The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk (Denmark), 01.03.24

Part 2/4 of the revival trip with some glimpses of what's inside of The Louisiana Museum. It was difficult to choose which pictures to post, everything is worth posting. In order :

One of the paintings from the Firelei Báez—Trust Memory over History exhibition. A vibrant and colorful artwork about colonial occupation and our contemporary societies.

Another painting from Firelei Báez—Trust Memory over History.

Spider couple by Louise Bourgeois in this breathtaking room with a large window overlooking on nature . Louise Bourgeois was a French-American sculptor, known among other things for her impressive sculptures of spiders, symbols of her mother and motherhood. Her work is inspired by her childhood and its traumas, especially "her love for her mother and her anger at her father", quotes the museum.

Same sculpture at another angle. This room of the museum is probably the most popular on social medias.

One of the minimalist hallway of the museum. So peaceful thanks to the large windows making you feel like you are part of the landscape.

Another perfect place but outside of the museum, if I'm not mistaken. I don't know the name of it, but I stayed there a long time, enjoying the moment in this light room.

That are some highlights but there are so much more to see. The museum is known for welcoming an important collection of Giacometti.

Holdninger og Signaler (1992)

Jeg har min helt egen holdning,

og derfor mener mange at jeg er en skoldning,

for holdninger, dem kan man ikke bare sådan gå rundt og ha’.

De prøver og prøver med denne form for tøjvask,

med denne tror de at de kan gøre mig rask,

de må virkelig være opsat på at jeg ska’ bli’ som dem.

Men hvorfor dog gå rundt og ligne hinanden,

man skal da bruge sin tid på noget andet for fanden,

næh, deres vaskepulver ka’ ikke blege mig.

Man ska’ have lov til at se ud som man vil se ud,

hvorfor dog padle rundt i denne samme evige flod,

når der er skabt tørt land på begge sider.

Det er ikke altid kun dem der klager,

sommetider ej mit tøj min mor behager,

hun sir’ jeg ligner en jordbunke.

Mange ser ud som de gør i bar protest,

det okay med mig, hvis det er sådan de føler bedst,

ens selvstændighed burde ingen kunne hole.

Man ska’ selv ha’ lov til at kolerere,

og man ska’ selv ha’ lov til at få ideer,

ingen ska’ stoppe en, når man er igang.

Nogle ser bare ud som de andre,

de har nemlig ikke nosser nok til at forandre,

sig selv om de gerne ville.

Jeg har det fint med ’the way’ jeg ser ud,

hvorfor skal folk der er anderledes stå for skud,

se det kunne de anderledes nok godt tænke sig at få at vide.

Selvom vi tit i vores eget tov står og haler,

bør vi nok stadig stoppe for de samme lyssignaler,

man ska’ bare huske ikke at forkætre.

Min skjorte er lavet af etaminer,

og man kan ikke se på mig at jeg ikke spiser vitaminer,

for jeg har ikke brug for etuder til at holde mig i form.

Nogle sidder sommetider stille hen,

man åbner deres dør lidt på klem,

men straks så blir de sure.

Andre danser rundt og griner,

man kan roligt sige at de læner,

sig op af det gode humør.

Man kan med sine ydre virkemidler udtrykke,

i hvilken retning man netop vil rykke,

rokade mig her og rokade mig der.

Men nu mit ydre de kan pille ved,

for jeg har fundet salig fred,

ja, de vil mig nu afklæde.

For holdninger og signaler,

de gir’ os alle kvaler,

ja, de var årsag til min selvstændige død.

Larger Voices Calling

Hello from about an hour from Oslo, I am in Norway, a country significant to my family heritage and childhood memories, for the first time. It is a place I have read about, a country I have spoken about with both academics and classmates, and a country, which has intrigued me. That intrigue occurred for multiple reasons as long as I can remember. So being here as I write this is both a check off…

Born in 1939 in Globe, Arizona, Douglas Wheeler attended the Chouinard Art Institute, Los Angeles (now California Institute of the Arts, Valencia) in the early 1960s. Long associated with the so-called Light and Space artists working in Southern California in the 1960s and 1970s, Wheeler is best known for his immersive installations produced through the architectural modification of the space of an entire room. In these works, controlled applications of light, and sometimes sound, produce a sensate impression of infinite space. By dematerializing the architecture, Wheeler transforms these rooms into abstract worlds.

Wheeler began his career in the early 1960s as an abstract painter of white paintings subtly inflected with color. He first incorporated light as a medium in 1965 by attaching neon elements to his canvases—works that seem to glow with a self-contained inner light. Wheeler gradually abandoned paint as a medium to produce fabricated “light paintings” and “light encasements,” large, vacuum-formed Plexiglas squares edged inside with neon tubing. Installed in controlled environments—all-white rooms that have been modified and darkly lit—the light-rimmed forms appear to float in space. With his Light Walls, first exhibited in 1969, Wheeler expanded this concept to an architectural scale, transforming a room wall through the use of neon lights embedded within the floor, walls, and ceiling. And in the Infinity Environments that he inaugurated in 1975—for example, SA MI DW SN 2 75—an entire room is dematerialized; a visitor has the experience of entering a seemingly limitless white void, in which light itself assumes an almost palpable quality. Wheeler has also conceived installations that deploy acoustic elements in order to produce certain experiences. In PSAD Synthetic Desert III, initially described in a 1968 drawing and first realized at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 2017, a near-total suppression of sound contributes to an immersive environment that replicates the optical and acoustic sensation of distance in the Painted Desert in Arizona.

Wheeler’s first solo exhibition opened at the Pasadena Art Museum in 1968 and was followed by others at the Ace Gallery, Venice, California (1970); Galerie Schmela, Düsseldorf (1970); and Galleria Salvatore Ala, Milan (1975). More recently, he has had solo shows at FRAC Lorraine, Metz, France (2012), and Palazzo Grassi, Venice (2012). Wheeler’s work has been presented in numerous group exhibitions since the 1960s, including at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (1969); Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven (1969); Tate Gallery, London (1970); P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center (now MoMA PS1), New York (1976); Venice Biennale (1976); Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (1983, 1986, 1995, and 2003); Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Denmark (1997); Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (2000); Moderna Museet, Stockholm (2008–9); and Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (2011–12). The artist lives and works in Los Angeles and Santa Fe. https://www.guggenheim.org/artwork/artist/doug-wheeler

The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk (Denmark), 01.03.24

Beginning of march 2024, I went to Copenhagen for a few days after intense months of journalism classes. This break was so welcomed and desired. I was craving alone time and travels. So, I went on a solo trip, again. It was my first time visiting a Scandinavian country. I heard only positive feedback about the Scandinavia and indeed I was not disappointed. I felt in love with Copenhagen, its architecture, art, and especially the way of life. Kind of reminded me of Japan but less crowded. Coming from Paris, I feel everyday a bit attacked by the incivility, the dirt, the loud people and many more. I definitely don't fit with the latin culture. But in Copenhagen, I felt peaceful. The general feel, was a sense of respect of personal space and slow pace. I can definitely see myself live there.

There was a specific place that I absolutely wanted to see first : The Louisiana Museum. Yes, it is the most beautiful museum that I ever visited. Which is why my pictures were mostly taken there. That place is the perfect balance between contemporary architecture and nature. Once again, it made me think about Japan. The fog was there during all my trip, which added to the landscape a mystical and kind of melancholic vibes to it.

The museum is located in Humlebæk, one hour by train from city center of Copenhagen. The journey in the train also was a pleasant experience :)

Some pictures selected of this revival trip. The 1/4 part are pictures from outside of the buildings.

Remembering

Family Hello from my guest room in Humlebæk, It seems this summer is both one to remember as well as on of remembering. It is about 4:00 a.m., and the birds have begun to sing, and the first rays of light have illuminated my comfortable room here on the Danish coast, a bit Northwest of København. A first trip back to the country initially visited in January 1981 has been quite phenomenal thus…
