2112
Copenhagen
2112 is a Copenhagen based hybrid gallery embracing art advisory, artist representation, international collaborations, owned by art historian Caroline Bøge.
The gallery started as 2112 Art Advisory in 2016 and some years later the business grew into including artist representation with a focus on female artists. The move to the current location in the heart of Copenhagen in 2023, marked a new phase for the 2112 as a hybrid gallery with a continued embrace of advisory, artist representation, international collaborations and much more.
Featured artists
Gun Gordillo
2112 will present a curated solo presentation with new and older works by Gun Gordillo (1945, Lund, SE. Lives and works in Copenhagen, DK)
Since the 1970s, Gordillo has been a pioneer in her field, utilizing neon as her primary medium. Her artistic practice involves a continuous exploration of her chosen materials. Gordillo frequently engages neon lights in dialogue with lead, steel, brass, wood, acrylic glass and paint, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. With an uncompromising approach to both art and life, Gordillo's works serve as a testament to the sublimely beautiful, the poetic and the rebellious.
For many years, Gun Gordillo was represented by the renowned gallery Denise René and resided in Paris for over two decades. Notable exhibitions include Cisternerne (Frederiksberg), Århus Kunstbygning, Lunds Konsthall, Galerie Beyeler (Basel), Musée Matisse (Le Cateau-Cambrésis), Tsukuba Museum of Art (Ibaraki), among others. Gordillo has crafted various site-specific works, including installations at locations such as the Slussen bus terminal (Stockholm), CBS (København), Arlanda Lufthavn (Stockholm), HK-bygningen (København), Jacob Burckhardt Haus (Basel), Quay of Hammarby (Stockholm), and Via College (Århus). In 2023, her monumental neon installation on the ceiling of the metro station Hötorget in Stockholm underwent a complete renovation and has now been declared worthy of cultural-historical preservation.
