Bubbling Baroque – SMK Friday

OUT OF THE DARKNESS

Welcome to a world of drama and drapery, theater and the Thirty Years' War, sensuality and strong emotions! For the first time ever, SMK is presenting a major exhibition on Baroque art, in collaboration with Concerto Copenhagen.

Out of Darkness is a sensory exhibition in which SMK invites you on a journey back to 17th-century Europe. The exhibition brings you close to the artists and music of the Baroque period. Concerto Copenhagen helps set the mood as the story unfolds about a time marked by alchemy, faith and superstition, witch hunts, war, capitalism, and climate challenges.

The exhibition is based on SMK's large collection of European paintings and paper art from the 17th century. A large part of the artworks have been brought out of the museum's storage and retrieved from Danish castles, and can now be experienced for the first time in over 100 years!

SMK sheds new light on an exuberant and turbulent period that may have more similarities with our own time than MON thought! Subdued music from two albums by Concerto Copenhagen – Armonico Tributo and Ich bin die Auferstehung – sets the mood in some of the exhibition rooms.

The transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque period brought about such fundamental changes in Western European music that we are still living with the consequences today. These changes were born of the same new trends and ideas that underpinned painting, where concepts such as rhetoric and pathos were central.

Out of Darkness will be celebrated with an exhibition opening at SMK Friday on May 26, where Concerto Copenhagen will be offering Bubbling Baroque and a concert, among other things!
