Newchild is thrilled to announce that Kristian Touborg is participating in the group exhibition LIFE ANGST (LIVSANGST) at Museum Jorn in Denmark. 

The exhibition explores art, healing, fear, and resilience, beginning with Asger Jorn’s formative years at Silkeborg Sanatorium. 

It brings together works by Marina Abramović, Kinga Bartis, Jeppe Hein, Asger Jorn, Emma Kunz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Edvard Munch, Ovartaci, Cindy Sherman and others, alongside new large-scale paintings by Kristian Touborg. For the exhibition, Touborg has created two new works titled LIVSANGST and Exciety Pond. 

Both paintings move in the same atmosphere as his recent body of work Rippling Excieties: surfaces where reflection, fragility, and resilience intertwine. 

Flowers and shadows seem to hover at the edge of dissolution, yet each canvas holds a pulse of persistence - light pressing through layers of pigment and stitched silk, insisting on survival even in states of strain. 

Newchild gallery is proud to see Kristian Touborg make a meaningful contribution to this timely dialogue. LIFE ANGST will be on view from September 5, 2025, through February 15, 2026, with an opening on September 4, 2025. Kristian Touborg (b.1987 in Roskilde, Denmark) holds an MA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, and he is the recipient of the Danish Arts Foundation working grant (2017).
