Lea Porsager’s temporary installation at Fuglsang Kunstmuseum in Toreby L., Denmark, is scheduled to close on 13 September 2026, giving visitors a final opportunity to see around 200 sculptures from the museum’s collection assembled in a single gallery. ‘Fuglsang × Lea Porsager’ has been on view since 7 February.
The exhibition is part of Fuglsang’s ‘Fuglsang ×’ initiative, which invites contemporary artists to temporarily re-stage a gallery using works from the museum’s collection alongside their own. The format is intended to introduce new perspectives on the collection and create encounters between older and more recent art. Allan Otte inaugurated the series in 2024; another artist is planned for 2027.
For the 2026 edition, Porsager has taken sculpture as the organising principle. The museum’s sculptures have been brought out of storage and gathered in one room, where they are presented in relation to Porsager’s own work. The resulting display has been described by the museum in its seasonal newsletter as a raw and sensory installation.
At the centre of the presentation is ‘G.O.D. GENERATOR’, a monumental wind-turbine blade cut in two. The work, made in 2020, measures 19 metres in total and was acquired by Fuglsang Kunstmuseum in 2022. Its scale gives the installation a clear structural focus while placing an industrial object within a setting otherwise devoted to the museum’s sculptural holdings.
The exhibition also includes Porsager’s ‘H.O.L.Y. S.P.I.R.I.T.’ (2024), which has been lent to the museum. The work consists of decommissioned wind-turbine blades from Vindeby on Lolland, identified by the museum as the site of the world’s first offshore wind farm. Together with ‘G.O.D. GENERATOR’, the piece extends the exhibition’s focus beyond sculpture as a traditional medium to objects associated with energy infrastructure and the landscape of southern Denmark.
Fuglsang Kunstmuseum’s collection presentation provides the institutional framework for the project, while Porsager’s role as artist and curator determines the grouping of the works. Rather than isolating the invited artist’s production in a conventional solo display, the initiative places it in direct contact with objects already held by the museum.
‘Fuglsang × Lea Porsager’ remains open at Fuglsang Kunstmuseum through 13 September 2026. The museum’s listed exhibition hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
