Copenhagen Contemporary presents: Soft Robots
An exhibition that challenges the boundaries between nature and technology.

This evening, admission to CC is free. The exhibition will be open until 21:00, and from 20:00 we open the doors to one of CC’s iconic signature parties: CC Afterparty. Admission to the afterparty requires a wristband – it’s free and available on a first-come, first-served basis from 16:30 on the day.

Look forward to an evening that awakens all your senses, where you’ll experience a complete artistic encounter surrounded by spectacular works, captivating live performances, and atmospheric DJ sets.

In addition to the exhibition, enjoy a DJ set by rising Danish musician tonser, who’s also performing at this year’s Roskilde Festival. Plus, don’t miss popular Copenhagen DJs Fine & Melodi, and a live set by 100%Wet – a unique mix of breakbeat, drum’n’bass, and acid house, blended with grunge- and shoegaze-inspired songwriting.

Soft Robots draws on H.C. Andersen’s fairy tale The Nightingale and features works by both Danish and international artists. The exhibition explores the idea of embodied technology not as a human copy, but as a poetic extension of our lives, nature, and existence across species and states of being.

Artists:
A. A. Murakami, Alice Bucknell, Ayoung Kim, Daria Martin, Holly Herndon & Matt Dryhurst, Joan Heemskerk, Jonas Kjeldgaard Sørensen, Klára Hosnedlová, Martyna Marciniak, Nanna Debois Buhl, Rhoda Ting & Mikkel Bojesen, Silas Inoue, Takashi Murakami, WangShui, and Yunchul Kim.
