EXIT 07 / MAY 12 - JULY 8 2007

I do like this piece a lot. It is the work of a just graduated student of the Royal Danish Art Academy… Shame on me, I do not remember the name. Will have to go there again or get the catalogue, available at the end of May… Something to do with the neo-nomad? Don’t know… drifting in Copenhagen, and digital exploration of boundaries…

Works and projects by graduate students from the Royal Danish Art Academy and School of Visual Arts are presented in this annual exhibition. Exit is a panorama of the current tendencies within painting, video, photography, sculpture, graphics, digital animation and installations created by 29 artists.

In the intimate surroundings of GL STRAND, it’s possible to get an overview of new Danish art – a rare occurrence for gallery owners, collectors, critics, curators and art lovers alike. Everyone’s a critic, including GL STRAND itself as we invest in chosen works which are then given away to members in a lottery.

Kronprinsessegade, the street where my office is… Totally disorienting for a tourist :) It is covered with another street name, a hack performed by an artist in protest of the demolition of the youth house: more info on guerrilla innovation.

Currently reading: Deborah Chambers, New Social Ties: Contemporary Connections in a Fragmented Society (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2006)… and found this ad on facebook:

The book examines FRIENDSHIP as a core concept for the analysis of relationships across times and spaces.

I can’t wait to come across that zwei tote! Flexible and elegant. No need to have hundreds of bags (I admit, this is going to be difficult), when one can be that versatile…

Togetherness… is so wonderful. Particularly when both partners share the same passion: mobility. Because life is happening all around, in so many different places. And there is so much to discover. Whether shopping, attending an important meeting or out cycling, “zwei” grows with your personal needs, offering continuity in the face of constant change.

I am always amazed by the need we have… to print photographs! Isn’t a digital file easier to carry? Well I guess in our consumerist society, I can just trash it and reprint it at will (poor planet!). I guess with that gadget, the sony portable printer_comes with a handy handle_ one can create instant postcards… just need to purchase a 2D code stamp from your cell phone, or even from the machine! via coolest gadjets.
