From her home in Nørrebro in Copenhagen, Haderslev-born Danish-English multidisciplinary artist Birgitte Moos Chalcraft talks about her time in Los Angeles at the start of the booming art scene in the Arts District of Downtown LA.

There, she was inspired by her fellow artists and the land and street art movements. Birgitte talks about her focus on the intersection of psychology and art, her interest in quantum physics, and her new project, creating an age 50+ female artist group.

Birgitte selects a work by Lena Adler Petersen and Bjørn Nørgaard from the SMK collection.
