form of understanding of himself though the meeting with the empty landscape. This, essentially, is what Jensen feels that art has the ability to do – to make us understand and define our role in the world through our gaze at it.
Per Bak Jensen (b. 1949) is one of Denmark’s leading photographers and a pioneer of modern landscape photography, known for his desolate images of nature or industrial sites. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (1980-1986) and was the first graduate to use photography as his only art form. Selected exhibitions include ‘Projekt Højbanen’ at Nørrebro Station, Copenhagen (1990), ‘Amagerbilleder’ at Traneudstilling Gentofte Kunstbibliotek, Gentofte (1991), ‘Stedernes Væsen’ at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk (1993), ‘New Zealand’ at Sarjeant Gallery, New Zealand (1998), ‘Per Bak Jensen’ at Galleri Niklas von Bartha, London (2001) and ‘Per Bak Jensen: Skjult’ at Sorø Kunstmuseum, Sorø (2015). His photographs are on display at museums such as Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris.
Per Bak Jensen was interviewed by Marc-Christoph Wagner in connection to his exhibition ‘Per Bak Jensen: Skjult’ at Sorø Kunstmuseum, Denmark in February 2015.

Elina Brotherus Interview: Demystifying The Image
Find out how one of Finland’s most prominent artists, Elina Brotherus, tries to break down the barrier between the spectator and the photographic work, and how she claims the position of power that female artists are entitled to: “Women artists need positive role models, we need other women artists that we can look up to and compare ourselves to.”
“I like demystifying and deconstructing the image. That’s why I like to show the process of making it.” Brotherus wants to make the way she works visible “so that the spectator sees, okay, she is the model, but she is also the author. She is, sort of, above the situation. She decides. She’s in charge.” This part, she continues, is also essential because she considers herself a feminist “like every woman should be.” Female artists, Brotherus adds, are underrepresented in the art world, which is problematic: “Women are 60 per cent of art school students, but where do they disappear?” In continuation of this, Brotherus doesn’t consider the female figure in her work to be herself, but rather a representation of a topic that can be difficult to discuss. An example of this is her series of work – ‘Annonciation’ (2009-2013) – which addresses her involuntary childlessness. The work came about when she realised the importance of turning her struggle into images, supporting those in the same situation. Now, many years later, Brotherus has recognised all the possibilities she has, because her family consists of “two adults and a dog”: “Somehow I feel that the older I get, the more playful I get. So in a way, it’s no regrets.”

Danish and International Art after 1900
Come along as Peter Kær, Museum docentat at The National Gallery of Denmark, visits the collection Danish and International Art after 1900. Get a taste of which artworks to experience here and hear which ones are the personal favourites of Peter Kær.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
Modern art from the 20th century and the very latest contemporary art now fills the exhibition rooms of the Gallery's white building, offering a wide-ranging display of the main movements within Danish art. The exhibition includes rooms focusing on major individual figures, on collective movements, and on important works and trends from the international art scene of the period.
The long walkway extending through the building acts like a kind of timeline. As you move through the large exhibition rooms facing the Østre Anlæg park you also move chronologically through a sequence of art from the early 20th century to the present day.
The large exhibition rooms on one side of the walkway offers visitors the chance to orient themselves and get an overview of art from the early 20th century to the present day. Each room presents a specific period.
The smaller rooms on the other side of the corridor also follow the overall chronological order, but their focus is aimed elsewhere: they offer visitors the opportunity to focus on tendencies, groupings, artists or particular issues.
Трейлер к выставке Красса Клемента «Незримое пространство»
РОСФОТО в сотрудничестве с Датским институтом культуры и Художественным музеем в Сорё (Дания) представляют ретроспективную выставку Красса Клемента «Незримое пространство».
Красс Клемент изучал режиссуру в Датской школе кинематографии, но предпочел фотографию производству фильмов, в 1978 году опубликовав свою первую книгу «Тени момента».
Работы автора отражают характерную скандинавскую меланхолию и традицию фланирования, гуляния по улицам с целью наблюдения городской жизни. В центре внимания Клемента — человек и его место в городском пейзаже. Фиксируя моменты, раскрывающие человеческие отношения и характеры, Красс одновременно рисует и портрет города.

Exhibition by Krass Clement The Unseen Room”
The State Museum and Exhibition Centre ROSPHOTO in cooperation with the Danish Institute of Culture and the Art Museum in Sorø (Denmark) presents a retrospective exhibition of works by Krass Clement “The Unseen Room.”
Krass Clement is a Danish photographer specializing in black and white documentary photography. Having graduated from the National Film School of Denmark as a film director, he chose photography over cinema. His first book, Shadows of the Moment, came out in 1978.
Clement’s works reflect typical Scandinavian melancholy and the tradition of flaneur’s strolling, wandering along the streets to observe urban life. His focus is on man and his place within urban landscape. The photographer captures moments revealing human relations and characters, at the same time painting a portrait of the city.
