MAX A5 - the 2013 show

It's the time of year again where I organize the MAX A5 art exhibition and sales with Laura and Tina. This is our third year of putting on this one-day event, and I think I can safely say that this is now an established fixture of the November art scene in Copenhagen. This year we have 55 artists showing and selling 320 pieces of art across photography, text, collage, drawing, embroidery, ceramics, sculpture and more.

I will show 6 pieces from the Japan series, and have also made a pixie size book.

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.

Spheres for MAX A5

Only five days till the MAX A5 event. We have more than 320 works by 56 artists that will be exhibited for one day. I will show 7 new works in a series called Spheres.

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.

Theresa plays pencilophon

Incredible what you can do with pencil, paper, stone and a needle. Check out Theresa Moerman Ib playing this classic tune on pencilophone. And while you're at it, take a look at her updated website with installation views from her degree show.
