Turning left with the great Wim Wenders

Sep 17, 2014

This is a fascinating photographic diary by the German film-maker and visual artist Wim Wenders.
Using material from his work-related travels over the last 30 years – including enormous panoramas of a desolate fairground in Armenia, radioactive landscapes in Fukushima and an open air theatre in Sicily – the exhibition mirrors the broad spectrum of Wenders’ work.

“Everyone turns right because that’s where the interesting things are, but I turn left … to the places that are strangely quiet or oddly calm,” he explains.

Opens Sep 28; Gammel Strand, Gammel Strand 48, Cph K; glstrand.dk

Ancher vs Krøyer

Friends and rivals, these two Danish painters influenced each other’s lives and art. The exhibition chiefly compares and contrasts their landscapes of Skagen, where they both lived.
