Experience spectacular performance by Monster Chetwynd, performance by Peaches, fireworks show by Esben Weile Kjær and Maja Malou Lyse and much more when Art in a Day 2022 culminates with a blast of a party at Copenhagen Contemporary. Everyone is welcome, and it's free to experience the performances, as well as free to visit the Light & Space exhibition at CC all day.
For 24 hours, Art in a Day transforms Copenhagen and the city's six art institutions into a stage for performance art. Join an urban art tour throughout the city with performances of all kinds, taking place in the art institutions and out in the city's spaces - from its streets and backyards, on bridges, in church towers and on the water.
The art programme culminates in a big party and performances on 24 June at 18:00, when Copenhagen Contemporary invites you to an evening of art, music, food, fireworks and dance.
We look forward to seeing you!

PEACHES
Peaches once again takes the stage during Art in a Day, where she ends the programme with an intense performance at CC.
An iconic feminist musician, producer, director, and performance artist, Peaches has spent nearly two decades pushing boundaries and wielding immeasurable influence over mainstream pop culture from outside of its confines. Carving a bold, sexually progressive path in her own image, she has made history in the realm of both music and visual art.
Peaches has collaborated with everyone from Iggy Pop and Daft Punk to Kim Gordon and Major Lazer, had her music featured in cultural beacons like Lost In Translation, The Handmaid's Tale, and Broad City among others. Dubbed a ‘genuine heroine’ by the New York Times, Peaches has released five critically acclaimed studio albums blending electronic music, hip-hop, and punk rock while tackling gender politics, sexual identity, ageism, and the patriarchy. Uncut has raved that her work brought together ‘high art, low humour and deluxe filth [in] a hugely seductive combination’, while Rolling Stone called her ‘surreally funny [and] nasty’. An equally prolific visual artist, Peaches has directed over twenty of her own videos, designed one of the most raw and creative stage shows in popular music, and has appeared at modern art’s most prestigious gatherings, from Art Basel, Miami, to the Venice Biennale.
24 June from 23.49 to 23.59 Copenhagen Contemporary.
MONSTER CHETWYND, TEARS
Tears is a large-scale installation and performance created by the artist Monster Chetwynd for Art Basel 2021. Chetwynd’s sculptural installation and performance Tears is inspired by Salvador Dalí’s jewel in the form of a crying eye and is a continuation of her artistic practice, which often involves performative works, various media, and the viewers themselves. In the spaces outside CC, Chetwynd will transform Dali’s precious object into a disrupted sculptural space, where so-called Zorbs will roll around. Performers inside these giant transparent balloons will initiate the movements, following the artist’s choreography to create a scene of teardrops dancing. Periodically, dancers in glamorous costumes will perfor
