18.01.2024 – 24.11.2024 | Trapholt – Museum of Modern Art, Craft and Design

In January 2024, Trapholt presents the solo exhibition Shaping a Pattern, where the Danish artist Maria Torp explores the potential of portraiture as an activist and enlightening format. The exhibition will be a sensual and enlightening journey through five years of work, featuring 12 portraits of influential individuals, interviews, films, and Torp’s extensive research material. The exhibition will be held from January 18th to November 24th, 2024.

“Shaping A Pattern” is an ambitious art project that focuses on issues related to the rights, social status, and living conditions of girls and women on a global scale. The project was developed by the Danish visual artist Maria Torp and aims to create positive and powerful narratives about complex and problematic subjects. Maria Torp possesses a special ability to shape complexity in art that both touches and affects us, reminding us that in the global world, we are closely connected across national borders and cultural differences.
