POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR VISUAL ART IN DENMARK

UKK

UKK – Organization for Artists and Curators er en uafhængig, faglig forening, som har til formål at skabe bedre forhold for samtidskunsten og dens udøvere. UKK opstod i foråret 2002 som en direkte reaktion mod kulturministeriets nedskæringer, der i særlig grad ramte den unge kunstscene. Det stod dengang klart at ingen talte på denne gruppes vegne, hvorfor en ny organisering var nødvendig. I dag ligger den store udfordring i fortsat at sikre armslængdeprincippet mod centralisering og politisk kontrol, samt at bibeholde en kritisk diskussion om arbejdsvilkår for kunstarbejdere.

BKF

Billedkunstnernes Forbund (BKF) er Danmarks faglige organisation for billedkunstnere. Forbundets hovedformål er at varetage kunstnernes faglige, økonomiske, sociale og juridiske interesser og at fremme brugen af kunst overalt i samfundet. BKF værner om den kunstneriske frihed for den enkelte kunstner og om respekten for billedkunst i almindelighed.
