The long wait is over. The \u201cLeonard Cohen \u2013 There is a Crack in Everything\u201d exhibition has opened its doors in Copenhagen<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Words & Pics by Chris Karl<\/em><\/p>\n

…, for the first time and so far only confirmed city in Europe. The original MAC Montreal exhibition opened on October 24th<\/sup> and will be on display until April 13th<\/sup>, 2020. Media and VIP guests were invited for a private viewing on October 23rd<\/sup> already. Among the guests were all contributing artist, George Fok, Kara Blake, Ari Folman, Candice Breitz to name just a few of them, as well as John Zeppetelli from the MAC in Montreal and Robert Kory, representing the Cohen estate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Copenhagen basically shows the same installations as New York City did, which one major difference: in Copenhagen the exhibition is split between two venues, the GL Strand Kunstforeningen and the Nikolaj Kunsthal. The venues are a mere 4 minutes walk apart and it is a nice walk, lined with cafes and restaurants and across a square where street musicians play the respective music. <\/span><\/p>\n

New is also that George Fok\u2019s installation \u201cPassing Through\u201d is represented twice. The original size version can be seen \u00a0in the Nikolaj Kunsthal, which how fittingly is an old church which burned down and was never used as a church ever since. After its use as a library it ended up as an art gallery. The GL Strand Kunstforeningen hosts a smaller, more intimate version which is reduced to projections on one wall only. <\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201c18 Old Men singing I\u2019m Your Man\u201d instanallation by Candice Breitz also found its place in the old church. One of the 18 men, Fergus Keyes, came all the way from Montreal to participate in the opening.<\/span><\/p>\n

Das lange Warten hat ein Ende. Die Ausstellung \u201eLeonard Cohen – Es gibt einen Riss in allem\u201c hat in Kopenhagen zum ersten Mal ihre Pforten ge\u00f6ffnet<\/strong><\/p>\n

… und ist bislang f\u00fcr diese Ausstellung die einzige best\u00e4tigte Stadt in Europa. Die Originalausstellung von MAC Montreal wurde am 24. Oktober er\u00f6ffnet und ist bis zum 13. April 2020 zu sehen. Bereits am 23. Oktober waren Medien- und VIP-G\u00e4ste zu einer privaten Besichtigung eingeladen. Unter den G\u00e4sten befanden sich alle beteiligten K\u00fcnstler wie George Fok, Kara Blake, Ari Folman, Candice Breitz, um nur einige zu nennen, sowie John Zeppetelli vom MAC in Montreal und Robert Kory, der ie Fam. Cohen vertrat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Kopenhagen sind im Grunde die gleichen Installationen zu sehen wie in New York City, ein wesentlicher Unterschied: In Kopenhagen ist die Ausstellung auf zwei Veranstaltungsorte aufgeteilt, den GL Strand Kunstforeningen und den Nikolaj Kunsthal. Die Veranstaltungsorte sind nur 4 Minuten zu Fu\u00df entfernt und es ist ein sch\u00f6ner Spaziergang, ges\u00e4umt von Caf\u00e9s und Restaurants und \u00fcber einen Platz, an dem Stra\u00dfenmusiker die jeweilige Musik spielen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Neu ist auch, dass George Foks Installation \u201ePassing Through\u201c zweimal vertreten ist. Die Originalversion ist in der Nikolaj Kunsthal zu sehen. Wie passend ist eine alte Kirche, die niedergebrannt ist und seitdem nie mehr als Kirche genutzt wurde. Nach seiner Nutzung als Bibliothek wurde es zur Kunstgalerie. Der GL Strand Kunstforeningen beherbergt eine kleinere, intimere Version, die auf Projektionen an nur einer Wand reduziert ist.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Die Installation \u201e18 Alte M\u00e4nner singen, ich bin dein Mann\u201c von Candice Breitz fand ebenfalls ihren Platz in der alten Kirche. Einer der 18 M\u00e4nner, Fergus Keyes, kam aus Montreal, um an der Er\u00f6ffnung teilzunehmen.<\/p>\n
