Africa: architecture, culture and identity
With a comprehensive presentation of architecture projects, contemporary art and cultural history, a story of Africa on the rise is told. The exhibition shows that there are multiple alternative narratives about contemporary culture and history from the African continent’s many regions. These are necessary to refine our image of and view on Africa.
Louisiana’s architecture exhibitions are never just about construction and aesthetics, but rather about the physical and mental spaces that form our social communities, which architecture also shapes, interprets and changes. An architecture exhibition at Louisiana affects the life we live, the life that others live and the life we could live.
The Africa exhibition is the third chapter in Louisiana’s major series Architecture, Culture and Identity. In 2011, the museum unveiled the first chapter – NEW NORDIC – and in 2012, it turned attention toward the Arab world with the ARAB CONTEMPORARY exhibition. Finally, the trilogy's third chapter focuses on sub-Saharan Africa.

Terry Winters: Prints 1999-2014
This year’s second exhibition in the Louisiana on Paper series – after David Hockney – is a large selection of graphic work by the American artist Terry Winters. Winters (born in 1949 in Brooklyn, New York) is also a painter, but in his graphic work he expresses his full potential.
Few have explored every corner of this medium’s possibilities as he has done. The Louisiana on Paper series is intended to open up large artistic worlds in a small format – on paper – and thus present a different kind of art experience than that of more ostentatious works, because looking at art on paper is often like reading. Terry Winters gives the viewer a chance to enter into another world where the small signs arouse our emotions.
This exhibition is presented in association with the Colby College Museum of Art, Waterville, Maine and Staatliche Graphische Sammlung München.
