Interview
Lasse Skovrup
Gallerist & Curator
Driven by a fascination with the systems that shape the art world, Lasse is creating something that resists both commercial pace and the comfort of trends. For him, authenticity is crucial – in art, in people, and in the way things are done. Burnout has taught him that slowing down isn’t failure, it’s precision. Whether he talks about the overuse of the word ‘creative’, the balance between elitism and democratisation, or how fashion has lost its soul to mass production, he speaks with honesty rather than performance. His gallery ‘Galleri Sod’, isn’t only a space for showing art, but for questioning the structures that surround it – a reminder that meaning takes time.
Editor’s note: There’s a clarity in the way Lasse sees things – a way of moving through ideas, structures, and questions without overcomplicating them. You rarely feel wrong in his company. You can say something half-formed, uncertain, even off, and it’s still met with openness. If Lasse disagrees, the perspective is presented without trying to shift yours. What stands out is how steady he remains in conversation – nothing feels exaggerated or reactive, just considered and open, regardless of what is brought into the room.
