HJEMSTAVN will be coming home

Less than a week to go before our 1-day event where the works of Grupperingen Hjemstavn will come back to where it all started: the gallery at Værnedamsvej. This event has been a long time in the making, and several obstacles and 'benspænd' mean that it is more than two and a half year ago these works were last on show. Since then they have been stored away in bubble wrap and brown paper, and I am starting to get that tingling feeling of excitement thinking of what it will be like to see them all again. And it is not just seeing the finished works again that I'm excited about, it is also revisiting all the events and life changing moments that happened while we were working on the HJEMSTAVN project; like meeting my father for the first time. Anyway, before I get carried away; if you are in the area on Saturday 5 October between 12 and 6 pm, then stop by at KONTOR Project, Værnedamsvej 7A - in addition to finally showing the works in Copenhagen, we will also auction the artist prints from the collection.

Freezing my toes off

Last week winter hit Denmark big time, or maybe it was just because I was outside for excessive amounts of time, making long exposures and freezing my toes off in the process. But there was something so satisfying about being on the road again with Hjemstavn // Revisited, and though the purpose of the trip was to hang and open the exhibition in Janus Bygningen, of course we had to take a drive around the neighbourhood and shoot some new material.

Leaving Lindbjerg on Sunday afternoon felt like being in Todd Hido land, a photographer whos work I am inspired by and find very tranquil but also somewhat disturbing to look at, sort of the same feeling I get from our own images in Hjemstavn // Revisited.

I'm buying an Imacon scanner now, so I can finally get some of the endless rolls of film scanned and post more images here on '400NC'.

Revisited // Hjemstavn on the move again

Clearly I thought I would have much more time on my hands when I created this blog than what has been the case. I've started a new job, and I must admit that attending to my blog has not been on the top of my list of things to do as priorities have been elsewhere.

But, now it's time for Revisited // Hjemstavn to move to a new location. On Monday the exhibition will be dismantled from the ArtCentre Silkeborg Bad where it has been on show for 4 months, and move to Janus Bygningen. We will be setting up this coming week and opening on Saturday 9th January. I'm looking forward to seeing all our photos and videos again, and also to create a new visiual impression in new surroundings. We will have a new installation for this exhibition, and it will be good to get a few days of intense work with the group.
