Luise Faurschou is a Copenhagen-based Danish curator, art advisor, cultural entrepreneur, and former art gallerist.[1][2]

She is the Founding Director of ART 2030 (2016-)[3], a non profit organization uniting art with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.[4] ART 2030 facilitates art projects connected to the UN Global Goals - including public events, art experiences, and educational activities. In 2017, Luise Faurschou curated Ai Weiwei's installation Soleil Levant on the façade of the art institution Kunsthal Charlottenborg, in Copenhagen, Denmark[5]. With over 3,500 lifejackets collected from the shores of the Greek island of Lesbos barricading the outer wall of the exhibition gallery, the work renewed focus to the ongoing European migrant crisis, as well as issues surrounding the topics of equality and justice in mainstream and public discourse[6][7]. In 2019 ART 2030 worked with artist Jeppe Hein on the project 'Breathe With Me', a public art action on display at UN Headquarters from 21 to 24 September, and in Central Park from 25 to 27 September, 2019.[8][9][10]. In 2021 ART 2030 worked with Superflex on the project 'Interspecies Assembly', debuting in New York at the 76th UN General Assembly.[11][12][13]

Luise Faurschou also manages the art advisory agency Faurschou Art Resources (2015-)[14]. As an independent art dealer and curator, Luise Faurschou has traveled worldwide to advise and develop projects for public and private museums and art collections. in 2017, she curated the exhibition 'Human Nature - Doing, Undoing, and Redoing' with works by Louise Bourgeois for Kistefos Museum and Sculpture Park in Norway[15]. In 2019, she curated the exhibition ''Tomorrow is the Question' with works by Alfredo Jaar, Allora & Calzadilla, Cao Fei, Doug Aitken, Hito Steyerl, Olafur Eliasson, Simon Denny and Tómas Saraceno among others for ARoS [16].

In 1986, together with her former partner, Jens Faurschou, she opened Galleri Faurschou in Copenhagen, Denmark. A second gallery in Beijing, China, followed in 2007. Over the years, Galleri Faurschou became a prominent dealer of the works of Edvard Munch. The two galleries mounted a number of exhibitions, showing works by art history icons such as Pablo Picasso, Robert Rauschenberg, Louise Bourgeois, Andy Warhol[17], Ai Weiwei, Yoko Ono[18][19], Shirin Neshat, Gerhard Richter, Danh Vo, and Bill Viola, as well as retaining a particular emphasis on Danish artists, such as Michael Kvium, Asger Jorn and Christian Lemmerz. After more than twenty years as gallery owners, Luise and Jens Faurschou decided to proceed as a Foundation in 2011,[20][21][22] hereby favouring direct contact with the artists.[23] The Copenhagen and Beijing-based Faurschou Foundation[24] is run now by Jens Faurschou.
