A group of internationally renowned visual artists from Asia, Africa, Middle East, Latin America, the U.S. and Europe, including Denmark have been chosen to participate in this exhibition . This event fashions the Museum’s tribute to H.C.Andersen on the occasion of his 200th birthday. Each work relates to Andersen’s life and work demonstrating that the fairy tales’ fantastic universe of life and death, of good and evil powers, of the true and the false, of wisdom and foolishenss and, above all, of love still serves - even today - as a bountiful source of inspiration for our present day’s artists. What this entails is that many different kinds of visual expressions, in the form of paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, installations and videos - and often in hybrid forms - are represented here. Includes Kara Walker, William Kentridge, Tony Ousler, Jeff Koons, Tal R, Jorge Pardo, Pipilotti Rist among many more.
