Myartspace likes me:-)

Well, I know that you are not supposed to bragg about your self - and especially not when you´re danish! Then you are supposed to say: "Oh, don´t think about me, I don´t matter that much, so meny people matter much more that I do, I certainly don´t deserve this...".

But I decided to bragg a little about myself... I`ve had a profile on Myartspace for a couple of years, I think. To be honest I haven´t been going there much lately, but yesterday I decided to upload some new work, called Educational Plates, into a gallery.

And today I got a mail from Catherine McCormack-Skiba, Founder and Chief Creative Officer at Myartspace, that informed me that my uploaded work have been choosen for the "front page media window, which shows interesting work from selective artists". And she sent me some statistic that stated that about 5 % of uploaded art on Myartspace gets choosen to be featured.

Actually this is the second time I get choosen to be featured. Last time - which was when I originally created my profile there - I got choosen to be featured artist.

So yes, I am proud of myself today. I´m not excatley having a hard time dealing with all the overwhelming recognision I receive in the art world, if you know what I mean;-)

And I decided to share my pride with you.:-)

Now I´ll have a glass of wine.

Exhibits right now

I seem to be having a problem  with updating my homepage. I can´t get the list of exhibits to work, and as it always is, my webdesigner is veeeeeeeeery busy at the moment:-0.

Isn´t webdesigners always veeeeeery busy when you need them?

Anyway here´s a list:

I exhibit at Cafe Sonja, Saxogade 86-88, Copenhagen V from now and until the end of may. I exhibit prints and photomanipulations. The cafe is open mon-saturday 10-15.30 and since I also work there, I can say for sure we have a very good and very cheap brunch on saturdays. Anything you can eat and all the coffee/tea you can drink, and the prize is 60 kroner! Belive me, that´s cheap. And most of it its ecological.
So please stop by, if you are in the neighbourhood:-)

Then I participate in a one day exhibit may 20 at Panuminstituttet/Faculty Of Health Sciences, 3B, Blegdamsvej, DK-2200 Copenhagen.

I don´t know that much about it yet, except that the former premieminister Poul Nyrup Rasmussen will show up. I like him, so maybe I will hang around a bit after having put up my print;-)
I particpate with the print named "Family". And when I know weather there will be public acess, I´ll post it here.


Then I have one more one day exhibit coming up at may 27 at Copenhagen City Hall, something called "Værestedsdag", which is about things going on for mentally sick people living in Copenhagen.
I will participate with my bed-installation called "Mikkel" in the Town Hall, and the exhibit will be open to everybody between 11- 17.
A lot of funny things will be going on, both inside the Town Hall and on the square in front of it (I think the pie competition sounds fun, and you can buy food made over a campfire) so please stop by. I´m sure you DON`T have to be mentally sick to find it funny:-)
