S5E1. Kirsten Justesen

From Frederiksberg outside of Copenhagen, Funen-born Danish artist KIRSTEN JUSTESEN talks about the iconic 1970 exhibition Damebilleder (Women's Images) and about her year-long residence in New York in 2006 with the support of the Danish Arts Foundation. Trained in classical sculpture, Kirsten describes her use of her own body in her art and about the female gaze, and shares her mixed feelings towards being called a pioneer in the feminist art movement. ----------For today's episode, Kirsten Justesen chose Melchoir Lorck's Ti kvinder fra Stralsund, or Ten Women from Stralsund, from 1571–1573 from the collection of the National Gallery of Denmark.https://open.smk.dk/en/artwork/image/KKS1966-13 ----------Photograph Source: Kirsten Justesen----------This conversation with Tina Jøhnk Christensen occurred on September 26, 2024.----------We invite you to subscribe to Danish Originals for weekly episodes.
