At Culture Night (Kulturnatten) on 13 October, @vertigo.dk takes over SMK’s entrance hall with their newly-created audiovisual work Vanitas/Residue. This work is inspired by Baroque symbols such as extinguished candles, fleeting soap bubbles, and peeled lemons! And if that’s not enough, you can also hear the award-winning Icelandic composer @baragisladóttir perform the soundtrack of Vanitas/Residue on double bass. 🤗 Remember: Free entrance with a Culture pass. #smkmuseum #culturenight #kulturnatten #vertigo #free #instamuseum #copenhagen #brugdinby #artmuseum

In today’s news from our online collection SMK Open, we bring you this brand-new artwork from 2023 by Norwegian photographer Torbjørn Rødland. And talking about 2023, does this necessarily mean he took the picture himself? #AI Torbjørn Rødland, Desert Bike, 2023© Torbjørn Rødland / VISDA #smkmuseum #onlinecollection #ai #instamuseum #bike #desert #generated #smkopen

What is the color of October? Perhaps something like a maple leaf? 🍁 In our opinion, Swedish/Danish artist Karin Nathorst Westfelt captured it quite accurately in 1965 with her painting ‘Maple. October’. The work is currently not on display, but you can find more pieces by Westfelt in our online collection, SMK Open. There, by the way, you can also search individually for every color on the color scale 🟡🟠🟤 #openglam Karin Nathorst Westfelt, Maple.

Looking at a work of art in a mirror to determine its effectiveness is an old trick of the painter’s trade. Revealing this trick demonstrates how even an artist can struggle to recognize his identity and understand his actions. Notice how the smooth mirror, intended to depict the world accurately, is split in two. The world has been divided. The truth about identity is complex. Wilhelm Bendz may not have realized it when he painted in 1826, but he created the ideal teaser for our upcoming SMK Fridays: Reflections. During this event, we will delve into how art can offer fresh perspectives on ourselves, on one another, emotions, history, and contemporary society. We hope to see you on October 6. 🪞🪩 Wilhelm Bendz, A Young Artist (Ditlev Blunck) Examining a Sketch in a Mirror, 1826 #smkfridays #reflections #mirrors #smkmuseum #free #fridaysbar #art #copenhagen #brugdinby

We humans see reflections of ourselves in one another. We turn to literature, music, and art in search of something that resonates or inspires: Who are we? Who do we want to be? On October 6, we invite you once again to participate in our recurring art event, SMK Fridays. Together, we’ll delve into how art can offer fresh perspectives on ourselves, on human emotions, history, and contemporary society. We hope to see you then! 🪞🤗 #smkmuseum #smkfridays #copenhagen #free #brugdinby #reflections #fridaysbar #instamuseum

We heard some small talk coming from room 218B and discovered a group of Danish artists in the midst of a serious discussion. Now back on display is Constantin Hansen’s ambitious painting ‘A Group of Danish Artists in Rome’ from 1837. Feel free to drop by and find out what they are talking about. 💬 #smkmuseum #nowondisplay #artmuseum #copenhagen #rome #constantinhansen

“It is very simple. My drawings are the key to my work.” - Auguste Rodin The French artist Auguste Rodin (1840–1917) is best known for his dramatic, pathos-filled sculptures, which he created from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. These works revolutionized the art of sculpture. But Rodin was also a draughtsman. In fact, he produced more than 10,000 drawings, and they occupy a key position in the evolution and method of his art. On that note, we would like to hear from you - should we show more drawings (and sketches) here on IG? Woman Standing in Water, 1898 – 1902 (Drawing). Currently not on display. To lovers, 1878 – 1881 (Drawing). Currently not on display. The Round Dance, 1883 – 1884 (Engraving). Currently not on display. #smkmuseum #drawings #rodin #art #copenhagen #instamuseum #smkopen

You might not know, but it's time for your daily dose of Hammershøi 🤗 What do you see in this artwork? Is the woman depicted about to dress herself in an everyday situation, or does she seem frozen in time? Why are her facial features, especially her eyes, absent? Feel free to leave your comments, or drop by room 221 to take a closer look at Vilhelm Hammershøi’s ‘Female Standing Nude’ from 1909. #smkmuseum #hammershøi #femalenude #art #copenhagen #sharingcph #artmuseum #instamuseum
