Join us for Free Lunch on Wednesday 18 March, when visual artist Christine Dahlerup discusses her practice in conversation with curator Paola Paleari and visual artist Henriette Heise!
With Christine’s artistic practice as a starting point, the conversation will explore art as an anawareness-device. It will address working in the interplay of light and darkness, and that moment, when physical reality coexists with effect — and when the surface of the thing still is the thing even though it's broken.

ABOUT CHRISTINE DAHLERUP
Christine Dahlerup (b. 1997, DK), lives and works in Copenhagen and Vienna. In her work with sculpture, photography and installation Dahlerup tests the ‘weightiness’ of artistic authorship and examines the properties of image and vision, exploring how mediated reality intersects with subjective experience. Dahlerup obtained an MFA from the class of Simon Dybbroe Møller at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2024 and studied with professor Nora Schultz at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. In recent years she has exhibited in Copenhagen, Vienna, Vilnius, Karlsruhe, Hamburg and Offenbach am Main and was in fall 2025 granted the Art Hub residency in Copenhagen.
ABOUT PAOLA PALEARI
Paola Paleari holds a Master’s degree in Design from Politecnico di Milano, followed by a Masterclass in Contemporary Photography at CSF Ansel Adams and a Masterclass in Cultural Heritage & Services Management at Il Sole24Ore Business School. In 2019, she was among Politikens Kunstkritikerskole’s selected participants. Paleari is concerned with the intersection between critical and creative writing and often interweave art criticism with other forms of storytelling. She believes that curating is a practice that goes beyond making exhibitions and creates new creative methods to generate, convey and reflect knowledge in a transdisciplinary and transcultural context.
ABOUT HENRIETTE HEISE
Henriette Heise is a visual artist based in Copenhagen. Heise has co-founded and run several collaborative projects: The Info Centre in London, The Copenhagen Free University, the local TV-station tv-tv and most recently The Studio Whisperer’s Office. Heise combines collaborative work with a more introverted studio-based practice: While working through different materials and media, including text, Heise’s artistic work is a continuous investigation of what is considered overlooked and claimed as unmonumental. In recent years Heise has been researching late work by artists who found a way to continue in spite of – or perhaps because of – crisis and resistance.
