Just returned from Beijing after 10 days of working on an installation for NOTCH festival 2011. NOTCH festival is an annual event in China showcasing Nordic and Chinese artists and designers, and this year we collaborated with a local Chinese designer called Been, who we met last time we were in Beijing. We got along so well, and now we just want her to move to Denmark!
This year’s theme for the festival was Feedback, and all the artists used recycled materials found in the hutong area where the factory and exhibition space is situated.
Our work consisted of 4 large weaving frames hanging from the ceiling. In between the cotton strings we wove pieces of colourful paper from used cigarette boxes.
If you happen to be in Beijing, you can go and see the whole exhibition at 8 Dawailangying Hutong, Dashilan, until October 9th. Other participating Nordic artists were Jacob Sikker Remin from Denmark, Tuomas Laitinen from Finland, Gudrun Kristjansdottir from Iceland and Baltos Kandys from Lithuania.
We will be displaying a few pieces of our work at c/o Illustration, an illustration fair in Stockholm, opening March 25th in Biblioteksgatan 10. Unfortunately we won’t be able to make it up to Stockholm, but we are nevertheless very exited to participate.
Outline Editions in London have a new show coming up, including great artists such as Anthony Burrill and Klaus Haapaniemi. We are very happy to have a piece in the show as well! Private view is on March 3rd.
The show is called Into the Forest, a themed show that offers affordable limited edition prints by young graphic artists. Prints are priced from £15 to £185

We just took part in an outdoor poster-illustration exhibition at this year’s Chaumont International Poster Festival in France, which was curated by Adrian Shaughnessy. There were 30 individual posters mounted on giant concrete tubes throughout the town, created by different artists. We chose to use our picture Likouala, originally made for an outdoor billboard exhibition with ROJO in Barcelona.
