No Justice - No peace (the sequel)

The exhibition has been a success thus far. We've had a lot of interest and people coming through - we even managed to sell a few pieces.


















Kosova (2011), 80 X 80, Acrylics on canvas

We have had some very positive reviews from Modkraft and Arbejderen (Sorry, Danish only), plus some mentions around. It appears Magasinet Kunst might also have a feature later.


















Gulf of Aden (2011) 100 X 100, Acrylics on canvas

You can still catch the exhibition at Arttra if you missed it so far - Rasmus Nielsen and myself are still sitting out there mon-tue 2-6 pm and thur 2-7 for the next week. If you want to see the exhibition, but can't make it during those times just drop me a line or have a look at the online catalogue (with explanations/essays in Danish on the last pages) and if you consider supporting starving artists check out the price list.


















Untitled (2011), 65 X 57, Collage, ink, acrylics and spraypaint on cardboard

In other news the PM finally called an election here in Denmark, exactly two days after my friend Babak Vakili returned from Berlin and finished recording the track and video for Enhedslisten's unofficial campaign song "Listen" based on the Talib Kweli track of the same name produced by Kwame. Check the video below (peep the t-shirt while you're at it).

For those of you who want to bump this all the way to the election it can be downloaded here.

Opening at Arttra

The "No Justice - No Peace" opening was a great success. Somehow we managed to get all of the pieces done in time, get them up on the walls in an acceptable manner, get them photographed, make the catalogue, sell some pieces, get (almost) sufficient amounts of beer, djs and slam poets and an amazing turnout.























































Thanks to everyone who came out and made it possible, especially Ida van Gaever, Sigurd Hartkorn Plaetner, Sanja Golubovic, Walid Mezian, Allan Bjerre, Jesper Spiegelberg, Luke Hørsving, Claus Ankersen, Villains Art Crew, Kim Christensen, Jo and Sven Skriver.

No Justice - No Peace

I have spent the past two months working on a new show with Rasmus Nielsen. After completing the painting of Frantz Fanon and Christiansborg/Osu we decided that the process and the end product was so positive that we should try to make all of our work collaborative for the next show: A great idea, but a whole lot of work...


















































We decided to focus our work around the classical slogan "no justice - no peace"to highlight and explore, not only contemporary injustices, but also the resistance it provokes.

After finally finishing all of the pieces (two all-nighters, caffeine-addiction and beginning mental shutdown as the above images attest to) we got Jesper Spiegelberg to make a trailer for the exhibition.


The show opens next Friday (12. August 5 pm) at Arttra Gallery (Vesterbrogade 171, 2000 frb. C).
