Das Beckwerk &
Funus Imaginarium
30.09 2010 - 17.01 2011
Images from the Death of the Identity and the State
Citizen
30th September – 9th October Das Beckwerk takes leave of identity
and citizenship
With antecedents in the classical Roman ritual Funus Imaginarium,
a deathbed will be set up in a special building on Dantes Plads
outside the Glyptotek.
For seven days Claus Beck-Nielsen will lie in effigy on his
deathbed watched over by doctors and nurses.
Visiting hours will be from 11.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. daily.
On Saturday 9th at 11.00 October a cortege will wend its way
through the city to Assistens Kirkegård Cemetery where the burial
will take place.
Concurrently with the deathbed, and for the subsequent 100 days of
mourning, the Glyptotek will tell the story of Das Beckwerk’s work
with identity over the last ten years.
Among the things one can experience is live-streaming from the
events, a short film with the French artist Sophie Calle and the
head of Das Beckwerk, as well as documents and images of life after
the death of identity.

Salammbô: The Serpent Woman and the Glyptotek
28.10 2010 - 13.2 2011
Eva Koch (born 1953) has created a unique work in four parts for
the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek.
“Salammbô” 3D-animates the museum’s sculpture and adds sound to an
exploration of dream, gender and history – from mythical Danish
queens by way of the monumental figures of the Rodin collection to
the Serpent Woman Salammbô.
Eva Koch is one of today’s most distinctive sound and video
artists.
Cleopatra’s World
29.4.2011 - 7.8.2011
Cleopatra was at the centre of events when love, international
politics and power struggles changed the order of the world. A new
exhibition at the Glyptotek focuses on Egypt in the time of
Cleopatra, when Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all left their mark on
life and death.
