Last weekend, @copenhagen_contemporary opened its doors to British artist Emma Talbot’s captivating solo exhibition, “Are You a Living Thing That Is Dying, or a Dying Thing That Is Living?”
The exhibition features a stunning array of works, including drawings, large-scale silk tapestries, three-dimensional objects, and animation. It explores powerful themes of rebirth, transformation, sustainability, and human resilience in the face of systemic ecological collapse.
The exhibition is on view now through August 31, 2025. For more details, visit @copenhagen_contemporary.

Help save one of B&W`s first ships from Refshaleøen📢
The first Georg Stage, built in 1882 as a training ship, is one of the only existing ships built in Burmeister & Wain`s early years at Refshaleøen and is a cornerstone of Danish maritime history. This graceful three-masted full-rigger later sailed the world under the name of Joseph Conrad, and now rests as a museum ship in Connecticut.
But its future is uncertain, as it`s now at risk of being scrapped. A dedicated group of maritime actives in Denmark is therefore working to bring this historic vessel back to Copenhagen, where it was built, to restore and preserve its former glory.

One of the inspiring places you can experience stroling around Refshaleøen. ✨
Angels & Angels, a unique association and exhibition venue located by Refshaleøens Tørdocken, debuted as a temporary project in 2019. Created and managed by architecture students from @kglakademi, it serves as a dynamic platform for showcasing architectural models, hosting talks, and organizing events. Designed as a hub for architectural and spatial projects, Angels & Angels encourages dialogue on pressing themes such as climate awareness, social sustainability, and the ever-evolving role of architecture.
