John Kenn Mortensen: Dream Homes
On view through November 1, 2025
Brattleboro Museum & Art Center
Brattleboro, Vermont
www.Brattleboromuseum.org

A different breed of imaginary monsters will populate the museum’s South Gallery in the exhibition “Dream Homes,” featuring drawings by internationally best-selling Danish illustrator, writer, and film director John Kenn Mortensen. The exhibition, Mortensen’s first in the U.S., features the artist’s most recent pen-and-ink drawings, as well as a collection of his iconic “sticky monsters”—meticulously detailed, exquisitely creepy drawings rendered on yellow Post-it notes. Mortensen will discuss his work with BMAC Director Danny Lichtenfeld, who curated the exhibit, in an online conversation on Thursday, April 24.
