  BABEL TALES ADDENDUM – a solo exhibition by Peter Funch

  Opening reception: Friday May 7. From 17 – 22.

  Exhibition period: May 8. – May 29. 2010.

  Babel Tales Addendum marks an end and a beginning. Peter Funch’s 4 year long exploration of the streets of New York has reached its conclusion and the exhibition unveils the result: 41 monumental panoramic works.

  The pictorial symphony Babel Tales forms a landmark in Peter Funch’s artistic career. The series consolidates his almost anthropological ability to create patterns in the world’s haphazardness. Simultaneously this exhibition emphasizes his desire to challenge the beholder’s notion of “reality” and “fiction”.

  Babel Tales focus on human relations and interaction in a metropolis. Through repetition and juxtaposition Funch investigates human similarities and collective behavior, creating a strange, poetic and detailed picture of our presence as both individuals and communities in the public sphere. His uncanny works raise questions of reality contra fiction, and they challenge the notion of photography as being a depiction of a certain moment in time. Funch’s works are documents of moments that never existed, as they are composed of thousands of frozen moments taken over the duration of several weeks for each work. By shooting at the exact same position over a period of time, Funch is able to superimpose images, and he hereby creates a fictional work based on documentary photography.

  This is illustrated in the work ‘Observing Observers’, where a crowd in a street in unison orient themselves towards a certain location outside the frame of the picture. As the title of the picture implies the viewer beholds a group of observers, but it is uncertain what these observers are observing. Upon reflection one understands, however, that it is also uncertain what oneself is observing?

  Since the preliminary exhibition Babel Tales, consisting of 16 works, appeared at V1 Gallery’s smaller space in Absalonsgade, 2007, both Peter Funch and the gallery has moved on to conquer new territory. But the fascination with art and its ability to capture and challenge life remains the same. In addition, Babel Tales Addendum allows us to peek into the artist’s laboratory with a series of new works exploring different perspectives of the Babel Tales series. The new Addendum works reflect Funch’s curiosity for the stories he finds and the stories he creates. Same curiosity is both the origin and the catalyst for the project.

  The title, Babel Tales, is a reference to the story of the Babel Tower, and it also pays homage to the writer Paul Auster and his New Yorker stories City of Glass and Auggie Wren’s Christmas Story.

  In conjunction with the exhibition opening a limited edition book containing the complete Babel Tales series will be released.

  Peter Funch, 1974, was born in a small town in a rural area of Denmark. He has lived and worked in New York City for the past 5 years. A new commissioned series of large-scale works “Danish Diaries” will be unveiled at the Danish Pavilion, designed by Bjarke Ingels (BIG), for EXPO 2010 in Shanghai. If you find yourself in Copenhagen in May, you can experience several of the Danish Diaries works in public spaces as part of the Copenhagen Photo Festival. Last summer Funch was chosen as artist of the year for the prestigious Dutch public art project Dream Amsterdam. He also received Palle Fogtdals Photo Prize in Denmark.

• NORSE PROJECTS X HIDEOUT X BARBARIAN PREVIEW

  May 5th 10, 8:43

  

  Here is the first teaser of the Norse Projects x Hideout x Barbarian Co-lab releasing May 14th exclusively at London’s  Hideout store and the Norse store in Copenhagen.

  Late last year Norse Projects took contact to one of our favorite partners and personal friends, Michael Kopelman of Hideout in London regarding teaming up to create a unique item together. After thinking for a while Michael came up with the idea to make a real rugby shirt, in the best possible quality. This meant that teaming up with  a genuine rugby gear manufacturer was esential
  After researching the rugby market we decided to work with Canadia-  based Barbarian Rugby Wear to produce a small line of polos designed for and by Norse Projects and Hideout.

  Barbarian has been producing the finest custom made rugby shirts since 1981 made for genuine rugby players using only fibers of North American orgin.

  Technical info about the shirts:

  - Underarm reinforcing patches sewn with a zigzag-stitch for added durability.

  - Rubber buttons for safety are attached with a cross stitch.

  - Placket protected by 4 pieces of heavyweight cotton herringbone tape, assembled with single- needle lockstitch precision.

  - Collar is 8.5-ounce twill, triple-stitched with 3/4″ reinforcing tape for extra strength.

  - Semicircular reinforcing patch at the back of the neck.

  - Overlocked seams with large bite using heavy-duty thread at twelve stitches to the inch

  - Two bar tacks prevent placket from gaping open.

  - Shirt bottoms are finished with two-needle cover seam stitch to provide full drape and prevent turn over.

  - Lycra® plaited seamless cuffs attached with two-needle overlock stitch for exceptional shape retention.

  - Full-cut tapered sleeve for maximum comfort.

• COPENHAGEN PARTS HANDLEBAR

  April 27th 10, 9:58

  

  Our good friends and neighbours from Goodmorning Technology  just created this new very handy handlebar for racing and track bikes.

  The Bike Porter is made from heat-treated alloy tubing and rod, making it lightweight and robust..  It’s designed to attach to the stem easily, installing just like any normal handlebar and can be attached to any bicycle using a two part stem (A-head stem).

  Old-school basket weave is fine if that’s your thing, but what real choice is there if you care about how your bike looks, and your style is more urban than country cottage? What if you ride a stylish single-speed but you also want to carry bags and groceries? Our response? The Bike Porter.

  The Bike Porter combines cool aesthetics with practical function without corrupting the clean, simple lines of your ride.

  By integrating the basket into the handlebar, the Bike Porter offers a sublime transport option which works as part of your bike as well as introducing an evolution in style.

  The handlebar will be available from select retailers workwide soon.

• WILL I GO TO HELL FOR THIS

  April 17th 10, 6:56

  

  Tomorrow is the release party for the long awaited book “Will I Go To Hell For This” about 25 years of subway graffiti in Copenhagen. Sunday the 17th from 15.00 – 18.00 at Lygten (Nørrebro Station) in Copenhagen.

  Will I Go To Hell For This is a new Danish book from three dedicated authors about graffiti on the Copenhagen S-trains from 1984 to 2009. After more than two years of work, more than 75 interviews and after selecting over 600 photos, the final result is a book that gives an overview of 25 years of Copenhagen S-train graffiti and offers the reader a rare glimpse into the hidden world of the graffiti writers. To cater for both the local Danish audience and the international graffiti community, the book comes in two versions, one with Danish text and another version with English text.

  The hardcover book contains 264 high quality, full color pages filled with great photographs, informative text and exciting quotes. The title, Will I Go To Hell For This, refers to a piece painted by Rens in 1993, Rens also supplied the logo and foreword in the book. The subject of Copenhagen S-train graffiti is divided into 14 chapters, ranging from graffiti terms such as Panels, Window-downs, Wholecars, Bombing and Insides to more broad chapters like History, The Life, Yards, Tourists and Resistance.
