DANIEL KUNITZ: KIRSTINE ROEPSTORFF'S COLLAGE
|
|
'Collage is just like walking in the forest or in a city. You have houses, you have trees, but you don't walk into the houses or the trees, you navigate according to the defined measures...you walk in between in the yet undefined...I care mostly about what is going on in between-this is where I see the dynamics...It's partly why collage is so convenient for me, because I have all the images: they're your images, they're our images, everybody's, and I make them relate to each other.'

JACOB HOLDT AT LOUISIANA MUSEUM OF MODERN ART, DENMARK
|
|
Opening today is a major exhibition by Danish photographer Jacob Holdt who has made the US his subject for the last 40 years. Holdt has lived as a vagabond with America's poorest, hobnobbed with the Kennedys, spent time in black ghettos and amongst white hate groups. The 200 photographs in this show present an extraordinary visual account of America's underclass.

JACOB AUE SOBOL ON HIS EXHIBITION AT THE MUSEUM PHOTOGRAPHIC ART, ODENSE
|
|
I came to Tokyo for the first time in the spring of 2006. It was a society I had never experienced before, one of which I had little knowledge and to which I had no real sense of relationship. Initially I felt invisible. Each day I would walk the streets without anyone making eye-contact with me. Everyone seemed to be heading somewhere - it was as if they had no need for communication.

LAST CHANCE: PETER RUNE CHRISTIANSEN AT HELEN NYBORG CONTEMPORARY, COPENHAGEN
|
|
Helene Nyborg Contemporary's show of new paintings by young Danish artist Peter Rune Christiansen closes on 13 October and if you're in Copenhagen it's definitely worth a visit. Inspired by the geological and archaeological word 'stratigraphy', Christiansen's paintings are in their own way a stratigraphic examination of time, an examination of how sound arises on canvas and an examination of romantic painting.

DEBUT: LARS WORM AT HELENE NYBORG, VALBY, DENMARK
|
|
For his first solo show the young Danish artist Lars Worm presents a selection of sculptural works often made by objects found in nature alongside manufactured wood. This combination of materials accentuates the dualism between "natural" and "fake" which is central to the humour in Worm's work. His "kitschy" approach to the concept of nature initiates a discussion of what is natural and how nature is defined.

YUJI WATABE AT HELENE NYBORG, VALBY, DENMARK
|
|
The ambiguity of appearances is one of the lurking themes in Yuji Watabe's series of photo-drawings: gossamer-like visions of mysterious young women in and out of anonymous forest woods, currently showing at Helene Nyborg's gallery in Valby, Denmark.
