Works of art by leading contemporary artists have moved into the Danish Cultural Institute’s offices in central Copenhagen. The art infusion includes two human-size parrots that invite employees and visitors to reconsider the social situation in the meeting room.

Cannibalism, mounds of entrails and little homunculi kicking at torn-off heads. Christian Lemmerz’s monumental judgment-day vision Dante’s Dream is not for the faint of heart. The artist’s principal work, which comprises 18 large drawings, was recently acquired by Randers Museum of Art thanks to grants from the New Carlsberg Foundation and other donors.

A bronze hourglass weighing more than a ton and standing five metres tall now stands on the square in front the Western High Court in the city of Viborg. The huge sculpture was created by the visual artist Mogens Møller based on a donation from the New Carlsberg Foundation.

Danish contemporary art comes to Paris with the exhibition Meanwhile in Denmark. The exhibition is presented by Maison du Danemark and accompanied by a catalogue funded by the New Carlsberg Foundation.
