Soon after the general elections in Denmark, some of the most prominent national and international profiles will exhibit in the first group exhibition for political art in Denmark. Chinese Ai WeiWei, British Banksy, Swedish Lars Vilks and Danish Firoozeh Bazrafkan are among the 13 artists taking part in an exhibition at Laesoe Art Hall. Political art represents both the fight and the vaccine against the culture of silence that exists in every society. The political artist breaks down taboos so that paths are opened for exchanging thoughts and ideas between individuals and between citizens and leaders. For this reason, political art is essential. And for this reason, this exhibition is essential, says the curator of the art gallery Jon Eirik Lundberg of the background behind the exhibition. Exhibition: Læsø Kunsthal, Læsø, Denmark (07.06.-28.07.2019).
