Galleri Susanne Ottesen

Galleri Susanne Ottesen is owned and run by Susanne Ottesen. The gallery has existed since 1983. Galleri Susanne Ottesen was founded in 1983 by Susanne Ottesen.

It was one of a small number of pioneering galleries in Denmark to champion a generation of local and international artists who were transforming the way art was thought, made and presented. Over the past thirty years Galleri Susanne Ottesen has built on this foundation, identifying and supporting succeeding generations of artists, each with a radical and distinctive approach to the possibilites of art.

From the archives: press clips from Maria Eichhorn’s 1995 show in the gallery�

“What is interesting about Eichhorn’s exhibition is that it is the opposite of an institutional installation of artworks; rather, it is a staging of the works within a new and different context, which entails a re-writing of the works’ history of effect. […] Cage, Maciunas, and Brecht are given new clothes: new meanings have been added, old meanings peeled away. […] Fluxus art has rarely looked so cool and precise as in Eichhorn’s well-functioning installation.”��
- Andreas Brøgger, "Fluxus som readymade", Dagbladet Information, 14 March 1995 (Translated from Danish)

�“By transplanting experiments from the 1960s and 70s into the 1990s, she refutes the notion that the ‘avant-garde’ work emerges from a zero point like a newborn without a family tree.”�
- Anne Ring Petersen, "Fluxus som genbrug" in Berlingske Tidende, Saturday 18 March 1995. (Translated from Danish)

��You can experience Maria Eichhorn’s recreation of her 1995 show until 14 March 2026.

On view: Maria Eichhorn's solo exhibition '(Re)visit' - a recreation of her 1995 solo show in the gallery.

Join us for 'Speakers' Corner' this Saturday from 14.00-17.00, where Maria Eichhorn will be present, and a text of hers will be performed as a part of the program.

Pictured here, her staging of John Cage's 1969 work, '33 1/3'. The work provides the audience with 100 long-playing records (played at 33 1/3 rpm) from as many different musical genres as possible, along with 10 record players. The record labels is covered with blank stickers and therefore identical for selection. Visitors can place records without being able to choose from them. In Eichhorn's arrangement, the record players themselves functions like a record, the table like a record player, the tabletop the turntable, and the column as the central axis (of the turntable).

🗞🗞🗞

‘(Re)visit’ enacts in its entirety Maria Eichhorn’s 1995 exhibition at Galleri Susanne Ottesen, repeating her precise staging of three works by central figures of the Fluxus movement: Chair Events, 1969, by George Brecht; 33 1/3, 1969, by John Cage; and Flux Ping-Pong, 1969, by George Maciunas.

Eichhorn’s exhibition poses fundamental questions about artistic authorship, audience participation, and the gallery as an active framework through which art is made and experienced. By recreating works from the René Block Collection, Eichhorn also addresses questions of public display and censorship, raised following the collection's inaugural presentation at Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen (1992).

Revisiting her conceptual methodology, three contemporary artists will activate the exhibition from Saturday 21 February through its close on 7 March. The prorgamme will be accompanied by a day of short talks by artists and industry figures, which collectively asks, “What do galleries mean to you?”. The Speakers’ Corner will take place on Saturday 21 February, with details to follow.
