Supervox- creativity is a force of nature

Danish artist Esben Weile Kjær traces a path from Aarhus punk and squatting culture to DJing, and explains why he treats images the way DJs treat tracks. 
He talks about where punk and pop collide in Hardcore Freedom at Copenhagen Contemporary, along with brutalism, stained glass as early light spectacles and curating Butterfly at ARKEN.
For our ongoing podcast series, made in collaboration with SUPERVOX, we talk to creatives about their practice. All episodes are recorded at other circle in 2026.
Episode 004 is hosted by Richard Feigin.

A conversation between South African photographer and visual activist Zanele Muholi and Astrid Birnbaum, recorded in Stockholm inside Faces and Phases: The Stockholm Edition at Eva Livijns Art Space (curated by Ulrika Flink), alongside a larger presentation at the Hasselblad Center in Gothenburg.
Muholi reflects on receiving the Hasselblad Award 2026 as recognition for the communities whose stories they’ve documented, and traces an artistic journey shaped by township life under apartheid, activism, and the need for respectful, positive representation.
They discuss why “any space is a space” if collaborators are safe and respected, and how showing work in a home can feel warmer and less intimidating than institutions.
Muholi shares how Faces and Phases formally grew from personal and collective loss, expands through international collaborations including Black Queer Sweden, and explains Somnyama Ngonyama as self-portraiture, healing, ancestry, and language, where titles arrive through meaning, memory, and time.

The plates are designed by him. So is the glasware. 
Nicolai Nørregaard designs a new set of ceramics every year with people he has known for a long time. The glassware is made inhouse too. We went to Copenhagen for a chat with him in the test kitchen at Kadeau. This is a talk about craft and about a chef who refuses to stay in the kitchen.
He just got his third Michelin star. We wanted to know what really goes on behind it.
It starts on the walls. Old dishes stay up as a reference library. The menu changes twice a year and every new idea has to stand next to what came before. It is a hard cycle and he runs it without shortcuts.
Nicolai is CEO and creative director. He shapes the flavor, the plating and the room around it. In collaboration with V1 Gallery, artists come to Bornholm for residencies and their work is installed in the restaurant with the seasons.
Twice a year it all shifts together. Food, plates, glass, art and interiors. A new feeling every time, but always rooted in the island.
Bornholm is where it comes from. Smokehouses, preservation, gardens and a deep craft tradition. Cooking became his fastest way to make something. You can taste it right away.
