INVITATION 👀

LOOKLOOK is pleased to present ‘Shadow Dancers’, a solo exhibition by artist Philip Dufva (), curated by . We are happy to invite you to the opening on Thursday, the 5th of February, from 5 to 7 pm at Borgergade 17B.

For the exhibition Shadow Dancers, freestanding plexiglass panels are held within a wooden structure. Grooves are cut into the surface with sharp tools, recalling the printmaker’s workshop. The image, however, is not intended to be fixed on a two-dimensional surface, nor is it meant to be reproduced. For Dufva, etching becomes a physical act of inscription – an attempt to assert presence through gesture.

Subtle etched lines appear and disappear as light shifts and the viewer’s position changes.

Encountered from the street, the works become part of the urban rhythm, creating layers of depth and overlapping views, blurring the boundary between sculpture and space. The works register bodily presence rather than depict it, revealing how architecture unconsciously shapes bodily movement in public space.

The exhibition will be on view 24/7 from the 5th of February throughout the spring.

Philip Dufva (b. 1993, Stockholm) lives and works in Copenhagen. He holds an MFA (2023) from the Royal Institute of Fine Arts in Stockholm. Working with drawing, sculpture, and installation, his practice engages with questions of belonging, queerness, and the politics of public space, revealing cracks in dominant narratives.

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we can now unveil the winners of phase 1 of the project competition ´Byens Scene´.

In September, the initial five teams entered Phase 1—the idea phase—each developing a unique artistic and architectural vision to creatively connect DR Koncerthus, Bella Arena, and Royal Arena.
Each of the five teams

The result was five challenging and well-considered proposals with high-quality overarching concepts. Out of five visionary proposals that inspired lively and challenging discussions during the evaluation meetings, the Jury Committee has chosen to select three proposals to advance to Phase 2. The proposals The Impact, Bellscape, and Byens Scener - Alice in Ørestad will be further developed over the coming months, with a final winner to be selected by the summer of 2025.

As artistic advisors to the steering committee we're thrilled about the three selected teams and their proposals. Have a look at the images above for a glimpse of their concepts.

Working within a sphere that encompasses science fiction, mysticism, and scientific exploration, Myntekjær's artistic endeavors are defined by elaborate installations that intricately blend a diverse range of materials. These elements include light, masks, algae dust, plants, reed mats, and cutting-edge technology.
