TALK · Resonans med Kunst på Arbejde · Tanya Lindkvist in conversation with artists Ninna Bohn Pedersen & Lars Engelgaar
Join us for an inspiring conversation about the resonance of art with Tanya Lindkvist, director of KPA (kunst på arbejde) and artists Ninna Bohn Pedersen and Lars Engelgaar, who are exhibiting new works in the exhibition ‘layers between’ during Copenhagen Photo Festival.
In an ever-accelerating world, they will talk about the pace of the current time and art’s ability to resonate and create a sense of connection. Something, which is highly relevant and seems to be needed at the moment.
The conversation takes its starting point in the exhibition ‘layers between’, where the two artists are presenting new experimental photographic works. They investigate, amongst other things, how reality is created and experienced through multiple layers, materials and techniques. In the works, you can experience some of the connections between us and the world - the visible, the hidden and what lies in between.
After the conversation, we will invite you to an aperitivo and give guests an opportunity to have informal conversations or simply wander through the exhibition space.
NB The event will be in Danish. Seating available for the first arrivals.
The exhibition can be experienced from June 11 to August 20, 2025.

EXHIBITION · layers between · Lars Engelgaar & Ninna Bohn Pedersen
layers between presents new photographic works by Lars Engelgaar and Ninna Bohn Pedersen. The exhibition juxtaposes Engelgaar's experimental photographs with Bohn Pedersen's spatial collages on acrylic. Using varying technologies and materials, the exhibition focuses on the production of reality and our interconnectedness within the world.
Bohn Pedersen and Engelgaar's works utilise a comparable visual language of images and layers, but with very different approaches to the medium of photography. Both artists work with immediate registrations of reality, transforming and manipulating it through the lens or in the interplay of the layered compositions.
They operate within an experimental laboratory setting towards new insights to create works that illuminate the monumental in the minutiae. These are attempts to concretise that which often lies between the lines, that which both separates and connects us at the same time: Sensations, dissolved forms and figures - the recognisable becomes strange and transformed.
For the exhibition, Engelgaar works digitally with in-camera techniques, using multiple exposures in an exploratory approach, where technique and control are reduced to intuitive and immediate captures. Motifs and objects from the surrounding environment are gathered, and through multiple exposures, motifs emerge that are both familiar and at the same time hard to understand, as something that doesn’t quite match up.
With a focus on minimal resource impact, methods such as plant-based development processes and organic print materials are applied.
Bohn Pedersen works with UV-print on acrylic. Photographs from the artist's everyday life and proximity, arranged in physical collages that aim to reveal the bonds that connect us and the ease with which existence emerges and dissolves over time. These are the quiet truths of fleeting moments.
layers between reflects on the process of artistic creation and the world and reality that art is a part of and arises in. The exhibition focuses on the interplay between the works and the connections that are created fleetingly in the moment - inside the works, between the works and in the people who see them.
The exhibition is generously supported by Knud Højgaards Fond.
Exhibition opening on 11/06, 16:00-19:00.

About the BLUE CANVAS Projects:
We are a group of art lovers, collectors, and artists who have founded BLUE CANVAS Projects for curating exhibitions in temporary spaces. Many commercial spaces remain vacant between leases. Our goal is to create a network of property owners willing to offer these spaces to artists from Denmark and beyond.
BLUE CANVAS Projects connects unused spaces with artists—bringing art to a wider audience and fostering the next generation of collectors. Our mission is to make art accessible to everyone and to give artists a new platform to share their work.
