From place to presence
Digital media breaking boundaries between inside, outside and virtual spaces.
One of the most striking features of digital media in museums today is their potential for linking and integrating resources, spaces and users in an abundance of ways. Museums can share content and gain exposure as well as work across online and onsite, users can contribute to knowledge production and choose between different exhibition platforms, and experiences and knowledge can be mediated through a variety of channels.
Erik Hagens: Everyday Life – Presented in Paintings from the 1960s till Today

Workers' Museum, Copenhagen, Denmark
Temporary exhibition April
24th – August 15th 2010
Since the 1960s, Erik Hagens has consistently, and with great social engagement, drawn and painted pictures of today’s people, living in a world characterized by pollution, consumerism and a constant bombardment by the mass media.
Because Erik Hagens holds a position all his own in the world of Danish art, and because there has been no major, comprehensive presentation of his work since 1994, The Workers' Museum has decided to let his 70th birthday on the 21st of April, 2010, serve as the occasion for a retrospective exhibition.
Erik Hagens’ pictures invite comparison with the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen. They tell a good story, while at the same time uncovering several underlying layers and taking a sharp, critical look at the reality being illustrated. His art is thus both thought-provoking and a sight for sore eyes, often approaching a propagandistic social criticism.
