Henrik Vibskov: The Exhibition
Immersive major show on designer Henrik Vibskov's playful process: installation models, 44 cases of studio objects and prototypes, and walk-through installations.
More in Copenhagen
You walk into a room where dozens of long black fabric necks hang from the ceiling, each ending in a red-and-white bird's head, some at face height. That's The Stiff Neck Chamber, one of the walk-through installations in Henrik Vibskov's largest solo show to date.
It spans 25 years of fashion, costume, stage sets and installations: clothes from his 2001 Central Saint Martins graduation collection, 44 cases of prototypes and studio objects, and pieces never shown before. You can add to one of the works yourself. Mig og Kbh liked that the flops are shown, with humour, next to the hits. Out in the garden, the nearly nine-metre Umbrico Spiral turns in the wind, and a Copenhagen winter will keep it busy until February.
Mig og Kbh recommends it for all ages, with kids spotting funny details everywhere. It's included in the museum ticket (DKK 140, free under 18 and with the Copenhagen Card). The museum says Thursday afternoons are quieter, when it's open until 20:00.
