Join us for the opening celebration of a retrospective exhibition by US artist Alison Knowles, a key figure in the founding of the Fluxus movement in the early 1960s — not least at Nikolaj Kunsthal. Expect performances, a DJ set, and beers from Depanneur

You are invited to the opening of the exhibition Alison Knowles: Retrospective 1960–2022 at Nikolaj Kunsthal!

The recently deceased American artist Alison Knowles’ works can be experienced at Nikolaj Kunsthal – the very place where, in the early 1960s, she helped found the Fluxus movement. The retrospective exhibition is generous in its presentation of her long artistic career from 1960 to 2022, and on the occasion of the exhibition, a number of her performances and happenings will be re-enacted.

The opening celebration takes place on Friday 24 April, 16-20. As part of the opening programme, visitors can experience a performance of the choral work "Piece for Any Number of Vocalists" (1962) and take part in the performative event "Celebration Red" (1962), where guests are encouraged to bring a red object to be included in the work.

The opening programme also features a dj and free beer from Depanneur – first come, first served. Everyone is welcome.
