ART: Pussy Power: New Exhibition Pays Tribute to Feminist Pioneer
From June 15 to October 22 – to celebrate the 80th birthday of Kirsten Justesen – Kunsten Museum of Modern Art Aalborg is paying tribute to this veritable pioneer of the Danish art world. Based on the museum’s collection, decades of work are presented, featuring pieces highlighting Justesen’s role as a feminist and avant-gardist.

MUSIC: Copenhagen Jazz Festival
The music festival that celebrates jazz in all possible and impossible guises will transform the whole town from June 30 to July 9. The music plays everywhere: on the square and in the city’s parks, in the jazz clubs and new temporary stages, in theatres and in museums and – not least – in the city’s largest and most beautiful concert halls.

DANCE: Copenhagen Summer Dance
The beloved dance festival will make Ofelia Plads shake from July 5 to 9. The program will once again be packed with world-class dance and exciting new initiatives such as ‘dance films under the night sky’, and free activities such as Gaga training and yoga. Some of the events are free.

COMEDY: Late-night English Comedy
At Knock Knock Comedy Bar enjoy a night where established comedians, upcoming talents and brand-new faces entertain the audience. The show will start on July 1 at 23:00, but the bar is open before. Tickets cost 75kr.

RESTAURANT: Svinkløv Badehotel
Local and seasonal ingredients are de rigueur at Svinkløv Badehotel restaurant. Chef Henrik Aggerholm Olsen ensures the smooth running of “a kitchen that pays tribute to the farmers, fishermen, millers and dairymen who do the basic and all-important work”. Politiken’s Ibyen gives it a maximum score of six hearts.

TV: Hijack
Released yesterday, this seven episode thriller series has drawn comparisons with ’24’ because it plays out in actual time: the duration of a flight to Dubai. Hijackers take over the plane but they hadn’t counted on Idris Elba’s audition to be the next James Bond. Critics have generally enjoyed it, giving it a collated score of 66 on Metacritic.

FILM: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
It could only be one choice this week, right? Opening today is the fifth and presumably final instalment of a franchise that started all the way back in 1981. CGI has been used to make Harrison Ford look younger but none was necessary to make villain Mads Mikkelsen look more evil. The critics are lukewarm: 57 on Metacritic.
