Program for 2023 at SMK
In 2023, we look forward to presenting a range of new exhibitions featuring Danish and international artists alike – and we would like to give you some early insight into what's in store.
11 February – 29 May 2023Carl Bloch – Seduced
In the spring of 2023, #SMK will show the largest exhibition in a hundred years to feature the Danish artist Carl Bloch (1834–1890). The exhibition revisits the story of one of Denmark's most celebrated and spectacular artists, who suffered an abrupt fall from superstar to whipping boy.
The exhibition presents a total of 75 works from Bloch's impressive life's work – ranging from religious images and history paintings to sentimental and comic scenes onwards to a dawning realism. Bloch embraced all these things and is presented here as artist poised between the Golden Age from which he sprang and the modern, fragmented world emerging around the time of his death.
27 May – 5 November 2023Baroque
The second major special exhibition of the year is full of sensory delights and strong emotions. A total of around sixty paintings, twenty works on paper and two plaster sculptures tell the exuberant story of the European Baroque. A time of great upheavals where religion was challenged and philosophy and science took on new significance.
24 August – 26 November 2023Jessie Kleemann
In the autumn of 2023, #SMK presents the first-ever Jessie Kleemann (b. 1959) solo show at a Danish museum. For three decades now, Kleemann has been a significant figure on the #contemporaryart scene with her original and expressive approach to video art, experimental theatre, feminism, the body and performance art. The exhibition shows a selection of installations and video works as well as two entirely new performance works created especially for #SMK.
Jessie Kleemann has spent most of her life traveling back and forth between Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat), where she was born, and Denmark, where she lives and works today. Based on complex relationships and exchanges between cultures, her practice examines how the Greenlandic identity and tradition, the country and its language all change over time.
9 November 2023 – 3 March 2024Melchior Lorck
Next winter, #SMK will show the first-ever major presentation of the Danish-German artist Melchior Lorck (1526/27–after 1583), who is one of the most remarkable artists of the Renaissance. Born in Flensburg, Lorck lived in many different places in Europe during the course of his life, and these richly varied places of residence made a distinctive impact on his works.
In 1555 he set out for Istanbul in the Ottoman Empire, where he stayed for four years. Subsequently, he created the so-called Turkish Publication featuring iconic depictions of clerics, soldiers, craftsmen, horses and architecture, which made him famous in his own day and in posterity. The exhibition shows all of the 128 magnificent woodcuts in the Turkish Publication as well as an extensive selection of his other prints and drawings.
26 January – 16 March and 23 May – 20 August 2023SMK sends Danish Golden Age art to the USA
In 2023, forty-two of SMK's finest Danish Golden Age drawings and seven paintings will visit the USA when the exhibition Beyond the Light is presented at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and subsequently at the J. Paul Getty Museum. Created in collaboration between the two American museums and #SMK, the show unfolds the story of the Danish Golden Age, a time when national sentiments and Danish culture blossomed in the midst of a time of crisis.
17 February – 19 March 2023Exhibition performance: Electricity
The entire world is dependent on it, but what exactly is electricity? At the beginning of the new year, the #SMK collection plays host to an experimental exhibition-cum-performance about the Western world's fascination with the phenomenon of electricity. Through theatre, music, visual arts, old devices and sizzling scientific experiments, the Reumert-winning theatre and performance group Hotel Pro Forma takes audiences on an enthralling journey through history.
1 April – 22 October 2023SMK Thy
On 1 April, #SMK Thy opens for yet another season of exhibitions, guided tours and events, curated with a special focus on the local area and surroundings in Thy. The programme will be published at the beginning of the new year.
