Laura Langer Presents Retrospective Exhibition at Simian Gallery in Copenhagen

Artist Laura Langer has mounted an exhibition titled 'Why am I me?' at Simian gallery in Copenhagen. The presentation features a curated selection of paintings drawn from her previous shows and previously unexhibited studio works. Langer, who typically creates site-specific installations, has chosen to display these pieces in a new architectural context by constructing a series of corridors within the gallery. This design creates extensive white wall space and imposes a linear, sequential viewing experience. The arrangement of artworks is not chronological but follows the artist's intuitive editing process, reflecting a moment of reassessment in her career. Key series on view include 'The Wheel' (2025), 'Homesick' (2021), 'Never Titled' (2020), and 'Execution' (2023). The exhibition structure addresses practical concerns of limited funding and studio storage, while also engaging themes of perspective, time, and bodily movement. The artist's background in filmmaking influences the show's narrative sequencing and editing approach. The installation encourages visitors to physically navigate the space, creating a personal timeline of encounter with the works.
