\n

The <\/span>Someday is now <\/em>exhibition.<\/span> Danh Vo presents Sister Corita<\/em> follows up on the previous years\u2019 collaborations with Danh Vo, who presents significant favorite artists from his own collection at the museum. At the exhibition, you can experience Corita\u2019s most important works from the 1960s, which is her most innovative and productive period. There will be displayed works owned by Vo and works borrowed from other private collectors at the Nivaagaard Collection where Sister Corita\u2019s works will be put in display in a dialogue with the museum\u2019s own works.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

SISTER CORITA \u2013 NUN, TEACHER, ACTIVIST AND ARTIST<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

Sister Corita (1918-86) was a Catholic nun and a charismatic teacher with a progressive approach to teaching and creation. From 1936-68, she was part of a Catholic order in Los Angeles where she worked as a teacher and became very famous for her teaching methods. She also became an influential pop artist in 1960s America, but she has since slipped out of the story of pop art.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Sister Corita was known and loved for her silkscreen prints throughout the 1950s where she won numerous awards and honours. In 1962, she saw the pop artist Andy Warhol\u2019s exhibition of the soup cans that would later become very famous. The radical aesthetization of things from everyday life made her take a clearer step towards pop art. In that same year, the Vatican issued a decree on \u201cadaptation and renewal of religious life\u201d which ushers in a movement towards a more modern life for nuns and this also has a fundamental impact on Corita and her order and their approach towards and engagement with society.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In her works, she often took her cue rom contemporary advertisements and the visual boom that Los Angeles went through in these years. She played with words and meanings and combined commercial slogans with poetry, biblical texts, philosophy or messages about peace and social justice. She united her curiosity about modernity with her spiritual relationship with God, her social engagement and her belief in the power of art. She lived during a period characterised by significant political unrest in the United States and as a person and artist, she was preoccupied with fighting against poverty, racism and war. She was an activist, but her approach was always based on a hopeful and joyous belief in change and humour and subtlety were a big part of her oeuvre.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Sister Corita believed that all of us possess a great inner creativity that can be nurtured by observing the world with both our eyes and our heart: Cardboard boxes, newspaper headlines, supermarkets and a crack in the pavement can be observed and used in a creative process. Her method involved observation and serious play, and serigraphic prints were here preferred medium as its reproducibility was in line with her democratic ideals.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Her friends include Ray and Charles Eames, Alfred Hitchcock, Henry Miller and John Cage and she worked collaboratively with her students and those around her until she left the order in 1968 and moved to Boston. She continued working as an artist, now making painting watercolours with a somewhat different expression. In 1971, she was tasked with decorating a gigantic gas container for Boston Gas Company, which has been a landmark of the city. In 1983, she made the LOVE stamp for the U.S. Postal Service which represented her version of a rainbow and sold over 700 million copies. When she died in 1986, she had made over 800 prints, thousands of watercolours and countless public and private commissioned works.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition is supported by Det Obelske Familiefond.<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Glemt kunstner\u00adnonne er ved at f\u00e5 sit andet gennembrud p\u00e5 verdens museer<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHun bliver kaldt den glemte popkunstner, men nonnen Corita Kent havde en helt anden plan end at blive rig og ber\u00f8mt. Nivaagaard-udstillingen \u201cSomeday Is Now\u201d s\u00e6tter fokus p\u00e5 hendes legesyge kunst og farverige liv.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Politikens reportage 5. juli <\/em><\/p>\n

Hun kaldte Jomfru Marie for den saftigste tomat af alle<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cBag udstillingen st\u00e5r Danh Vo, en af Danmarks internationalt mest anerkendte samtidskunstnere. Han pr\u00e6senterer her v\u00e6rker fra det mest produktive \u00e5rti i Corita Kents karriere, 1960\u2019erne. Midt i borgerrettighedsbev\u00e6gelsens storhedstid og under protesterne mod krigen i Vietnam blev hun den katolske kirkes taler\u00f8r. Et taler\u00f8r, der kunne placere religi\u00f8s kunst i midten af tidens store sociale opbrud.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bbCorita Kent var katolsk nonne og lykkedes alligevel med at markere sig som en kunstner i popart-bev\u00e6gelsen, hvor hun var s\u00e6rlig, fordi hun blandede budskaber om for eksempel fattigdom og Vietnam-krigen med sit religi\u00f8se udgangspunkt\u00ab, siger Danh Vo. \u00bbFor mig g\u00f8r det netop hende til et st\u00e6rkt eksempel p\u00e5, hvor langt man kan komme, n\u00e5r bare man arbejder til det yderste af de begr\u00e6nsninger, man lever under\u00ab.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Her over for de gamle ren\u00e6ssancev\u00e6rker kan han understrege, hvilket nybrud nonnen fra Los Angeles udgjorde med sit bidrag til popart-bev\u00e6gelsen. Og hvordan hendes brug af alt fra reklameslogans til taler og digte stadig i dag kan l\u00e6re os, hvordan man g\u00f8r ord til sine egne.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kvinden der aldrig blinkede<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cKunstneren Danh Vos ops\u00e6tning af Sister Coritas v\u00e6rker p\u00e5 Nivaagaard giver et forrygende indblik i hendes helt s\u00e6regne billedsprog.\u201d (\u2026) \u201cHistorien om Sister Corita er n\u00e6sten for god til at v\u00e6re sand. Det er en af de udstillinger, man helst vil se helt alene, for det er voldsomt at erkende, n\u00e5r noget s\u00e5 godt har eksisteret i verden, uden at man har g\u00e5et rundt og haft viden om det.\u201d (\u2026) \u201cCorita var en kvinde, hun var tilmed nonne, og selvom hendes v\u00e6rker og aktivisme blev hyldet, og hun var en del af den katolske reformations image, var p\u00e5 forsiden af det gigantiske magasin Newsweek og lavede over 800 tryk, mens hun levede, var hendes succes anderledes end m\u00e6ndenes. M\u00e5ske fordi hun brugte s\u00e5 meget tid p\u00e5 at dele sig selv med s\u00e5 mange igennem sin undervisning.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
