Exhibition: FANTABULOUS COLOURING: Christoph Ruckhäberle – The Pervert






Yesterday was opening night for a range of exhibitions in Copenhagen.
One was Christoph Ruckhäberle's exhibition The Pervert at Galleri Nikolai Wallner.
It features paintings & drawings in oil, aquarelle & ink.
I especially fell for the color-work on the oil-paintings. (the web-photos don't at all give justice to the original art-work, needs to be experienced first-look)

TEDTalk: Chimamanda Adichiem



Some time ago I stumbled across this Ted-talk, where author Chimamanda Adichiem present some nuances on prejudice, how stereotype stories are repeated & the importance of diversity in literature & media-reports.

Basquiat BASQUIAT!!

For a long time, the name Basquiat didn't mean much or anything special to me.
Until I watched the documentary The Radiant Child by Tamra Davis.

Now, and until January 11th 2012 Arken is exhibiting pieces from the Warhol | Basquiat collaboration.





Inspired & over-enthusiasmed.

In search of alternative dramaturgy in film - now!


Got the tip to watch the swedish film Man tänker sitt by Henrik Hellström & Fredrik Wenzel
The film is a couple of years old & I don't know if you need to have been brought up in Sweden to apprehend all the nuances glimpsing by under the surface. 
Nonetheless, it was truly liberating to watch.
