In 2025, Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling celebrates its 125th anniversary at Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art in Copenhagen. Since 1900, KE has been an open, juried exhibition, giving artists of all ages, backgrounds, and nationalities the opportunity to present their work. Organized by artists for artists, KE has always served as a vital platform for experimental contemporary art and a meeting ground for exchange of ideas and practices.
The anniversary exhibition reaffirms KE’s foundation in artistic community. This year’s jury consists of five artists who, alongside their own practices, are actively engaged in artist-run spaces: Charlotte Thrane, Heidi Hove, Markus von Platen, Torben Ribe, and Mads Borre.
Artist-run initiatives create free spaces for artistic expression, critical dialogue, and collective action. They provide opportunities for new voices, foster interdisciplinary experimentation, and challenge institutional boundaries. By highlighting their role, KE underscores a tradition where artists support one another – not as an alternative to the professional art world, but as an integral part of it.
