June Art Fair, Basel. Henrik Plenge Jakobsen, Asta Lynge, Sara Sjölin. June 10 - June 16, 2024

For June Art Fair 2024, Lagune Ouest presented works by Henrik Plenge Jakobsen, Asta Lynge and Sara Sjölin. Two wall hung sculptures by Lynge, a flight case containing 3 objects by Plenge Jakobsen and a video by Sjölin. 

Sara Sjölin’s main practice revolves around film, speech, performance and installation. In her work, she explores comedy rooted in tragedy, where feelings of anxiety or discomfort can through art be transformed into moments of affection and laughter.

Sara Sjölin holds an MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (2018). Past exhibitions include: SALTS (Basel), New Jörg (Vienna), Lagune Ouest (Copenhagen), Konstnärshuset (Stockholm), Kunsthaus Zürich (Zürich), Bikubenfonden (Copenhagen), Loggia (Munich), Galleri Susanne Ottesen (Copenhagen), Hamlet (Zürich), Celsius Projects (Malmö), Lille Vega (Copenhagen), CPH:DOX film festival (Copenhagen), Copenhagen Contemporary (Copenhagen), Sydhavnsambassaden no. 5 & 6 (Copenhagen), Skjold Contemporary (Copenhagen), Kunsthal Aarhus (Aarhus). Sjölin is the recipient of Niels Wessel Bagges Art Foundation prize (2022) and Anne Marie Carl Nielsen’s talent prize (2024).

Asta Lynge works associatively across materials and processes. She is interested in the notion of progress and its inherent affiliation with technology. 

Asta Lynge (DK, 1988) holds a BFA from Central Saints Martins (2012) and was part of the first iteration of the CSM Associate Studio Programme (2013-16). Past exhibitions include: Overgaden (Copenhagen), Francis Irv (New York), Braunsfelder (Cologne), Giorno Poetry Systems (New York), Kunsthal Charlottenborg (Copenhagen), Cherry Hill (Cologne), HEART Museum of Contemporary Art (Herning), Fuglsang Kunstmuseum (Fuglsang), Lagune Ouest (Copenhagen), Le Bourgeois (London), Cittipunkt (Berlin), Cucina (Copenhagen), BIZARRO (Copenhagen) and dépendance (Brussels). Lynge is the recipient of Anne Marie Carl Nielsen’s talent prize (2022).

Henrik Plenge Jakobsen's artistic work is based on conceptual sculpture, installation, performance and art in public space. He works with universal themes in economics, history and politics as well as basic existential phenomena such as anxiety, alienation and coexistence.

Henrik Plenge Jakobsen (DK, 1967) is educated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Institute des Hautes Etudes en Art Plastique and Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts, Paris (1994). Past exhibitions include: Arken Museum of Contemporary Art (Ishøj), Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen (Düsseldorf), Kunsthal Charlottenborg (Copenhagen), South London Gallery (London), SMK - The National Gallery of Denmark (Copenhagen), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Taipei Biennial (Taiwan), FRAC - Ile de France (Paris), Portikus (Frankfurt am Main), and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Humlebæk). Plenge Jakobsen is the recipient of the Eckersberg Medal (2015).
