Jytte Rex: My Tender Wife
Past exhibition
About
In the solo exhibition “My Tender Wife”, we show a selection of Jytte Rex’s photo prints on aluminum plates. The works are reminiscent of internal images on the retina - images that almost rub off on each other and dissolve like distant memories. They are composed like a collage, some gentle and others hard and straight forward. The themes of the works revolve around feminine desire, currents, dreams and myths, and everything women talk about.
Jytte Rex (b. 1942) is a Danish visual artist and film director. Rex has a unique position in Danish film, literature, and art history. Her works are avant-garde and poetic with stories often carried by a feminist commitment. In 1998, Rex was awarded the Eckersbergs Medal and the same year the Danish Arts Foundation’s lifetime honor. She received the Skovgaard Medal in 2004 and the Thorvaldsen Medal in 2005. Her works are represented in the collections of the SMK - The National Gallery of Denmark, Aros, KUNSTEN, Ny Carlsbergfondet, Vejle Art Museum, Art Museum Brandts, the National Photography Museum, etc.
