đCELEBRATING 1000 VIDEOS!đ
Today we reach a milestone here at Louisiana Channel. After almost 10 years of producing videos on the arts featuring the artists we have published our thousand video in which we meet the critically acclaimed artist Pierre Huyghe.
We want to thank you all for watching our videos. For sharing your thoughts, feelings and questions with us and with the artists. Your engagement with our videos is both moving and motivating. Thank you again!
Remembering Claes Oldenburg (1929-2022)
âHe was playing with language, form, and the familiar. But distorting these things.â American artist Alex Da Corte shares his thoughts and admiration for the late, iconic artist.
We are saddened by the news of the passing of the great artist Sam Gilliam (1933-2022).
Sam Gilliam said about abstract art: "It messes with you. It convinces you that what you think isnât all. And it challenges you to understand something thatâs different⊠Just because it looks like something that resembles you, it doesnâtâ mean that you have an understanding.â
MARINA ABRAMOVIC AND ULAY: NO PREDICTED END
In our new documentary performance artists, Marina AbramoviÄ and the late Ulay agreed to come together for the first time in 30 years, on camera, for a raw, honest, and unfiltered conversation about their art, life, and legacy.
Watch the 95-minute long documentary via channel.louisiana.dk or YouTube.

Congratulations to Diébédo Francis Kéré, architect, educator and social activist, who has been selected as the 2022 Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize:
âI am hoping to change the paradigm, push people to dream and undergo risk. It is not because you are rich that you should waste material. It is not because you are poor that you should not try to create quality,â says KĂ©rĂ©. âEveryone deserves quality, everyone deserves luxury, and everyone deserves comfort. We are interlinked and concerns in climate, democracy and scarcity are concerns for us all.â
Watch our interviews with Kéré about, amongst other things, his architectural philosophy.
We mourn the pioneering artist Dan Graham who died this weekend, 79 years old.
âI think Iâm recreating childhood desires,â Graham stated when we visited him in his home in SoHo, New York, in 2015. âIâm turning alienation into pleasure for everybody, including myself as a child,â he said when speaking about his iconic optical, distorted pavilions and revealed how they mirror his troubled childhood and early experience with mental illness.
A huge congratulations to Niviaq Korneliussen who just won the Nordic Council Literature Prize last night.
âIâve never seen a generation that is so strong-willed and so motivated to change society,â the young writer said about young Greenlanders in this video recorded in Nuuk, Greenland in 2020.
Don't miss our new video where Pipilotti Rist, primarily known for her video works, shares her thoughts and philosophies on using moving images: âIf my work helps to imagine other perspectives even of animals or children or stones⊠Then Iâm really satisfied.â đ
Madonna fans, John Lennon fans, Meryl Streep and Steve Martin all gather in our new video with artist Candice Breitz:
Tomorrow's video will be with the legendary drummer Alvin Queen. We can't wait to share it with you!đ„
