After the Silence Exhibition


We are so please to be a part of this major exhibition at SMK/National Gallery of Denmark.

“Come explore art that’s ready to do battle! In this year’s major autumn exhibition, we give the floor to some of art history’s prominent women artists. Taking the women’s liberation movement in the 1970s as our springboard, we focus on how women have used art as an instrument of battle to create change in the world over the last hundred years.

Melting letters and a hovering airplane

With the exhibition After the Silence – women of art speak out, SMK sheds new light on a range of women artists who delve unflinchingly into major political themes of the past and present.

Here you will find melting letters and monumental tapestries, video works, installations, paintings, prints, clay tablets – and not least a hovering airplane.
