From Frederiksberg outside of Copenhagen, Funen-born Danish artist KIRSTEN JUSTESEN talks about the iconic 1970 exhibition Damebilleder (Women's Images) and about her year-long residence in New York in 2006 with the support of the Danish Arts Foundation. Trained in classical sculpture, Kirsten describes her use of her own body in her art and about the female gaze, and shares her mixed feelings towards being called a pioneer in the feminist art movement.
Kirsten selects a work by Melchoir Lorck from the SMK collection.
