Museum Jorn is located in Silkeborg and takes its name from its extensive collection of works by the COBRA painter Asger Jorn. Jorn and the other COBRA painters, a group of international artists in the fifties who focused on chance and working experimentally. Their practice evolved from a critique of Western society and a shared desire to break away from existing art movements, including abstraction and naturalism, which they respectively detested and considered sterile. Experimentation, embodied by the creativity of children, was for them a symbol of unfettered freedom. Museum Jorn has a creative drop-in workshop that allows visitors to experiment with the same techniques that Asger Jorn and the other COBRA artists used in their practice. So-called modifications – where an old painting is painted over with your own motif, or an old plate is painted over – are techniques that can be tried in the workshop, where paint and old paintings and thrift store plates are available to paint on. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the exercises provide an embodied experience of what it means to work experimentally and disruptively.
