Guided tour: Jytte Rex: Dreams and furious laughter
Join curator Maja Gro Gundersen for an introduction to the exhibition Jytte Rex: Dreams and furious laughter.
Through more than 70 works spanning six decades, the retrospective exhibition Jytte Rex: Dreams and furious laughter explores the relationship between sensuality, the mysterious mutability of the world and the inner life of human beings.
During the tour, curator Maja Gro Gundersen will speak about Jytte Rex’s significance as an artist and her artistic process. There will also be plenty of time to take a closer look at works such as the legendary Kvindernes bog from 1972.
Jytte Rex's art grew out of the feminist avant-garde art of the 1960s and 1970s, which looked critically at the social conditions that women experienced in their time. In Jytte Rex's work, rebellion takes an artistic and poetic form, with room for sensual dreams as well as furious laughter.
Working across media and artistic disciplines, Jytte Rex combines photography with film, artists’ books, sculptures and radio montages. The exhibition presents works created from the 1960s to the present day.
