Best of late-March art: Hockney in the house!

opens March 19; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Gl Strandvej 13, Humlebæk; lousiana.dk

While David Hockney’s earlier works – like ‘A Bigger Splash’ or ‘John St Clair Swimming’ – are quite likeable despite their dreadfully shrill colours, lack of depth and boring subject matter, his later work has become rather wearisome.

Nevertheless, considered an important contributor to the Pop Art movemnet of the 1960s, Bradford’s favourite son, 77, is one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century (he was even mentioned in The Sopranos once!) and his work represents a significant testimony in the landscape of modern art.

 

Carla Zaccagini & Runo Lagomarsino

opens March 21; Malmö Konsthall, St Johannesgatan 7, Malmö; konsthall.malmo.se

The Malmö and São Paulo atists present elaborate displays and narrative systems that together explore themes such as national identity.

 

What’s happening?

opens March 26; Statens Museum for Kunst, Sølvgade 48-50, Cph K; smk.dk

The SMK’s spring exhibition focuses on the reassessment within experimental art in the 1960s and 70s, as it is intersected with popular culture, sexual liberation and the women’s movement.

opens March 28; Moderna Museet Malmö, Ola Billgrens plats 2-4, Malmö

  • Internationals in Denmark rarely join a trade union

    Internationals in Denmark rarely join a trade union

    Internationals are overrepresented in the lowest-paid fields of agriculture, transport, cleaning, hotels and restaurants, and construction – industries that classically lack collective agreements. A new analysis from the Workers’ Union’s Business Council suggests that internationals rarely join trade unions – but if they did, it would generate better industry standards.
