Art - losts of it!!!

For the second saturday in a row Kasper and I have been to Odense to see a lot of art. Last week we visited "Brandts Klædefabrik" (Website: www.brandts.dk) that is situated in the middle of Odense. A fantastic place that we can only recommend, if you visit Funen and Odense. They change their excibitions many times a year and we saw a mexican photografer, Graciela Iturbide, artwork from graduates and a lot of originals made by the danish artist/painter Arne Ungermann, who has made drawings to school books and a lot of (in DK) well-known posters. There was also a very big excibition with paintings of Olav Christopher Jenssen, an internationally acclaimed Norwegian artist.

But it isn't only the excibitions that are impressing. Brants Klædefabrik is in itself a special place. And there is the most amazing view from the second floor. Above you can see a big stage (underneeth the steel skeleton) build just outside the entrance.

This picture is also showing the steel skeleton. I was impressed by the light on the buildings on the other side.

This saturday we went to "Fyns Kunstmuseum", because we saw they had an excibition called "Nuet" ("The Now") that looked interesting. It was installations, sculptures, drawings and paintings by Thorbjørn Lausten. My God he was difficult to understand. Still not sure I got an accurate picture of what he means, but he is one of the leading ligth artists in and outside Denmark. They also had a collection of female artists - the permanent excibition is only men!! Outside the museum we met this lovely lady.

The museum is a very beautiful building like many buildings in Odense.

We also visited a little boutique with different art. One of the owners made a lot of the paintings herself (www.annemuff.dk). I think they are very good. Nice colours and funny motives. Check it out.

One of our orkids is blooming. Beautiful! It is the first time we see it bloom.

And then there are ours chilies. They are huge. The "Early jalapeno" has two fruits - or rather had, because we ate one today. It still isn't strong enough, but it will be. Both plants have lots of flowers, which means lots of fruits. We are looking for different receipies all the time to be ready, when we start swimming in them.

And then we have a new recident - a blackbird! So shortly there will be even more bird talk in our garden (pip pip)!!
