The exhibition Pia Arke - Dream and Repression , which is part of the series Louisiana on Paper and is currently on display at Louisiana , presents Pia Arke (1958-2007) and her significant works. Pia Arke made significant contributions to staged photography, and she was the first artist to evoke images of the silence that characterized the history of the colonial relationship between Greenland and Denmark. Despite her untimely death, Pia Arke is today considered a very significant artist, and with 15 works, she is the second most represented artist in Louisiana's collection of recent art.
