Marta Minujín – Intensity life
Copenhagen Contemporary, Denmark
October 11, 2024 – April 21, 2025

Marta Minujín (b.1943 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an iconic figure and one of the most prominent Latin American pop and conceptual artists ever to have emerged. She created some of art history’s first spectacular total installations, having, over the past sixty years, created happenings, performances, installations, and video works that influenced generations of contemporary artists in Latin America, the USA, and Europe. Marta Minujín is an artist who has not only made an indelible mark on art history but continues to be productive, creating new works across physical and digital media.

As a unique feature, CC recreates Minujín’s gigantic and immersive labyrinth La Menesunda (1965) in partnership with three major art museums. A groundbreaking work in the history of art to be experienced in Europe for the first time.

The exhibition Intensify Life is a unique opportunity to experience Minujín’s oeuvre – from the most recent gigantic installations, soft sculptures, and large-scale collage paintings created in her studio in Buenos Aires to the striking total installations and happenings that earned her a place as a significant member of the 1960s avant-garde.

During her long and influential career, Minujín has always distanced herself from the traditional art institutions, often destroying her own works as part of her happenings. So, the exhibition at CC will be Minujín’s first major presentation in Europe and a milestone in her artistic practice.
