  • Summary

  • Danish Originals is a podcast series, in English, that features Danish creatives who have made a mark in the US. They are visual artists, but also outstanding thinkers and makers in music, film, television, stage, radio, podcasts, design, architecture, poetry, literature, dance, comedy, food and drink, fashion, green initiatives, social sustainability, and other fields. These Danish creatives share their stories of their beginnings, their vision, their struggles and triumphs, their worldviews and ideals. They discuss how their connection to Denmark and to Danish culture has grounded, inspired, or even diverted them in their journeys. And we ask them to share their connection with one work they choose from the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst. Their reflections enlighten, inspire, and engage us, and help us see, feel, and understand the world through their eyes, and the SMK collection, one work at a time. Danish Originals is co-represented by American Friends and Statens Museum for Kunst and Statens Museum for Kunst, and is sponsored by Studio Haslund. Hosted by Tina Jøhnk Christensen, directed by Christian D. Bruun, produced by Teresa Lai and May Eleven Projects, with original museum by Joachim Svare. We invite you to subscribe to Danish Originals for weekly episodes. And we invite you to donate to the American Friends of Statens Museum for Kunst and become a patron, and to follow SMK's podcast Det store billede.

    From his Los Angeles home, Danish artist and Oscar-winning film producer BENNI KORZEN, who left Copenhagen for New York in 1964, talks first about his 200 or so abstract color paintings and collages that surround him.
