Kabine is a non-commercial artist run gallery situated in Reykjaviksgade 4, Islands Brygge, Copenhagen. Since 2004, Kabine has instigated a string of contemporary art exhibitions with young Danish artists. Kabine’s primary concern is artistic process and exchange. Kabine display works by artists who work across boundaries in a variety of media – i.e. drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, multimedia and architecture. The works of art exhibited over the past two years have often been made especially for the gallery space.

Julie Lundsteen Boserup (DK)
Rose Eken (DK/UK)

+ surprises

The British artist Tom Woolner will in conjunction with showing work at the fair exhibit new work at Kabine’s gallery space in Reykjaviksgade 4, Islands Brygge.

Tom Woolner’s contribution is made possible by funding by the Danish Arts Council.

Julie Lundsteen Boserup (DK), visual artist. Julie L. Boserup’s work is closely infiltrated with the immediate environment. In her works, she scrutinizes the surrounding urban landscape by insisting on a dialogue with the weird, yet often surprisingly coherent statements of style, preferences and taste.

Rose Eken (DK/UK), visual artist. Rose Eken's work addresses the nature of particular interior spaces and the way these spaces relate to the collective unconscious.

Ditte Marie Eriksen (DK), visual artist. Ditte Marie Eriksen’s drawings make use of the language of comics to describe the displacement between the reality of space and the spatial internalization of the subject.

Stine Marie Eriksen (DK), photographer, visual artist. Stine Marie Eriksen’s works explores the relation between art and documentary photography. She addresses this diversity by utilizing found imagery and photographs collected from particular target groups.

Karen Land Hansen (DK), visual artist. A key theme underlying Karen Land Hansen’s work is the relationship between the fictional and the factual. Her work engages with the contradictions surrounding these two realms and their overlapping.

Sian Kristoffersen (DK), photographer, visual artist. Sian Kristoffersen’s photographs, drawings and sculptural works exist where poetic meets hardcore.

Lasse Lau (DK/US), visual artist, filmmaker. The art introduced by Lau seeks to reach an understanding on art and democracy in an ongoing antagonistic process of dialogue and research by accumulating meanings from various site-specific locations.

Jomi Massage (alias Signe Høirup Wille-Jørgensen) (DK), musician, composer, performance artist, visual artist. Jomi Massage is the unpredictable composer and lead singer in ’murmur’ (Denmark's first noise rock band) and the indie-rockband ’speaker bite me’. She recently recorded with Danmarks Radios Big Band. Jomi Massage also works as a visual artist i.e. through ’Say would you fancy a game of tennis’ - a gallery in her private apartment. Her work crosses the gap between the various artistic genres challenging different artistic medias.

Mikkel Niemann (DK), visual artist. Mikkel Niemann explores and expands the traditional media of painting by applying a sculptural dimension to the works. He integrates architectural elements in his work, mapping the individual and collective memory of urban spaces.

Jarno Varsted (DK), harp-player, guitarist, singer and composer. Jarno Varsted experiments with American blues and folk tradition. He challenges the traditional rock-form by involving features from electronica as well as adding his personal artistic expression to the music. He is engaged in a wide range of bands and musical projects i.e. ’Young Comets’, ’Rumspringa’ and the upcoming experimental band ’Maskinpark’.

Tom Woolner (UK), visual artist, performance artist. Tom Woolner’s practice focuses on making object-based installations and the orchestration of live events. His work sits on the border between humour and pathos, as aspirational objects revealing their construction and failings, just about holding themselves together for the duration of the exhibition.
