ABOUT EXHIBITIONS
Organised by DGI Byen, the exhibition Copenhagen by Bike is a collective story about Copenhagen as a city of bicycles - created by the citizens themselves based on their personal photographs and cycling stories. The open-air exhibition will show the city from the perspective of those who give it its daily rhythm.
The exhibition Rise of the Sunken Sun by Inuuteq Storch at Fotografisk Center is a moving story about Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), shown through the eyes of an artist who was both the first artist from the North Atlantic part of the Danish Kingdom and the first photographer to have a solo exhibition in the Danish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Through six photographic series, Storch weaves together personal memories, family archives, and historical images to reclaim a voice in the narrative of his homeland and give it a new, multidimensional dimension.
In the series Heroin, photographer Marcus Trappaud Bjørn captures a quiet, partisan moment just after taking a drug. The series presented in the exhibition at Prospekt reveals a situation and a moment that is often overdramatised and associated with overdoses, insanity, and diseases like hepatitis and HIV, but which for users, in most cases, is an undramatic situation and a moment of calm, where they take their drug and feel back on top.
Morten Aagaard Krogh's exhibition Out of the Darkness shows mysterious life forms suspended in blackness, balancing between the familiar and the alien. Thanks to a precise photographic technique, the photographs combine scientific detail with an oneiric atmosphere, inviting an attentive, almost meditative gaze to be visually savoured at Vogelkop.
Newsroom in the Galleri 1,4 m3 is a collective project initiated by Sarah Lubich that unfolds over the course of the exhibition. The artists send their work by post - following in the tradition of Mail Art - creating a dynamic reflection on the contemporary flow of information and the experience of media reality.

OPENING · Copenhagen by Bike · Group Exhibition
DGI Byen looks forward to welcoming everyone to the opening reception of Copenhagen by Bike on 20 June at 15:30 at Kvægtorvet in Vesterbro. Together we will celebrate the opening of the exhibition and announce the winners of the photo competition.
At DGI Byen, we create health and quality of life for the people of Copenhagen. We do this by offering a free exhibition at Kvægtorvet focusing on Copenhagen, movement, and health.
We wish to showcase the people of Copenhagen’s own photos and the moments they associate with – and love about – cycling. Copenhageners’ version of Copenhagen as a cycling city.
The exhibition ties into one of the city’s major sporting events, Copenhagen Sprint, as well as the upcoming Cycling Summit hosted by the City of Copenhagen, and highlights one of the city’s most unique characteristics: that we cycle!
Guests are welcome from 15.30
