New Worlds Emerge - an exhibition about video games
NEW WORLDS EMERGE handler om videospil, tilblivelsen af nye
virtuelle verdener og de unikke oplevelser der opstår når spillenes
fantasifulde og forførende scenarier folder sig ud.
De seneste år har en række danske spilstudier sat Danmark og
dansk produceret spil på det internationale verdenskort. Spil som
Subway Surfers, Hitman, Inside og Deep Rock Galactic er berømte
verden over. Det er spil for alle aldersgrupper der bringer
mennesker på tværs af kloden sammen i nye former for fællesskab
med udgangspunkt i spillenes dragende verdener.
Udstillingen tager dig med bag kulisserne og ser nærmere på, hvad
der ligger før det færdige spil. Hvordan skabes en ny verden, man
får lyst til at fordybe sig i ud af ingenting? Hvordan kombinerer
spillenes lyde og visuelle elementer til stemninger som får spillere til
at fortabe sig i timevis? Hvordan designer man en fed spilkarakter?
Hvilke overvejelser ligger der bag spillets design og æstetik – og
ikke mindst – hvorfor drages vi af disse fantasifulde konstruktioner?
New Worlds Emerge giver indblik i skitser, overvejelser og det
bagvedliggende arbejde med udviklingen af videospil.
I samarbejde med en række berømte danske spilstudier
perspektiverer New Worlds Emerge nye former for innovation,
indlevelse og menneskelige relationer set gennem spillenes vidt
New Worlds Emerge fejrer videospillets unikke dimension og er en
hyldest af den danske spilverden anno 2022!
Online screening: Granny’s Life
All summer you have te chance to visit te outdoor, large scale exhibition Granny by te Ukrainian artist Olena Morozova on te walls of our exhibition venue Frame on Refshaleøen. Te touching exhibition was part of this year’s photo festival as a part of Odesa Photo Days. It explores te relationship between te artist and her grandmother, who was once an independent feminist, but was living with dementia in te last years of her life.
As a special summer treat we can now also show Olena Morozova’s film Granny here. Te film was shown in our cinema during te festival. We urge you to see Morozova’s portrait of her granny and also to support her fundraiser to get te project published – we would love to see this project as a book!
You can pre-order te book or find more information on how to support here
“In te photos of te project Granny are my granny, me and my younger children Maria and Tymur. My granny had a very bright life, she was a really bright and interesting person with a great sense of humor. She was a doctor, a gynecologist. She started her practice in Siberia, but she dreamed of living in Kyiv and one day her dream came true.
She was also an examplary feminist. In te Soviet days this was quite strange. All her life she did everything herself. She raised her son (my dad) by herself, she earned money, saved people's lives, helped newborns to life, she got an apartment in Kyiv herself, bought a car for her son and she never got married, but she had many lovers.
I started researching te problem of dementia when my grandmother was diagnosed with it. We talked about her illness so that she does not lose touch with reality. I also involved my children in this process, which was very helpful.
Te burden of dementia
According to te WHO, in 2017 there were more than 50 million people with dementia worldwide. 7.7 million new cases are reported yearly, each one becomes a significant burden on families and health systems. Dementia causes te brain to degenerate and it is characterized by a persistent decrease in cognitive activity with a loss of previously acquired knowledge and practical skills. From te very first manifestations to severe forms, patients require care and social support.
Glimpses of her complex and interesting character are like pearls that you acquire through te hard work of constant communication. These moments dear to our hearts, te chronicle of te struggle against "te darkness" and visions from a past life: military childhood, interesting youth, medical practice in te cruel inhuman conditions of te Russian hinterland, are te essence of te project, which has become more than a project for me.
At a certain moment, I felt te need to photograph her in those moments when she talks about her visions. I have traced a clear relationship between memories, strong impressions and fears from my grandmother's past and painful visions in te present.
There is no happy ending in this struggle, te illness always wins, and this dread is visible. When phantasmagorias merge with reality it's always scary, and te only thing that can help is te attention of relatives and closeness.
Fundraiser to publish Granny
I think that such an interesting person and interesting life story is worth publishing in an art book. I found a book designer and publisher in Kyiv called RedZet. We did a lot of work on it already and now we have started a fundraiser to publish 300 copies of te first edition of te book «Granny».” Photographer Olena Morozova

More than 100 photographs are brought together at GL STRAND to present te full breath of Muholi’s career to date, from their very first body of work Only Half te Picture, to their on-going series Somnyama Ngonyama. These works challenge dominant ideologies and representations, presenting te participants in their photographs as fellow human beings being bravely existing in te face of prejudice, intolerance and often violence.
Kurator Talk: Om at skabe udstillingen ”ZANELE MUHOLI”
Mød Yasufumi Nakamori, Senior Curator of International Art (Photography) ved Tate Modern i en samtale med GL STRANDs chefkurator Anne Kielgast om hans samarbejde med Zanele Muholi og tilblivelsen af udstillingen, der er den første store survey-udstilling over kunstnerens værk. Udstillingen åbner senere samme dag og er tilrettelagt af Tate Modern i samarbejde med GL STRAND.
Den sydafrikanske visuelle aktivist Zanele Muholi (f. 1972) brød igennem i starten af 00’erne med fotografier, der dokumenterer sorte lesbiske, homoseksuelle mænd, biseksuelle, trans-, queer- og interseksuelles liv i Sydafrika. I dag står Zanele Muholi som en af den internationale kunstscenes mest betydningsfulde kunstnere og har udstillet over hele verden. Udstillingen i GL STRAND præsenterer hele Muholis karriere som visuel kunstner: Fra den første værkserie Only Half te Picture (2002-2006) til den igangværende serie af iscenesatte selvportrætter Somnyama Ngonyama (2012-). Muholis værker udfordrer dominerende stereotyper, repræsentationsformer og det heteronormative blik og viser mennesker, der på modig vis lever liv, hvor de bliver mødt med fordomme, intolerance og ofte vold – uden at skildre dem som ofre
LEE MILLER - Fotograf. Icon. Surrealist.
Elizabeth "Lee" Miller (1907-1977) var både som fotograf og som person normbrydende og levede et aldeles usædvanligt liv: Fotograf, model, forretningskvinden, gourmetkok, forfatter og krigskorrespondent. Hun levede et intenst liv i en verden i rygende forandring, og hun fangede den i sine fotografier: krigsreportager fra 2. Verdenskrig og surrealistiske kompositioner med bl.a. den foranderlige kvinderolle som tema. Med et enormt mod engagerede Miller sig i et væld af projekter, men mest af alt var hun en blændende god fotograf.
I udstillingen LEE MILLER – Fotograf. Ikon. Surrealist fortæller Det Kgl. Bibliotek den vilde historie om Lee Millers liv og værk gennem 100 fotografier fra perioden 1929-1964 samt et væld af breve, dokumenter og magasiner, som ikke tidligere har været vist i Danmark. Udstillingen viser bredden i Millers værk: portræt- og modefotografi fra New York og Paris, landskabsfotografi, de gruopvækkende fotografier fra 2. Verdenskrig, såvel som fabelagtige fotografier af Millers kunstnervenner og bekendtskabskreds – Man Ray, Pablo Picasso, Colette, Max Ernst, Dora Maar med flere.
Opening – LEE MILLER - Fotograf. Icon. Surrealist.

Arrangementet begynder i Dronningesalen, hvor fotofaglig kurator Charlotte Præstegaard Schwartz præsenterer Lee Millers vilde historie i samtale med barnebarnet Ami Bouhassane og Millers søn, fotografen Antony Penrose, der begge er direktører for Lee Miller Archives.
Efter arrangementet i salen byder Det Kgl. Bibliotek på et glas i atrium, og der vil være mulighed for at besøge udstillingen.
Fri entré – begrænset kapacitet.
KBH Film & Fotoskoles afgangsudstilling
I år udstiller fotograferne fra KBH Film & Fotoskole deres afgangsprojekter på Basement på Vesterbro.
Udstillingen er som altid præget af en stor diversitet, både i temaer, men også i fremstillingen af projekterne. Nogle fotografer har fotograferet det helt nære og lokale, mens andre har været langt uden for landet for at finde deres historier.
Her er alt fra det dybt personlige, til det politiske og stillingtagende, og projekterne favner både stillbilleder, installationer, lyd og levende billeder.
Fernisering d. 16.06.22 kl. 17-20
Fredag & lørdag Kl. 10-18
