TRANSPORTING
THE OEUVRE FROM MEDIA TO MEDIA (1989 - 1995)
Sport Art is born
Starting with the Danish newspaper Politiken, I publish a self-portrait
with my wife accompanied by a text announcing the birth of a
concept-group “Sport Art” and the score of our first soccer
competition. Later, I take this out of context and with the complicity
of the critic, Jan Kornum Larsen, decide to transport it into the
newspaper Weekend Avisen.
Then several years later after many attempts, I manage to have it
reframed in the magazine Torpedo, surrounded by another text (Karen
Westman).
The oeuvre travels from one mass media to another and becomes
framed by articles which appear like archeological strata, fossilizing
its past like the circles of a cut tree.
