COPENHAGEN.- SNOOZE (90 Seconds to Midnight) marks Lea Porsager’s third solo exhibition with Nils Stærk. Lea Porsager is an artist whose works play out in the triangular tension between quantum physics, tantric practices, and feminist theory. Her practice interweaves speculation, fabulation and materialization within a variety of mediums, including film, sculpture, text, and earth works.

Since her last solo presentation in 2016, the artist’s list of institutional solo exhibitions includes Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen, 2021; Moderna Museet, Stockholm, 2020-21; FuturDome, Milan, 2020; Museum of Contemporary Art, Roskilde, 2019; Brandts, Odense, 2016. During this period, Porsager also worked on several public commissions such as Gravitational Ripples, an earthwork and memorial in Stockholm inaugurated in 2018; KLIT, a shore biotope in Odense in 2021; Palm_Reading_Touch_Swipe at Prästängsskolan in Stångby in 2022; Repulsive Enchantment at Aarhus School of Architecture in 2021.

In 2018, Porsager was selected as a CERN Honorary Mention for the Collide International Award. Porsager is currently working on a site-specific earthwork commissioned by Fuglsang Kunstmuseum. Porsager received her Ph.D. from Malmö Art Academy and Lund University in 2021, and is currently continuing her practice-based research through Mads Øvlisen Postdoc Fellowship with the project OUTRAGEOUS INTIMACY [Spooky Touch at a Distance], hosted by The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Visual Arts, in collaboration with Arts at CERN — the arts program at CERN (European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva), for which she received an Honorary Mention for the Collide International Award in 2018.
