The celebrated Corner artist collective is navigating significant difficulties with its latest exhibition, housed in a novel location beneath Langeliniekajen in Copenhagen. The collective, known for its unique artistic endeavors, has embraced an ambitious new setting for its current showcase.
While the artistic merit of the works displayed remains strong, the physical environment of the new venue is proving to be a considerable challenge.
