This is Africa now on show

It is always a very special feeling to leave the show room after installing a project to be on show for the first time, and then return a few days later for the opening and seeing how people react and respond to my images. The turnout was amazing, after all it is not exactly central Copenhagen, and to have so many people make the effort and time to come was so so nice. The exhibition is open through May 28, for opening hours see Annaborg.

This is Africa - opening at Annaborg 3 May

Picking up the 10 images for This is Africa on Tuesday morning from Tytter. Will see them all on the walls that afternoon. I will have 2 square rooms facing the containers in the area behind the building. Perfect spot for the reflections I hope they will make. If you have time, come by around 19.30 /7.30 pm to see the images and have a glass of wine. Address is Annaborg, Hillerød (left of the castle).

Linda Hansen blogging

You can now view some of Linda Hansen's past work on her new blog, plus a fabulous morning image of her family made for Københavner. Hopefully she will also share some of her new and ongoing work as she gets into regular blogging.

Back from Oz and MAX A5

I came home with 24 rolls of film from the trip to Western Australia and I've been pouring over contact sheets the past three days - very exciting!

And as if that wasn't enough excitement, we've had 50+ artists accept our invitation for the MAX A5 art and sales exhibition at KONTOR gallery. We spent most of Friday afternoon and evening registering all the artwork for the show; there is so much good work and it will be a great exhibtion [where everything will be for sale at prices between 100 and 350 DKK].

The MAX A5 event will take place on Saturday 26 Nov, 11-16 at KONTOR gallery, Værnedamsvej 7A - stop by if you're in the neighbourhood that day, and buy some great art for yourself or family/friends.

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.

My dad

It's been two years since I met my father, and I think I'm finally ready to share the video of our first meeting more widely. Well, widely among those few who read my blog. Together with Hjemstavn // Revisited, this film is the starting point for my family explorations and I return to this day over and over.

Diptych SD

Eight days in San Diego produced very little new material, but just enough to add to the here or there series. And a diptych or maybe a triptych.
