Dates: October 18th - November 22nd
The museum participates in the international celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus with a large research-based exhibition 'Bauhaus - #itsalldesign' developed by the Vitra Designmuseum and the Bundeskunsthalle Bonn. The exhibition addresses, for the first time, all aspects of the school's activities and meanings and describes how contemporary designers and designers carry on the Bauhaus heritage. The exhibition shows why design as a method of change developed at Bauhaus can still create the best possible world.
The goal of design is to radically improve people's lives. At the museum, we convey the potential of design, before, now and in the future. The big buzzword of the time is disruption. Everyone is studying what wants and can bring about total change today. Design became a new phenomenon in the 20th century, causing disruption.

Lauren Greenfield: Generation Wealth at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
Dates: August 22nd - March 8th
A visual shell shock: With 'Generation Wealth,' Lauren Greenfield has created a unique document of the recent decades' crazed consumerism in a world, which is increasingly obsessed with the dream of looking both beautiful and rich.
The exhibition is not about the super-rich one percent of the population or the financial world; it is rather, in Greenfield’s own words, about how the body, youth, sexuality, and ‘looking rich’ have become the values of our time. Exposing the system behind this version of capitalism is the true mission of the exhibition. Greenfield depicts not only the winners but also those who go to the wall in the face of the grotesque spirit of competition.
Vejen til Palmyra (Road to Palmyra), at Glyptoteket
Dates: Until March 1st, 2020
A unique collection comes alive this exhibition is based on the Glyptotek's unparalleled collection of antique tomb portraits from Palmyra.

The exhibition is on display until 1st March 2020, and on Thursday, 3rd October, the city is explored from multiple angles in an evening filled with talks, workshops, music, and guided tours.
Matters - Rethinking Materials, at the Design Museum, Denmark
Dates: August 28th - March 29th, 2020

The exhibition is displayed in the museum's new outdoor exhibition stands at Museum Square.
Matters shows how five Nordic designers work in a different way to rethink the way materials can influence future design concepts and processes in a more sustainable direction. These are both synthetic and organic materials. The exhibition is part of CHART's Curio initiative and has been developed in close collaboration with the museum.
Art & Porn, at Charlottenborg Kunsthal
Dates: October 5th - January 12th, 2020
To mark the fiftieth anniversary of lifting the ban on visual pornography in Denmark, Kunsthal Charlottenborg presents in collaboration with ARoS, the group exhibition Art & Porn.
The exhibition presents the development of art from the 60s legalization of visual pornography to the current fourth-wave feminism and highlights how art is influenced by changing the law on pornography. What are the implications when the boundaries of what citizens may be faced with in public spaces change from one day to the next?
The exhibition opens with the famous artwork Sex-Paralysappeal (1936) by the artist Wilhelm Freddie (1909-1995). The discussions that followed in the wake of Wilhelm Freddie’s work contributed significantly to Denmark as the first country, lifting the ban on pornography in 1969.
Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything, at GL Strand
Dates: October 24th, - April 13th, 2020
The world-renowned novelist, poet, and singer-songwriter, Leonard Cohen (Montreal 1934 – Los Angeles 2016) has inspired generations of writers, musicians, and artists. He was an extraordinary poet of sorrow and the human condition, giving voice to what it means to be fully alert to the complexities and desires of both body and soul. We are privileged to have Cohen’s music, words, and performances inhabit both the Kunstforeningen GL STRAND and Nikolaj Kunsthal for six months, offering a critical celebration, loving tribute, and quiet commemoration of a vast artistic achievement, and inspiring life.
Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything is the first exhibition entirely devoted to the imagination and legacy of the influential singer/songwriter, a man of letters, and a global icon from Montreal, Canada.
Wednesday 2nd October
Time: 14.00-16.00
Location: DIIS - Dansk Institut for Internationale Studier, Auditorium, Gl. Kalkbrænderi Vej 51A, 2100 Copenhagen
They called themselves the Filipino Pioneers, the generation of workers who came to Denmark from 1960 to 1973 when the Danish ‘guest worker’ recruitment formally ended at the same time as the Philippine government was in the process of creating a labor export program. Despite the immigration stop, Denmark was by the end of the 1970s on the list of countries served by the new Overseas Employment Development Board, which was already deploying Philippine workers to more than one hundred countries.
What were the implications of the new migration regimes that emerged in the second half of the 20th century? How did it affect migrants and their laboring lives? How can we explain the paradox of a formal ‘immigration stop’ and continued migration, dynamically shaping 21st-century labor markets and political agendas?

Susanne, Birgitte, and Grethe were colleagues for many years in the same newspaper until they were laid off. Without skipping a beat, they relied on their other talents and began to create art.
"Free" will be their first show together, and it is quite unpredictable what the result will be ... except it will be good.
Susanne Bondrop paints expressive naturalistic, where the main source of inspiration is currently Danish landscapes - especially Dyrehaven, Ermelunden, Bellevue, and the Baltic Sea.
Birgitte Elkær expresses herself through non-figurative, naïve, and happy image collages with material structure. She uses acrylic paint, magazine imprinting, typography, and layer upon layer tear-off of paper in contrasting color combinations.
Grethe Nielsen is a cartoonist and often finds herself in the company of surrealist motifs. Most recently, she has concentrated on the development of the gender political cartoon "The Naked Truth - According to Iris & Angela" and caricature drawings of current profiles.
In the middle of Copenhagen's Latin Quarter lies Pop Up-Copenhagen's fine premises, where you can come Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and see the result of this artistic merger.

If you are not doing as much good as you would like to, you are not alone. The gap between what we intend to do and what we do is something that we all experience, and it can feel frustrating at times.
Jacob Schjødt will help you get wiser on why you and almost everyone else fall victim to the intention-behavior gap. Even more importantly, Jacob will give you tools to help you in closing your gaps.
For this free event, we hope to get you closer to understanding and reacting to the gap between what you intend to do and what you spend time doing.
To be sure to get a spot, you will need to claim a free ticket. Free tickets are available here: https://billetto.dk/e/why-are-we-not-doing-as-much-good-as-we-would-like-to-billetter-387368.

Sinful Scandinavia at Huset KBH
Welcome to the first of 4 nights celebrating the concept of “Scandinavian Sin,” which got its global breakthrough 50 years ago when, in 1969, Denmark abolished movie censorship. (all seven films in this series are screened on 35mm!) Sweden, too, contributed much to this era and features heavily in this series, but tonight we go all in for two local items and show a pair of early Danish films (In Danish – no subtitles) that each on their tentative way marked the beginning of something new. Both are quite innocent and barely hinted at the decadent times to come.
*RESERVATIONS can be made via husetsbio.reservation@mail.dk. Please include “ SIN DAY 1” and the number of reservations desired in the subject line of your e-mail, and you will receive a quick confirmation with further info.

Filmuniversitetet - Film Series - Morgen: spejlet (Original Title: Zerkalo)
The Mirror
Instructor: Andrej Tarkovsky
The main character - Tarkovsky's alter ego - is in crisis. He thinks back to his childhood under Stalin's rule while trying to control his life. Tarkovsky even stated about the film that it is purely autobiographical. All situations in the film are based on facts, even the dream sequences. The film takes place in a troubled focus between silence, fear, pain, and failure - and is a chaotic, ruthless portrait of absence of joy, absence of faith, and absence of hope. The director tells his story in free-associative sequences, in dream sequences, the camera is, so to speak, placed in the protagonist's subconscious.
Appearances by: Margarita Terekhova, Ignat Danilsev, Larisa Tarkovskaya
Original title: Zerkalo, Soviet Union, 1974, 35mm, 105 min., Danish subtitles, Allowed for all but children under seven years are not advised.
