Copenhagen Contemporary throws open its doors to Soft Robots, an exhibition that challenges the boundaries between nature and technology.

Drawing on H.C. Andersen’s fairy tale of the Nightingale and works by both Danish and international artists, Soft Robots embraces the idea of embodied technology not as a mere human copy but as a poetic extension of our lives, our environment, and our very being across different modes of existence.

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.

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