New Show in Copenhagen opening tomorrow

We have another show opening – this time it’s right across the street from our studio with our friends and neighbors, at the lovely café Din Nye Ven. We have dug out a lot of old work, from the Magic Hour show as well as brand new work from Losing the Plot at Kemistry Gallery. We will also be showing a lot of old and new posters, a few mobiles and the magic ball from the Turboweekend cover.

So join us at the opening, this Friday, March 5th from 17.00 – 21.00. We would love to see you there!

Linn will be baking colorful cakes, and there will be beer, wine etc. There will also be posters and artwork for sale at the opening, and during the entire period of the show (March 5th – 30th) by appointment… We hope to see you there tomorrow! Everybody is welcome.

Our studio is full of old and new work right now, that we are assembling for the show… We are finishing up a few wood pieces and as usual, we are working several jobs at the same time.

If you haven’t seen them already, remember to check out the photos from our show in London. The show is up until February 27th 2010, so if you are in London, or somewhere near, do drop by and have a look – a lot of the work is made of painted wood and is much better experienced live than on photos! We’ll post a few of the pictires here, but there are more photos + info under the ‘work’ section of our website. And also, here are some photos of how it all came about in a dark and damp basement under Sofie’s apartment.

If you could collaborate

HvassHannibal — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 11:33:31 +0000

If You Could Collaborate is the fourth annual If You Could exhibition curated by Will and Alex from It’s Nice That. We met them a year ago in London over a cup of tea and agreed to join the project. The contributors have been challenged to produce something a little unexpected, by working with a partner of their choosing from any discipline, profession or background. There is no brief to answer, or format to honour – the only limit being the enterprise and imagination of the artists involved, and a liberal 12 month deadline.

We collaborated with our friend Anne Werner, producing a (hold tight) “Op-Art inspired medievalish tapestry made from cotton fabric”. We wanted to create something entirely graphical, and looked at various Op-Art pieces for inspiration. Instead of paper or canvas we decided to use fabric. And instead of traditionally drawing or painting the pattern, we used fabric manipulation techniques to give it an edge of something funny and a bit exaggerated. We really liked working with this combination of modern and non-modern references. These techniques have been used for hundreds of years and in combination with complementary colors and Op-Art like patterns it gave an interesting new expression.

The show is open from 15 — 23 January 2010, 12–6pm
(open late on 21 January, 12–9pm)
A Foundation Gallery at Rochelle School, London E2 7ES.

Gry Futtrup Rasmussen and Linn Wie helped us getting everything together, sewing and cutting all the fabric. Here are some photos of the process:
