The end of artblog in English

A mix of this blogs very few readers and my busy life is causing me to stop translating artblog in to English. It was fun but also timeconsuming. You can always use Google Translate even though it sometimes translate the text in to some gobbledygook you might be able to make some sense out of it.

Sigmar Polke has passed away

The night between Friday and Saturday Sigmar Polke passed away 69 years old. The first time I saw his work is many, many years ago. I was young and on an Interrail tour through Germany and Schwitzerland. He made a great impression on me.

Laboratorium at Brænderigården in Viborg

Four older artists represent the three themes of the exhibition Laboratorium. Franciska Clausen represents The Form. J.F. Willumsen The Fragment and Albert Mertz and Arthur Köpcke stands for The Sign. The invited contemporary artists has been merged with the older artists, we found they shared a community with and in most cases we have been right. Many of the artists have been really happy to be grouped with the specific older artist.

The Form


Franciska Clausen, Pernelle Maegaard, Milena Bonifiacini, Ferdinand Ahm Krag

The Fragment


J.F.Willumsen, Cai Ulrich von Platen, Nina Kleivan, Malene Hartmann, Mikael Thejll.

The Sign




Albert Mertz, Arthur Köpcke, Mikkel Larris, Camilla Gaugler, Andreas Schulenburg

The themes works as a red thread through the exhibition, but the artists are not necessarily in the same room as those they share theme with. The red line you may, if you watch the show, create on your own.
