KP Prize 2026 of DKK 10,000, a donation by Aarhuus Stiftstidendes Fond, is awarded to
William Niels Møller Nielsen
for the six works at KP26
30 / Root note: cuckoo (the concert)
31 / Ectoplasm, Chewed paper
32 / Rehearsal
33 / Komposition 1 & 2
34 / Perron foyer (platform 1)
35 / Exercise II (wash drawing)
The prize winner has been selected by a jury consisting of visual artists Lasse Krog Møller, Lars Worm and Pia Möller-Light (chairperson of KP), and they justify the awarding with following words:
William Niels Møller Nielsen has created a body of works spanning installation, sculpture, and objects—on the floor and on the wall. It is a play with materials and expression, an expression that is playful and consistently distinctive.
At once, it is executed with both precision and imperfect, homemade solutions, which immediately arouse the viewer’s curiosity.
The viewer is compelled to move around. One must listen, get close, and even down on one’s knees to explore the details and discover small whimsical worlds hidden under the stage, under the platform, and on the ground floor of a white, guitar-droning apartment building with handles and on wheels.
It is certainly not without humor.
Congratulations to William Niels Møller Nielsen on winning the KP Prize 2026!
