CULTURE & ART I cannot do it alone – want to join in? Poul Gernes (1925-1996) is one of the truly great Danish artists of the post-war generation. Many people know his decoration of the Palads Cinema on Axeltorv in Copenhagen; on the other hand no popular breakthrough has materialized for his works in the world of public institutions. Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Copenhagen wants to remedy this with the exhibition Poul Gernes: I cannot do it alone – want to join in? In some strange way Gernes appears today both as a cool designer and as the inveterate critic of capitalism, and for others again as the mediator of a new, popular art. Cool, colorful, provocative, wildly experimental and visionary—Louisiana’s summer exhibition on Poul Gernes is simultaneously a powerful humorous, beautiful and ambiguous story about this interesting Danish artists. The exhibition will be available for visitors until the 16th of October. 1 2 3 4 1. LOCARNO FILM FESTIVAL 03.08.2016 – 13.08.2016 VARIOUS VENUES, LOCARNO, SWITZERLAND 3.
