A master of visual narrative, Stengle uses a variety of media to explore themes that express basic human needs - our longing for love and understanding, our vulnerability, and the fears that stem from the transient quality of life. Though she frequently uses the format of a book, we can also find sculpture, drawing, and painting within this artists’ alluring work. Stengle often uses familiar objects, placing them in unexpected situations, and thereby challenges the viewer to detect an array of an object’s latent meaning.

It is the American art historian Courtney J. Martin, who in the monograph “THE TANGIBLE SPACE”, tells of Morten Straede as one of he most recognized and productive artists of the Danish art scene. Martin wrote the catalog text for Morten Strede’s solo exhibition “Seven Sorrowful Songs” at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, and puts Morten Straede into an international context and tradition in relation to visual artists such as Bruce Nauman and Richard Sera. Morten Straede made his breakthrough in the 1980’s, where the abstract design language was characteristic of the sculptors of the time, who, like their contemporary wild painters, included elements of literature, semiotics and philosophy in their art. Strait’s sculptures- which have found a prominent place in the public space over the past 10-15 years offer many oppotunities for understanding and interpretating and at the same time have the weight that is needed when a work is public art.

The first retrospective monograph on internationally acclaimed Danish artist's collective Superflex, An Artist with 6 Legs catalogues the group's work from 1993 to 2013. The first major museum retrospective for this group--known for their participatory, politically engaged projects which they call "tools"--is appropriately unconventional, comprised of eight individual retrospectives curated by Eungie Joo, Yuko Hasegawa, Toke Lykkeberg, Daniel McClean and Lisa Rosendahl, Adriano Pedrosa, Agustín Pérez Rubio, Hilde Teerlinck and Rirkrit Tiravanija. Kunsthal Charlottenborg also signed a contract prohibiting the institution, the artists or the curators from mentioning the group by name during the exhibition's run--hence the replacement of the name "Superflex" with a black bar or the characters "XXXXXXX throughout the catalogue. An Artist with 6 Legs is both conceptual provocation and an essential reference.
