X A CAPITAL DESIRE
The historical starting-point of the exhibition “X · A CAPITAL DESIRE” is the Danish artist Lene Adler Petersen’s incursion into the Copenhagen Stock Exchange – taken as the symbolic epicentre of patriarchy, commerce and capitalism.
The next day, Denmark became the first country in the world to decriminalize pornography. The year was 1969.
The exhibition brings together sex, bodies and capital, with an unobstructed view of the Champs-Élysées. The « X » here is no longer a sign of the forbidden. Instead, it has become a marker, a constant in everyday life – a reality that remains hidden but is suddenly unveiled at Le Bicolore, the Maison du Danemark’s contemporary art platform.
