Den Frie; Oslo Plads 1, Cph Ø; 60kr; denfrie.dk

Aarhus artist Peter Land presents his first comprehensive presentation of his works since 2005 at Den Frie this summer.
His works offer an insight into his life and personality. Using self-irony he manages to meet the audience at an eye level.
The works are mostly sculptures made from fibreglass, real hair and glass eyes, making them look life-like, but at the same time decidedly creepy. (LK)
