Martin Aagaard Hansen | Two O'Clock Spell: Rantzausgade 9, 2200 København N

26 April - 25 May 2024

Overview

OTP Copenhagen is excited to announce ‘Two O’Clock Spell,’ a solo exhibition by Martin Aagaard Hansen, curated by Astrid Wang. Featuring a series of new gouache paintings that explore Aagaard Hansen’s surreal undercurrent, the exhibition marks the artist’s debut presentation with the gallery.

"The title Two O’Clock Spell refers to a time of day, which the artist describes as a kind of “nowhere”– too early to leave work, yet too late for anything to begin. A dilated stretch of nothing, endlessly long yet maddeningly brief. In these works, time feels similarly disjointed and surreal – the time of the stories told, and the time of our reception of them." — Astrid Wang
