”You are born alone. You die alone. The value of the inbetween is trust and love.” (Bourgeois, 1987). At this exhibition we focus on one of life’s central themes: motherhood. Mother & Child is Louise Bourgeois’ celebration of motherhood, from fertility to the special bond which exist between mother and child during the pregnancy, the birth and the child’s life. Louise Bourgeois’ was preoccupied with the existential and worked and interpretated this her whole life. She influenced the 20th Century’s dominating art movements from surrealism in the 1930s to the installation art of the 1990s. The exhibition Mother & Child is with other words a meeting with one of the most impressive profiles of our time. The French-American artist Bourgeois has through her long life created one of the most spectacular and personal bodies of artworks within modern art. She died in the Spring 2010, 98 years of age and we are pleased to be able to celebrate her and her work with this exhibition of her late works. The works in the exhibition, which include gouache and sculpture, are highly delicate and poetic but also very strong, embracing the universal topic of motherhood for a broad public audience. The intense red colour of the gouache works in many different nuances gives the motifs warmth and life, and makes the works extraordinarily vivid. The exhibition is created in close collaboration with Nordiska Akvarellmuseet, Sweden and The Louise Bourgeois Estate. Bourgeois’ cv encompasses the most respected and high profiled museums and art institutions around the world, and at Kunstforeningen GL STRAND we are honoured to present Bourgeois in Copenhagen.

The Vejleå Church is considered a masterpiece of contemporary Danish church art. It has been visited by more than 200,000 guests during the last decade. In collaboration with Wohlert Architects, Peter Brandes designed the church's artworks: stained glass, mosaics, baptismal font, organ, silverware, altar, globe, as well as sculptures and crucifix. The many hundreds of reproductions in the book show the stages from the initial sketches to the finished result. Through this unique documentation, together with the essays of three authors, the book endeavors to identify the church's expression and idea, and define why the "actions" of light and reflections make the church a place of pilgrimage.
