Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen at Museum TID
Step into a compelling world of sculpture, life, and courage in the exhibition about Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen at Museum TID – a pioneer among sculptors in Danish art history.
A groundbreaking sculptor
Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen is not just known as the wife of composer Carl Nielsen – she was one of Denmark’s most prominent sculptors. In the exhibition Shaping Life at Museum TID, she stands out as an artist in her own right. Encounter a trailblazing woman who broke the norms of her time and created monumental works like equestrian statues and cathedral doors – achievements no woman before her had accomplished.
Sculptures with sensual strength
The exhibition presents around 200 works and sketches, showing how Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen merged humans and nature into flowing, organic forms that pulse with life. Her sculptures radiate a sense of presence, strength, and vitality – a testament to an artistic vision that discovered the extraordinary in the everyday. Animals and people appear side by side in a poetic and equal coexistence.
Past meets future
In a fascinating collaboration with artist Jesper Just, Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen’s vitalist world is brought into a contemporary light. Seven film works using light, sound, and infrared technology offer a new experience of sculpture’s power – and its relevance in our digital age. It’s an immersive and thought-provoking experience where the materiality of the past meets the technology of today.
