Galleri Image
Vestergade 29, 8000 Aarhus C
Galleri Image is a non-commercial public gallery for camera-based art, founded in Aarhus in 1977. Galleri Image was the only exhibition space dedicated to photography in Denmark for several years and now also presents a wide variety of art forms that make use of or are in dialogue with cameras and photographic techniques: video art, books, installation, and computer art.
The annual programme encompasses five to six solo and group exhibitions by Danish and international artists, both emerging and well-established practitioners within the field. Galleri Image have frequently presented major seminars and symposia with renowned experts and academics in addition to hosting artist talks and book launches for new artists’ books.
Galleri Image participates in major global festivals and presents travel exhibitions, often as part of collaborative efforts with established curators and art institutions. Throughout the years, it has hosted exhibitions with works by world-famous artists, including Diane Arbus, Duane Michaels, August Sander, Allen Ginsberg, Joan Fontcuberta, Martin Parr, Katarzyna Kozyra and Lebohang Kganye.

In connection with the launch of the Blik! festival, visual artist Jesper Rasmussen will create a major installation piece entitled Photobook Society in Galleri Image.
Much like the festival, the installation pays tribute to the photobook and the many opportunities it presents, while exploring the role and place of the art book in the world.
Photobook Society comprises books, furniture, and elements from a similar previous installation, which together create a “gesamtkunstwerk” that functions as an exhibition scenography for photobooks, an archive, a seating lounge, a lecture salon, a bookstore, and a sculptural work of art in itself.
Galleri Image’s intimate and intricate atmosphere is used to create an inclusive and enveloping scenography that promotes wonder and reflection, as the contradictory functionalities all add up to a unified whole, while simultaneously posing a challenge to each other.
