CONTEMPORARY ART MAGAZINE SINCE 1980 More... located in the heart of the picturesque historic center of Dragør the visitor is greeted by a suspended atmosphere where natural light merges sublimely with the works of Laura Theresia Koehler nestled between cobbled streets and a peaceful harbor becomes the ideal setting for an exhibition that explores the delicate boundary between tangible reality and the transcendent evoking the philosophical reflections of artists like James Turrell and Olafur Eliasson who investigate the perception of light and space Koehler brings a distinctive artistic language to her works rooted in abstract expressionism and European modernism yet distinguished by her personal exploration of acrylics and oils on canvas while maintaining a vibrant and material surface where the simplicity and repetition of colors become a vehicle for universal emotions Her compositions play with the layering of chromatic elements creating a dynamic and luminous spatiality transforming them into inner landscapes filled with tension and vitality The solar luminosity that permeates the exhibition Apples of the Sun becomes not just a formal element but an invitation to explore the nuances of perception evoking the visual power of masters like Wassily Kandinsky who used blue to evoke metaphysical dimensions The title of the exhibition leads us to confront the essence of light and its mysterious force themes that have always been at the center of artistic and philosophical reflection while maintaining a tangible connection to the figurative stand out for their chromatic boldness and the intertwining of lines that create fluid and eclectic structures The canvases are not mere representations of nature traversed by powerful energy and warmth that seems to radiate from within becomes the thread that connects every form solar chromaticism defines the structure of the work The artist has stated that she does not plan the compositions in advance but allows the forms to emerge spontaneously during the creative process a moment taking shape before the artist’s eyes This ongoing interplay between spontaneity and control becomes one of the distinguishing features of her work define spaces and movements that constantly engage with light the artist succeeds in conveying intense energy without ever sacrificing visual clarity There is a continuous tension between the organic flow of shapes and the structure of color contrasts between the intensity of tones and the delicacy of transitions “Wasserfall im Mondlicht” (“Moonlight Waterfall”) A recurring element in this series is the translucent water droplet In contrast to the intensity of the chromatic hues and solar radiation that characterize the scene the droplet creates a sense of dreamlike stillness as if we are observing a crystallized moment it reminds us of the fleeting nature of the present and the inevitable passage of time lending the works a meditative quality that invites reflection on the eternity and impermanence of life themes also found in Heidegger’s philosophical reflections on “finite time” The artist’s technical mastery imbues her canvases with a glow where colors appear ready to expand and envelop the surrounding space The flat surfaces seem to reflect light in an almost digital manner This balance between visual precision and the perception of movement allows the viewer ample room for interpretation “Der blühende Berg” (“The Blooming Mountain”) At the heart of the exhibition lies Der blühende Berg (The Blooming Mountain) a work that embodies the artist’s poetics: the tones overlap in intense layers evoking the vitality and continuous transformation of nature The title itself suggests an impetuous growth a blooming that goes beyond the botanical plane to reveal an inner dimension as if the landscape were the extension of the artist’s soul does not merely appear as a source of light but takes on the role of a generative principle This approach connects to the concepts of art as transformation found in the works of modernist artists such as Giacomo Balla or the metaphysical work of Giorgio de Chirico in which the landscape reflects a psychological dimension Siebenfarbige Erde (Seven-coloured Earth) presents itself as a serial work consisting of five limited-edition prints (2023) which testify to the artist’s ability to interpret the same solar appeal in multiple works the stratification of pigments is more contained and subtle as if it were holding the echo of time: the shades overlap like sediments recalling the memory engraved in the earth This work can be seen as a reflection on the concept of sedimentation and time that permeates many of the deeper works luminous energy is not only a central theme but a silent presence that interacts with space and time The light merges with the serenity of water creating a balance between the radiating power and the calm it suggests Lively forms alternate with spaces of tranquility evoking an ongoing dialogue between humanity and nature Each brushstroke becomes an invitation to reflect on the deep connection between the physical and metaphysical worlds a constant tension between vital energy and its manifestation in the world is not only the container for this visual experience but becomes part of the dialogue between light with their ability to evoke a reality suspended between perception and imagination intertwine with the surrounding environment transforming the gallery into a place where painting is not only observed but lived art does not merely represent but becomes the vehicle for a broader reflection on time and the constant oscillation between the visible and the invisible not just an exhibition but an invitation to reconsider how light and color shape our perception of the world She graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Catania she has experienced various arts including sculpture and the latter one became the springboard for her eclectic and innovative artistic path she approached the art curatorial world and started to write reviews and critical texts; later she founded “Artisti Italiani – arti visive e promozione” an organisation which deals with all the promotional aspects of contemporary art Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" ASSOCIAZIONE JULIET – via Battisti 19/a – 34015 Muggia (TS)

major, spent Winter 2021 studying abroad on the DIS Copenhagen program DK – I took a train up to Hillerod about an hour from Copenhagen to explore Fredriksborg Slot (Castle) On my way back to the train I snapped this photo in front of a bakery on the main street DK – My roommate and I in a spur of the moment decision one day decided to bike down to Dragor which was over an hour away by bike It is an adorable little town filled with bright yellow houses You can’t see it from this photo but from the docks you could look out at Malmo While the trip was quite beautiful the bike back to Copenhagen definitely left us with tired legs DK – During my visit to Hillerod I visited Fredriksborg Slot While on my trip I was taking a class in watercoloring so I took this time to just sit and paint It did become quite challenging when my paints began to freeze due to the temperature outside Amalienborg – During our first trip out after quarantine we stopped by Amalienborg which is the official residence of the Danish royal family It is a beautiful building which you can see from all around the surrounding area It is fun to come watch the changing of the guards in this square Kings Garden (Kongens Have)- For another water color assignment I took this picture to paint at Kongens Superkilen Park – Superkilen is in Nørrebro which is considered the cool There is a skate park and chess boards but this swing really caught my eye while I explored the area Deer Park – North of Copenhagen is Deer Park which is exactly what it sounds like In this large outdoor area there are deer wandering everywhere You would wander along a path and see herds of deer sitting right next to you The Forgotten Giants – Throughout and around Copenhagen there are these large wooden giants There are 6 total hidden in beautiful natural areas My friends and I went on an exploration to find them all one day Unfortunately we only made it to 4 of them before we ran out of gas Nyhavn – Nyhavn is perhaps the most well known location in Copenhagen The brightly painted buildings really emphasize the culture and feeling the Denmark gives off Despite the cold weather everything is bright and colorful For our Renewable Energy Systems class we were asked to visit Copenhill a large man made ski hill that doubles as a heat and power waste plant If you look to the horizon in Copenhagen you can see this structure from in the city We drank hot chocolate and marveled at the fearlessness of the skiers on the slope Geology in New Zealand with Sebastian Forero Escovar '25 507-222-4000 Sign In It

The pursuit of wild food has become so fashionable a subject in the past few years that one eater.com blogger called this the era of the “I Foraged with René Redzepi Piece.” Redzepi is the chef of Noma, in Copenhagen (otherwise known as the best restaurant in the world). More to the point, he is the acknowledged master scavenger of the Nordic coast. I’ll admit it. I wanted to forage with Redzepi, too. Copy link to cartoonCopy link to cartoonLink copied I made Paterson’s risotto for dinner that night, along with a roast chicken and the crespina leaves, sautéed for a minute, like baby spinach, in olive oil and a sprinkling of red-pepper flakes; the spines wilted into a tasty crunch. The next night, I chopped my fronds of wild fennel and used them to stuff a pork roast. When I called Paterson to say how good everything was, he told me, “Free food! There’s nothing like it. It always tastes better.” “It was much nicer before people started storing all their personal information in the cloud.”Copy link to cartoonCopy link to cartoonLink copied “Thanksgiving is politically incorrect, turkey is politically incorrect, yams with marshmallow fluff are politically incorrect—and disgusting.”Copy link to cartoonCopy link to cartoonLink copied “Welcome aboard, Withers.

It is well-known that Copenhagen boasts a rich cycling culture and any guide book will tell you about its charming canals and narrow streets to grasp the feel of a city before standing there on your own two feet For Paris-based photographer Laura Stevens the sense of calm in Copenhagen was particularly striking “Everything seems peaceful here,” she writes in a journal entry reflecting on her first day in the Danish capital “There is a distinct lack of aggression or paranoia Postcards from Copenhagen marks Stevens first time in Copenhagen the photographer chose to explore the city by foot nature is right on your doorstep,” she says or open air harbour baths – is never further than a 15 minute walk away people are able to disconnect from the stress and busyness of everyday life and find peace and solitude within the environment,” says Stevens “Being close to water allows for that.” Stevens’ approach to the commission was distinctively observational She looked for poignant moments: the perfect light a certain positioning of a limb or a flyaway wisp of hair upon noticing a certain flicker of light; tramples upon brambles; and edges down muddy water banks Preferring the soft natural light of the mornings and evenings each day of the commission Stevens was up at dawn and photographing until dusk “I always find it difficult to shoot in full sunshine,” she writes in her journal The photographer was eager to document Copenhagen beyond what first meets the eye: capturing moments and details often hidden from an outsider’s view. On her first day, Stevens found herself in several of the city’s “immaculately kept” parks She discovered lakes graced with majestic swans and flowerbeds nothing short of pristine “The scenes are idyllic,” Stevens writes in her journal “however it was too much of an obvious cliché Stevens’ curious approach – an innate desire to discover and experience first-hand – is also evident in how she explored Copenhagen While she pinpointed certain locations of interest ahead of the trip during the commission the photographer relied greatly on serendipity On the second day this particularly came to the fore “I got on a train heading to Amager early in the morning; to the beach I go,” writes Stevens How strange it is to not understand anything The words so long and impossible to remember.” The subjects of Steven’s photographs also evolved as the trip went on While water remained a consistent theme throughout the way in which Stevens captured people’s interaction with it changed “I thought I was going to be up close and in front of people,” says Stevens who took several intimate portraits at the beginning of the trip before changing tact “I have taken a more distant approach to photographing people because I want to capture them as they are in nature without disturbing them too much.” On the second day Stevens reveals her concern about not having approached enough individuals: “Still not enough up close portraits,” she writes Walking across the city mostly by foot, during the four days she spent in Copenhagen Stevens observed the city’s water in all its forms – beaches “I started to feel an envy towards this calmer “Why aren’t all cities built this way?” It was not until the latter half of the trip that it occurred to Stevens that she should experience the water for herself “I should have jumped in yesterday but I will make it my challenge.” Stevens is back in Paris reflecting on the commission: “On the third day I got into the water at Dragør baths,” she says “It was in the female only section and there were two ladies and a cat present (he lives there in the summer and only has one eye) I stripped off and stayed in for approximately 30 seconds I then dried off in the sunshine and carried on photographing.” Last year, BIG completed Mountain Dwellings (winner of the Building of the Year 2009 Award under the Housing category), showing us new approaches to a complex typology.

One of them is wearing a French army helmet A group of high school students from the southern Macedonian town of Bitola is using photo collages to revive local memories of the First World War Fast forward to 2017, high school students who participated in a project enabling kids from several cities to learn more about the period prepared an exhibition of photographs of Bitola then and now They juxtaposed the photos of their city taken in 1917 or 1918 with the actual sites today The resulting photographs show how Bitola has changed in 100 years. They drew much social media attention after some of them were published on Bored Panda Displaying of collages combining old photos in new context The overall project included diverse student groups from Skopje who together with their peers in Bitola participated in workshops based on peace-building methodology and explored the old battlegrounds through field visits Each group then chose different methods to show what they've learned Teaching young people about the horrors experienced by ordinary people in previous wars enables them to become active agents in preventing new conflicts.

the village is the original settlement of Dutch farmers in the country They were tasked with providing produce for the Danish Royal Court at the time headed by King Christian II.  Her Majesty and Her Royal Highness will arrive at Amager Museum to open the exhibition ‘Amager’s private treasures’ a display of objects belonging to citizens of Amager that pays tribute to the local history with a particular focus on Dutch immigration Margrethe and Beatrix will visit the exhibition ‘500 years of Dutch history on Amager’ which showcases traditional costumes and home furnishings helping the public to understand how life on the island was back in 1521 when the first Dutch settlement was created The two exhibitions will be followed by a demonstration of Shrovetide – a traditional festival celebrated in the period before lent by decorating and riding horses The last event of the day will be a visit to the Seerup Hansen family farm currently owned and operated by the 18th generation of Dutch farmers directly descending from the first Dutch people to arrive on the island The farm currently grown vegetables and flowers with both traditional and contemporary organic techniques and is often hosting school children and chefs.  highlighting the importance of the Dutch-Danish links in the farming sector links that continue to this day with successes in creating a more sustainable and greener agricultural sector in both countries.  took part in the celebrations for the 400th anniversary of the first Dutch settlement in Denmark back in 1971 So if one of Iceland’s perfect eleven should accidentally lose a leg or a head (other than Aron Einar we might need some young reinforcements to send into the fray Introducing: the stripling warlords Heimir selected as the Guardians of the Bench Not be confused with his namesake—an American paleontologist and founder of the “Crustacean Issues” journal—Danish-Icelandic substitute keeper Frederik Schram is the Iceland squad’s only “Notsson.” He has been Iceland’s chief bench-defender since 2015 bravely acting as the rearguard while half-man-half-giant Hannes Halldórsson takes care of the on-pitch heroics He has made five senior appearances for Iceland The 6’6” “Demon of Dragør” will be hoping to break into the side should Hannes “Wild Claws” falter or fall Making up 33.3% of the “Guardians of Iceland” triumvirate Rúnar Alex Rúnarsson is to his defence what crampons are to the pedestrians of Reykjavík The son of Iceland legend and record appearance holder Rúnar Kristinsson comfortable both with the ball at his feet and the opposition forwards’ self-esteem in his pocket though—as any international manager will tell you about goalkeeping reinforcements—“The Snow Leopard” is a good lad Whispers from the Iceland World Cup camp have suggested that Rúnar is so selfless he has been throwing games of FIFA to senior players in the hope of enhancing the group’s winning mentality Sverrir Ingi Ingason has been playing football since the age of four He started out proper via the Breiðablik youth system—a gruelling war camp that has produced seasoned champions like Gylfi Sigurðsson Alfreð Finnbogason and Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson A former captain of the Iceland U21 youth side “The Kneecapper” has his eyes on ascending the pecking order should Iceland’s ageing central shield-wall pairing of old warhorse Kári Arnason (35) and Ragnar Sigurðsson (31) start to wobble Ari’s capacity for empathy is so impaired that he has been ordered by every club he has ever played for to train barefoot as a safety precaution this does not prevent biting and he has already taken 23 “trophies.” The attacking full-back’s thirst for the blood of his enemies is even more insatiable;

Strikes which go ahead without approval from unions are not permitted under the agreements They are commonly referred to as “wildcat strikes” Union-approved strikes can occur in situations in which bargaining negotiations between the union and employers’ organisations break down they are considered part of negotiation tactics The fine issued by the Labour Court on Thursday totals as much as 1.2 million kroner and corresponds to 50 kroner per hour for unskilled refuse collectors and 56 kroner per hour for skilled workers according to the trade union publication Fagbladet 3F The hourly rate means the fine will increase throughout the day on Friday Their trade unions earlier advised they should not continue the walkout Refuse collectors have stepped away from their duties this week over a conflict with Amager Ressourcecenter (ARC) the company which operates waste disposal facilities in Copenhagen including the Amager Bakke incinerator sloping building which can be seen from most of the southern part of the city The company is set to become the collectors’ employer as Copenhagen Municipality takes over refuse collection businesses in the city from private subcontractors This means the workers will become employees of the public-owned ARC They oppose working conditions which could apply to them following the transition on September 1st the grievance is related to a change of
