New Canadian adventure

Planning my next adventure with Senator Philip Ozouf...the North-Atlantic cod fisheries in The Gaspe Peninsula, Canada where Jersey firms in the 17th, 18th & 19th centuries administered merchant capital flow of exotic commodities as a blueprint for a future offshore island finance industry. Interestingly enough, it was a Jersey Banking crisis in the 1880s that ended the very profitable transatlantic trade...another excellent example of Jersey operating as an Entrepôt. 

Financial support towards travel costs from Jersey Arts Trust greatly appreciated! @JerseyArtsTrust @philipozouf @archisle1

Exhibition talk at Øksnehallen

'My idiosyncratic performance during 78 days across the European landscape is an inquiry into distance - the journey itself. It is the existence of the journey, and not the essence of the destination. Kosovo is not the subject of my work but a mere stop to my journey. My position is akin to that of a passer-by constantly trying to situate himself in a moving environment. Each intervention is another fragment of the story that is being invented and a challenge to the narrative and economic structure of Western representation. A movement through images and the memory of them experienced in a non-chronological, non-linear way.'

A conversation with Jens Olof Lasthein and myself begins in 30 mins about our work from the Balkan region and beyond at Øksnehallen

Street Photography 1917-2017 - A Tribute to the Everyday

We are open...In Copenhagen  #gadefotografi #enhyldesttilhverdagen#oeksnehallen #dgibyen

INTERVENTIONS - A walk across Europe to Kosovo

This installation explores the notion of communication, not only as a visual language, but communication as a set of relationships between art and life, war and peace, spectator and creator, memory and language. Thinking it as a long-distance phone call - trying to make sense of the other receiver's non-sense, replacing the phone with organic, singular activity - the installation is in effect a documentation of a man alone walking through Europe to Kosovo. The walk is not to make sense out of something seemingly senseless. French contemporary thinker, Jean-Luc Nancy, has already written that the Sense of the World has come to an end.

INTERVENTIONS in a major new summer exhibition in Copenhagen

In 1999 I decided to walk to war. INTERVENTIONS - is a performance of a man walking alone through Europe to Kosovo and the installation of photography, video and found objects will be included in a major summer exhibition Gadefotografi 1917 - 2017 – en hyldest til hverdagen (Street Photography – A Tribute to Everyday Life) at Øksnehallen in Copenhagen featuring over 80 international artists representing 100 years. It was last exhibited at Platformen, Museet for Fotokunst in Odense, Denmark in 2000.

The exhibition officially opens on Tue 27 June in the evening and it would be good to see 'old' friends from back home. There is also an exciting programme of talks and other events during the opening first week, and I will be doing a special presentation of our ongoing project, MASTERPLAN - A Visual Record of Finance on Wed 28 June and later in the evening will be in conversation with Jens Olof Lasthein about our work on show.
