Music at ARKEN: Claus Hempler — ARKEN Museum for Samtidskunst, Ishøj

In spring 2026, Claus Hempler released the single "JuniorSenior" and shortly after the album "Ordensduks I Ingenmandsland", which has already received five hearts in Politiken.

Hempler sang in English for 30 years before switching to Danish in 2019 with the album "Kuffert Fuld Af Mursten". It was well received - and earned him both the Steppeulven Prize and the Carl Prize.

About the venue: ARKEN Museum for Samtidskunst

ARKEN Museum for Samtidskunst opened in 1996 on the shore of Køge Bugt, south of Copenhagen. The building, designed by Søren Robert Lund, resembles a ship run aground on the beach - a striking piece of architecture in its own right. The museum presents Danish and international contemporary art from the 1990s to the present, alongside major temporary exhibitions.

About: Claus Hempler

With more than three decades on the Danish music scene, Claus Hempler returns with his second Danish-language album, 'Ordensduks i Ingenmandsland', and a nationwide tour running from May through October 2026. The songs - crafted with guitarist Lars Skjærbæk and pianist Christoffer Møller - circle around ageing, family life and the dry wit that has become his trademark.
