Still no keys
Anne-Sophie is back in London! My suitcase however is not with me. It never showed up at the airport. Luckily I made it into the flat and into the warm warm warmest of beds. Tomorrow I will start sketchbooking for the project...
Ugly duckling
In my search for H.C. Andersen fairytale-like-stuff I ran into this beautiful work by the artist Laura McKellar. She creates embroideries on fabric with digital prints, which results in a tactile effect without looking mismatched. These pieces are from the 'Once Upon' exhibition and based on the story of the ugly duckling. Watch and learn kids!
Pop-up porn
Awesome paper crafting going on here by the graphic designer Miya Saito and bookbinder Michele Chun. Each page becomes a sculptural artifact in a rigid 3D form when you flip the pages. Please notice the pink nails in the photos! Even more awesome. To see more porn and pink nails click here. It reminds me of this origami book I have at home on my shelf called 'Pornogami' where you can learn to fold paper and dollars into little naughty mini artworks. But don't be fooled - they are very difficult to make!! And for adults only of course..
Berlin
Happy New Year!! I celebrated mine with a bunch of kings & queens till early early morning meaning 2010 started off with 'sleep dept'. Anyways, hopefully this year is going to be full of crazy trips like this one and many other intriguing encounters... I'm excited!
Airborne
From Roskilde with love. Can't think of a more beautiful way to start a Tuesday morning than to be flying above the city of Copenhagen, below the clouds, on a plane with the winter sun massaging your cheeks. Lars and Frederik took us on a journey around Zealand including an amazing turn past Øresundsbroen. Round and round in circles we went! It brings a whole new sense of dimension when seeing everything you're so familiar with from above.
I am in Malmö
A freezing cold day in Sweden surrounded by the tempting word 'rea' on every shop window with Julie and her family. Queuing for nice cheap items doesn't feel that bad when you end up choosing beer from a selection of hundreds in the pub 'Bishop's Arms' at the end of the day. Vegetarian lasagne and a stuffed car. On a fold-out sleeping couch with Julie, Yoki tea and 'The girl who played with fire' in HD quality.
I am in Copenhagen
Here. Copenhagen. I have the sea in front of me. I am on an island. Tomorrow I will be gone. Tomorrow I will be on the other side. Tomorrow I am in Malmö.

Flying cubes
There is something I quite like about these contact sheets by J. Zachary Keenan with Caitlin Longley. Perhaps it is due to the fact that scale is undefinable? The cubes seem to weightlessly rest on the smokey clouds. A bombed townscape?
Grizzly Bear
I just want to run to an art shop to buy some Fimo when I see this video.. My New Years resolution is definitely going to be: Play with clay more often! The music and the movie are so well married. Its obsessive!

Figurines
Camden Arts Centre has opened up a new exhibition featuring the work of Eva Hesse and Katja Strunz. I went there with the Danish ladies the other day and was met by the objects and figurines of the Berlin-based artist Katja Strunz. She has turned found bits and bobs into instruments, giving the Turkish ashtrays and the hotel reception bells a new agenda, a new meaning and a new appeal. A lovely organised mess of a sound installation, resulting in some strange noises. Peculiar, yet intriguing.
Animagica Night
On the 17th of December I spent my evening in the beautiful candle-lit Shoreditch Church with people from Nexus Productions and several mulled wines to keep us warm on the wooden benches. The Icelandic Aniima played their instrumental sounds to Lotte Reiniger's animations of the two fairy tales 'The Sleeping Beauty' and 'Cinderella'. It was so great! If you don't know who this German filmmaker is please please check out her stuff. Her work is so inspiring and dates back to the 1920's. Her animations are the most influential on the film I am currently working on with Carolina Melis. It was such a perfect way of spending a snowy December evening!
The band 'Plaster of Paris' (photo below) warmed up and I am so happy I got to hear them play. I am in love with the singer's voice. Definitlely going to check them out! Notice the instrument on the screen. Key to their music.
Georgie and I decided to go to the Branchage Film Festival in Jersey. 4 days of what we experienced in a few hours - YES PLEASE.
