VM's Skovbo - Home in the Forest

Subject: Skovbo - Home in the forest Sat May 03, 2008 1:31 am

This book functions as a partial companion to the upcoming photo exhibit , also titled Skovbo, by Viggo Mortensen at the Reykjavik Museum of Photography (Ljósmyndasafn Reykjavikur), opening on 31st May, 2008 and running until 31st August, 2008. In this new collection of images and poems are trees and the memory of trees, ghosts, words, nights, days, lives, deaths, and safe haven for them all in the place where "...the twigs become branches, / And the mist becomes make-believe..." (Osip Emilyevich Mandelstam). If you daren't enter the forest, or cannot find it, then perhaps you might find one tree, or a place where a tree could be, and just stop for a quiet moment to see what happens.

My message disappeared! I'll try again!

Thank you very much, Niki!

And the same exhibition will come to Roskilde/Denmark in October (October 18th till November 16th). 18. okt. Fernisering - Viggo Mortensen og Årets Nordeakunstner = Opening of the exhibition - V. M. and the Nordea artist of the year (Nordea is a Danish bank which is the sponsor to the exhibition).

Here is the link to the Danish exhibition:

Click on "Udstillinger"/"udstillingskalender"/"2008" and you will find it.

Roskilde is situated around 30 kms west of Copenhagen. Here you can find trains/busses from Copenhagen (or somewhere else) to Roskilde (even directly from Copenhagen Airport (Kastrup).

Just click on DE for German and UK for English languages. Then it's more easy for you to understand the travel plan.

Perhaps see you in Roskilde in October - November!

Why isn't there a black background behind Aithnes message so I'll be able to read what you/she write(s)? And why is you message written out to the right in a long and narrow message, Afrodita. It looks strange!

I am trying to fix thread.

Note: I think I succeeded. Vigs, there was a string of code in your post that was doing it. Not to worry. I fixed it and so your post is a bit modified. But all the information is still there. I think the code came from a glitch in the software it was nothing you did.

If this happens again, I'll know what to do next time. Very Happy

Thank you so much, Kal! I had so very much trouble to try to get rid of the stupid code in the top of my message. I couldn't get it away. I'm glad we got the background back again.
