It will present the works of Tomas Saraceno (AR), Henrik Håkansson (SE), the Icelandic Love Corporation (IS), Superflex (DK), Bright Ugochukwu Eke (NG), Olafur Eliasson (IS/DK) and many others.

 

 
RETHINK consist of four separate parts with different themes:

• RETHINK The Implicit, Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art, 31/10-27/12
• RETHINK Kakotopia, Nikolaj Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, 31/10-10/1
• RETHINK Information, Moesgård Museum and online from 31/10

 

The exhibition is a result of a cooperation between the National Gallery of Denmark, Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art, Nikolaj Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center and the Alexandra Institute and is supported by the Branding Denmark Fund, the City of Copenhagen and the Danish Arts Council.

 

The Nordic Culture Fund has appointed RETHINK "Nordic Exhibition of the Year 2009-2010" and it will tour several cities in the Nordic countries in 2010.

 

The Danish Minister for Climate and Energy, Connie Hedegaard says: ‘Art can act as a source of inspiration and initiate reflection. Naturally, I hope that some of the many politicians who come to Copenhagen for the climate conference in December will be inspired by the exhibition. However, it is also important that citizens get the opportunity to view the climate challenge from a cultural perspective.’
