Kadeau x V1 Gallery | Preservation Season 2026
We’re delighted to share our 7th collaboration with Kadeau, a selection of artworks complementing their 2026 Preservation Season.
In the Summer of 2026, V1 Gallery and the three‑Michelin‑starred restaurant Kadeau, invited Rose Eken, Frederik Nystrup-Larsen, and Peter Funch to the Danish island of Bornholm – the inception point of Kadeau
The three artists engulfed themselves in the island; enjoyed the local specialities, soaked in the atmosphere, drawing, photographing, and painting. This trip laid the groundworks for a series of new works that are now installed at Kadeau, Copenhagen for their Preservation Season.
On the collaboration, co-founder and head chef of Kadeau, Nicolai Nørregaard, shares:
"Twice a year, in step with the changing of the menu, we transform the interior of Kadeau Copenhagen with new artworks throughout the restaurant, selected in close collaboration with V1 Gallery. For me, the process mirrors the creative ethos of the kitchen. Selecting new works every six months is just as fun and challenging as creating new dishes – and just like the food, the art for me, serves a purpose. It is another way of shaping the guest experience. Nothing is superfluous."

Frederik Nystrup-Larsen's (b. 1992, DK) practice has in recent years been focused on plant blindness through oil painting, investigating how plant species that constitute our everyday environments increasingly go unnoticed and undervalued. This growing disconnection from nature contributes to a diminished understanding of plants’ essential role within the biosphere and accelerates the loss of biodiversity. In response, Nystrup-Larsen documents, preserves, and revitalises local flora. His works function as an archive — one that seeks to restore awareness and foster renewed engagement with the natural world.
Rose Eken (b. 1976, DK) works with a distinctive sensitivity to the traces left behind by people and cultures. Her practice moves across sculpture, installation, and ceramic painting. She shapes and paints objects from concert venues, kitchens, studios, and other everyday spaces, often arranging them in systematic grids reminiscent of scientific catalogues. In doing so, her works take on an anthropological or archaeological quality, preserving the fleeting and informal as cultural-historical relics.
Peter Funch (b. 1974, DK) is a photographer whose work exists in a space where time feels suspended. Funch has developed a practice that intertwines social commentary, cinematic storytelling, and a keen observational eye. Funch has consistently explored the interplay between human behaviour, narrative, and temporality. His projects often inhabit multiple registers simultaneously, from social sculpture and portraiture to time-based art, producing images that feel at once contemporary and timeless.
Through both still and motion work, he constructs perceptive visual stories that reflect on humanity, existence, and the Anthropocene, all while maintaining a distinctive Nordic calm and dry humour.
