Press release, June 2023

Ombrella invites you to join us for our fourth exhibition ‘Act IV - The Balcony’ hosted by the historical Riises Landsted, Frederiksberg. We have invited: Joakim Drescher (DK), Julia Adelgren (SE), Ida Schrader (DK), Leon Bloch (FR), Axel Linderholm (SE/NL), Sophus Ejler Jepsen (DK), David Noro (DK) & Gustav Wideberg (SE).

For our fourth ‘Act’, we have invited a group of artists that we think work in both large and diverse fields but share common cores of attitude. The exhibition has borrowed it's title from the play of the same name ‘The Balcony’ by Jean Genet, hoping to reflect the scenario in a loose manner, thinking of the outside by reenacting through the artist's practices and considerations of different moods of ‘society’ as an open poetic vision. ‘The Balcony’ sets the scene to re-investigate roles of participation in society, at Riises Landsted we invite you to engage yourself in the experience of alternately gazing back at society.


Opening: Wednesday, 21 of June, from 16-20.30.
Exhibition period: 21-25th of June, 2023.
Opening hours: Thursday - Saturday, 12-18. Sunday, 11-13.

Ombrella is an artist-run, wandering exhibition platform for contemporary art, meaning that we will be changing location from exhibition to exhibition. We are dedicated to hosting and connecting international and local artists from all fields of the arts, though we do have a soft spot for painting. Ombrella is a manifestation unfolding over time. Each exhibition is to be conceived as an act and the location may differ.
