Copenhagen Contemporary

Visited Soft Robots exhibition in late January. Pleasantly surprised by the high level of curatorial work and exhibition design, the architecture and the concept. Copenhagen is lucky to have such generous, spacious venues for large-scale, complex art installations. Such a timely exhibition — it really should travel to other European cities before AI turns humanoids into mechanical biorobots. As understood, the museum is still in a growth phase, it's direction is right. Missed a larger café where visitors could sit after the exhibition, process the experience, and eat. The rear 2A bus stop needs signage — for newcomers it’s not easy to find the CC without visible signs. Highly recommended for all modern art fans.

Definitely a bit off the routes, buts a place to go!!! It is not valued enough in the suggestions for museums. Take the Bus 2A to be closer or just walk, if weather allows. Being here in January was great to walk through an exhibition Soft Robots. After then, take the ferry nearby to reach the other shore and see the Marmorkirken!

A bit of a travel from the city centre but there is a bus that runs frequently so not too bad. Some of the exhibits were interesting and unique and the museum had clearly put effort into the venue. Of course contemporary art is always going to be hit or miss though. The pile of bricks that was one of the main exhibits being one such miss, probably...

It’s definitely worth the visit. I just personally wasn’t as impressed with the selection of works in the main floor because I was privileged enough to have had seen a lot of those pieces in other museums before to know that what was eventually transported to Copenhagen was just a partial piece of the work. But the massive hangar of the museum definitely creates tenor and grandeur for the display of larger and technically complex contemporary pieces. Now, the James Turrell installation at the top was a massive massive wait. I waited one hour just to get in. There are chairs where you can sit, which make the wait better, but it’s a bit un illogical queue shape. I think the museum manages the situation the best way they can considering probably the weird impositions the artist makes on how to visit and see the piece. But I wonder if someone there was a better way to schedule that in slots.

if you can understand contem. art this is the place but for those ordinary people like me, no need to come this far since beside this place there is nothing much to do or eat during the day time.
