In your heart, in your city

Ongoing, ends Sep 4, open Fri-Sun & Tue 11:00-17:00, Wed-Thu 11:00-21:00, closed Mon; Museum of Art in Public Spaces (KØS), Nørregade 29, Køge; 60kr; koes.dk

Featuring both indoor and outdoor installations, the exhibition In your heart, In your city is one of the largest presentations ever held at KØS (35 minutes from CPH Central Station) and promises an enjoyable visit.

Indoors, you will find the ‘Letter of Thanks’ installation. The museum received 3,000 thank you letters from adults and children in many languages last year and these are now on display, arranged in a giant labyrinth made of thread, which visitors are invited to enter and explore.

On the museum’s façade hangs Japanese artist Takafumi Hara’s nine large-scale paintings based on stories of residents of Køge.

Displayed in the square in front of the museum is Berlin-based artist Chiharu Shiota’s notable work ‘State of Being (Keys)’, consisting of a lit-up box of reinforced glass filled with thousands of old keys hung from a massive cobweb-like net weaved from red threads.

Additionally, artist Yukihiro Taguchi, known for his unique ‘performative installations’, will live for two weeks in a self-built house made from materials found on the square and visitors will be able to peer into his daily life.

The house will show animated films created from materials found in urban settings.

With almost 16% of Denmark’s population made up of internationals, we actually have the numbers to influence real change. But after publishing the last op-ed, several readers contacted me and asked: Okay, but what can we actually do?
