Poster for the exhibition "ALD Carmarket København" by Jens Haaning at Den Frie Center for Contemporary Art
For this solo exhibition, Jens Haaning transformed Den Frie Center for Contemporary Art, which is located at a very prominent spot opposite Østerport station in Copenhagen, into an operational used car dealership. Apart from the cars shown in the inside, several models were on display outside the building, accompanied by large banners and other display materials. Only the posters at the entrance indicated that the installation was part of an art exhibition.

Jens Haaning
Acclaimed Danish artist, who invokes social borders, emphasizing issues of co-existence and the exclusion of marginalized groups. Through open-ended representations of foreign cultures fused with symbols of the majority culture, Haaning makes the artwork’s effect on the viewer its primary focus. jenshaaning.com |
