The Museum of Contemporary Art Roskilde presents art with the festival as it’s stage
Since 2016, the museum has contributed an independent exhibition to the festival’s art program to be experienced alongside the music. In 2022, we showed Marie Munk’s Placenta, a giant inflatable sculpture pulsating in the middle of the festival grounds. In 2023, we took over the screens at Orange Stage and Arena with Public Announcements, an exhibition of brand new works by four artists: the duo of Esben Weile Kjær & Maja Malou Lyse, the performance artist Filip Vest and two international names, Apparatus 22 and Driton Selmani.
In 2024, the museum presented the performance Delivery by the Swedish artist Axel Berger. The year after, as part of the museum’s Fall exhibition Karoline’s Verses, Lise Haller Baggesens performance Lille solstråle sad og så på månen (Little Sunbeam sat Watching the Moon) was presented at the beautiful stage, Platform. The performance and choir piece was presented by the choir BARK, led by Lasse Aagaard with lyrics from Karoline Ebbesens poetry and music composed by Anders Lauge Meldgaard.
