Exhibitions

The exhibition Ghosthouse will transform Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art into a house of horrors. Ghosthouse is simultaneously a traditional exhibition and an immersive performance. Artworks in versatile media are presented: sculptures, textile, fashion, costumes, concerts, performances, video works, installations. All the exhibited artworks pivot aspects of illusion and horror, representing the uncanny in minor offsets that turn the familiar into something disturbing, weird or eerie.

Exhibiting artists: DIS (US), Wilhelm Freddie (DK), Esben Weile Kjær (DK), Adam Christensen (UK), Rolf Nowotny (DK), Rikard Thambert (SE), Vaquera (US), Dorota Gawęda (PL) & Eglė Kulbokaitė (LT), Vitaly Bezpalov (RU), Wendy Jim (AT), Mette Hammer Juhl (DK) & Ruth Angel Edwards (UK), Aske Høier Olsen (DK), Roman Ole (DE).

Ghosthouse is curated by Anna Weile Kjær. It will only run by night from 9 pm to 2 am with prebooked tickets and fixed timeslots.
