Exhibition: What Moves Us? Le Corbusier & Asger Jorn in Art and Architecture

What moves us humans, physically and emotionally? This is the theme explored by the protagonist of modern architecture Le Corbusier (1887-1965) as well as by the great Danish artist Asger Jorn (1914-1973) in their architecture, art and writings. With the exhibition What moves us? Le Corbusier & Asger Jorn, Museum Jorn brings the two artists and thinkers who both wanted to change the world together again.

Le Corbusier is one of the most influential and controversial figures in modern urban planning, architecture and art. Recently his contacts with both fascists and communists have made headlines in Danish newspapers. Museum Jorn marks the 50th anniversary of Le Corbusier’s death with an international exhibition which offers a glance behind the façade of Le Corbusier’s life, art and architecture, while at the same time correlating his oeuvre with the ideas of his former assistant: Asger Jorn. Where Le Corbusier’s quest was idealistic and spiritual, Jorn’s explorations were focused on the materials and their physical properties.
