The art group A Kassen formed in Copenhagen in 2004. They like to start from given circumstances that already exist in the place where the art is created. A Kassen often uses strategies of sabotage or altering details in public spaces, on buildings or in the functional infrastructure of architecture. Many works are based on repetition, reflection, displacement or change of scale. These discreet but tangible interventions in everyday life can sometimes go unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The viewer plays a crucial role in A Kassen\u2019s artworks, especially in public environments, where encounters with art often happen unplanned. Their choice of materials and method can vary from one artwork to another, depending on the circumstances. At times they create spatial installations or interventions in landscapes, sometimes they work with photography or sculpture. For Skissernas Museum, A Kassen has created a series of portraits in which pixels become mosaics, revealing anonymised faces taken from digital map services. By placing these in an exhibition environment, disjointed parts of the city\u2019s street life are portioned out into the controlled rooms. Together with actual objects from street environments such as lampposts, trash cans and bollards, a fragmented city walk is created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Kassen consists of Christian Bretton-Meyer<\/strong>, Morten Steen Hebsgaard<\/strong>, S\u00f8ren Petersen<\/strong> and Tommy Petersen<\/strong>. This summer’s major exhibition presents the Danish art group A Kassen. They like to take their cue from the circumstances of the place where the art is created and make subtle interventions in everyday life \u2013 through repetition, reflection, displacement or changes in scale. These discreet but tangible interventions in everyday life can sometimes go unnoticed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":13836,"template":"","lagonda_exhibition_cat":[],"lagonda_exhibition_tag":[],"class_list":["post-13038","lagonda_exhibition","type-lagonda_exhibition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"page_gallery":[13858],"exhibition_subtitle":"A Kassen","exhibition_start_date":"2026-06-11 17:00:00","exhibition_end_date":"2026-10-25 00:00:00","exhibition_gallery":[13862,13859,13860,13861]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skissernasmuseum.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lagonda_exhibition\/13038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skissernasmuseum.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lagonda_exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skissernasmuseum.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lagonda_exhibition"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skissernasmuseum.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skissernasmuseum.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13861"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skissernasmuseum.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13860"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skissernasmuseum.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13859"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skissernasmuseum.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13862"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skissernasmuseum.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13858"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skissernasmuseum.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skissernasmuseum.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"lagonda_exhibition_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skissernasmuseum.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lagonda_exhibition_cat?post=13038"},{"taxonomy":"lagonda_exhibition_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skissernasmuseum.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lagonda_exhibition_tag?post=13038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
