We are pleased to announce the 23rd edition of Artist of the Day, a valuable platform for artists since 1983. This two week exhibition showcases the work of ten artists, chosen not by the gallery, but by established professional practitioners who have each nominated a talent of their choice.

Our ninth Artist of the Day is Lotte Nielsen selected by Jane and Louise Wilson, who will exhibit a one-day solo show on Thursday 30th June, 11am - 7pm.

“Lotte has a deep interest in states of consciousness and phenomenological associations with specific locations. Her recent work depicts the deserted interior of an abandoned cinema, Stenløse Bio, on the outskirts of Copenhagen. The building is now dilapidated, run-down and covered in graffiti. No one has been allowed to enter the cinema in the last four years, aside from teenagers who enter illegally. Six months ago Lotte was allowed inside the cinema, to document and record it. This has culminated in her mesmerizing film YAOI which collages atmospheric footage and sound together, giving a sense of the young teenager’s emotional life in the context of the cinema’s character. YAOI is an encounter with the ruin and its image, highlighting the act of recording through the camera, the still and moving image.” Wilson Twins

“In my practice I often explore how an abandoned place becomes less significant over time, and how the remote memories of the space can create an atmosphere. Furthermore, my work is expanding my understanding of how an abandoned place can trigger feelings of loss, melancholy, or even encourage violent behavior.” Nielsen
