In April 2024, ARKEN will open the first major solo exhibition in Scandinavia featuring Indian-British artist Anish Kapoor (b. 1954), one of the world's leading contemporary artists.

In the new year, ARKEN is opening its doors to a major presentation of sharp, insightful, caring and humorous contemporary art that explores the present and encourages conversations about conflicts and crises, action and healing.

Young artist talents are exhibiting at ARKEN Museum for Contemporary Art in celebration of the Kørner Art Competition 2024.

ARKEN's biggest exhibition in 2023: Bricks — Per Kirkeby, a spectacular presentation of Per Kirkeby's impressive brick sculptures.

Video artworks that can be viewed at ARKEN. Artists in the video programme: Melanie Bonajo, Ingela Ihrman, Peter Land, Hanne Nielsen & Birgit Johnsen, Mika Rottenberg.

The BUTTERFLY! exhibition invites you to experience ARKEN's permanent collection in a new scenography that resembles the scenery for a movie with skateparks, occupied bunkers and nightclubs. The places stand as clear memories from Esben Weile Kjær's childhood and youth. Graffiti-embellished concrete surroundings where hip streetwear was showcased, where underground parties took place and where like-minded people met. The youths' search for identity, freedom and community forms the framework for Weile Kjær's staging and curation.
