Arken Double Bill

Arken presents two new major exhibitions this February.
Gosh! Is it alive? (Feb 4-Aug 6) presents a collection of artworks depicting the human body. Some are real, some fantastical, most are macabre. The Danish artist Peter Land is among the 31 predominantly international artists involved.
Even if the sculptures that make up Light in Darkness (Feb 2-Jul 30) are often disparate, they have one thing in common that creates solidarity: the artificial light they are illuminated in at the darkened Large Gallery. Among the contributors is Danish artist Olafur Eliasson.
