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.

MAX A5 again

It is true, MAX A5 will be be open for one day only again this year; Saturday 24 Nov at KONTOR gallery, Værnedamsvej 7A. This year with 56 participants and 330 pieces on show. MAX A5 is organized by Laura Eriksen and Tina Brok Hansen and me (she said). Event on FB if you want to stop by on the day. My talented ceramist and ceramics collecter friend Carsten Groth will have 8 mini monsters in MAX A5 sizes.

Linda Hansen - II

She has done it again - created a universe where only Linda Hansen is allowed, with a book (artist print only?) and en exhibition running this week at KONTOR Projects she is letting us have a sticky-beek into her days and nights.

Jeg er Linda Hansen is showing us a blurry state between sleep and wake, with small and large bodies. And scratches on the surface made by found objects.

Linda Hansen, 2010
