tattooing

1998

Some photos from the exhibition:

Some of the public at the opening day

They listened to fabulous music by a group from Christiania. *)

Some of Laurie Grundt's big paintings.

Some of Erik's greater tattoos were put on pedestals, and declared official works of art.

Torben Wendelin did some drumming on a shaman drum. With living art in the background.

They were singing and playing congas, didgeridoo and "beaverophone".
A beaverophone is made from sticks of wood that has been collected in the Swedish rivers, and has all been gnawed by Beavers - thus the name!
They were fantastic!

They are standing in front of two of Laurie's painting. The one is a very large satirical reproduction of a Danish 100 Kroner bill. Here it is called "100 ecuoner"
At the time it was painted there was a debate of whether to call the new European currency "ecu" or "Euro". The bill has not been issued by the Danish National Bank, but the "Danish Natonal Bank". The portrait is not the familiar one, but a female Nato soldier.
The painting contains several other satirical comments.
