Ben Nason

M.A. Projects - Exhibitions:

"In the more recent series, entitled 'Spare', Nason purposefully moves away from the lyricism and expressionism of his early work. Through the rigours of form and composition, he attempts to find a new way of capturing this alienation. Turning away from his old subject matter, he seeks direct light and neutral spaces. Leaving the lonely and poetic scenes of Night Diary, he decides to photograph an urban park in broad daylight, filled with people out walking. For a year he photographs this space. The spare, washed-out ground of this public garden becomes a stage and the people, captured alone and together and always with their faces hidden or out of frame, become the players in an anonymous and therefore universal human drama."

Grzegorz Wroblewski - Google Search

Jacket 31 - October 2006 - Grzegorz Wróblewski: Two poems: A Summation Scheme (About the Illness of John T.) / Black Head:

"A general state of consciousness?
In the tenement house live a pimp and a carpet-seller.
Neither of them can stand Dante.
Because
they have never set their eyes on him.
Because we’re flooded by light literature and life
is devoid of a single shred of comedy.
A mannerism of thought is out of the question here." . . .


DSC04702Pilaiporn Pethrith
M.A. Projects - Artists: "
Pilaiporn Pethrith, born 1978, lives and works in Bangkok and Copenhagen., and brings our attention to worldwide situations of complexity and disaster in her mixed media paintings. Pilaiporn combines dramatic news photographs, striking colours, and the ever-present persona of an elf like creation that she calls a �Goggle�; due to its fixed stare. The Goggle is an eerie and anonymous observer of events, a cartoon silhouette with elfin ears and a single eye. The mood of Pilaiporn�s paintings is up-tempo and �Pop Art� but also strangely unsettling. The images provoke many questions; does the Goggle represent us? Is it an impartial observer? A witness? A silent accuser? A practical joker?

Pilaiporn is a graduate of Silapakorn who went on to study Art in Denmark for six years before returning to Thailand. This accounts to some degree for the breadth of focus in her work and her assimilation of the European �Elf� into her artwork."

berlinerluft

berlinerluft: "Liveart.dk har importeret ni performancekunstnere fra Berlin, og viser tre performances per aften den 5/5, 12/5 & 19/5 - 2007. Nøgleordene er poesi, pop, ro, musik, video, foredrag, teater og debat. Entreen er gratis og alle taler engelsk.

De ni solokunstnere præsenterer resultaterne af mange års dybt personlig forskning i emner, der interesserer dem. Det kan være dødsmåder, kærlighed, Mickey Mouse, eller slet ingenting! Spørgsmålet om genbrug går igen: Hvad vil det sige at være kunstner i dag? Kan man være original, samtidig med at man hugger med arme og ben fra andres værker?

Kunstnerne er alle fra Berlin,"

Market and rock concert

Market and rock concert - a photoset on Flickr: "first at 4,30 pm I went late to the Copenhagen open air green market in Israels Plads and got such good bargains that I forget to snap them - except for the blurred snaps of the spring onions whose outer leaves were only fit for compost.

Then my daughter invited me to a rock concert by Stella Polaris at Statens Museum for Kunst, the Danish National Gallery in Copenhagen which was open to midnight.

En unik aften med live musik og live kunst. To af tidens mest spændende kunstnere dma-vinder Teitur og norske Ane Brun samt Stella Polaris Soundsystem spiller på museets Scene."
