Opening of the special exhibition Jytte Rex: Dreams and furious laughter
Join us as we open the special exhibition Jytte Rex: Dreams and furious laughter. Enjoy a glass of sparkling wine, meet the artist and curator, and view the exhibition with free admission.
Danish Royal Library presents the exhibition Dreams and furious laughter with visual artist, filmmaker and author Jytte Rex in The Black Diamond from March 20 to August 9, 2026.
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.
Jytte Rex’s art emerged from the feminist avant-garde movements of the 1960s and 1970s, which critically examined the social conditions experienced by women at the time. In Rex’s work, rebellion takes on an artistic and poetic form, making room for both sensuous dreams and furious laughter.
Moving freely across media and artistic disciplines, Jytte Rex presents photographic works alongside a selection of films, artists’ books, sculptures and radio montages created from the 1960s to the present day.
