Lene Adler Petersen (f. 1944) blev kendt som den nøgne kvinde, der gik gennem Børsen med et kors, og som en af hjernerne bag ceremonien for en hest, der skulle aflives. Hun har brudt igennem lydmuren og er en del af både kunsthistorien og Danmarks illustrerede historie. Hendes værker reflekterer 60’ernes og 70’ernes kapitalismekritik, kvindekamp og rettighedsaktivisme. Lene Adler Petersen er ikke til at fastholde.

Hun mestrer den abstrakte kunsts formalisme, samtidig med at hun bruger den til mere end blot kunst for kunstens skyld, som set i hendes offentlige udsmykninger, hvor hun engagerer sig dybt i stedet og dets brugere.

Produceret i samarbejde med Ny Carlsbergfondet.

Lene Adler Petersen (b. 1944) became known as the naked woman who walked through the Copenhagen Stock Exchange with a cross, and as one of the masterminds behind the ceremony for a horse that was to be euthanized. She has broken through the sound barrier and is part of both art history and Denmark’s illustrated history. Her works reflect the capitalism critique, feminism, and rights activism of the 60s and 70s. Lene Adler Petersen cannot be pinned down.

She masters the formalism of abstract art while using it for more than just art for art’s sake, as seen in her public installations, where she engages deeply with the space and its users.
