BRIMHEIM - PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS FRANKA - ON A ROLL

Another The Triangle Project artist has gone from The Underground to Mainstream! It is Helena Heinesen Rebensdorff, who previously used the artist name "Franka" as her musical alterego. The name Franka came from her father names Frank, whereas her new name "Brimheim" is from her mother. The difference between the names, have also brought her to a whole new being, on many levels. As if she with this new famale energy have let go of her past, and moved in to a new more feminin future. Helena has also since her Triangle Project days, gone from Electronic Pop, to more Emo Indie Rock including herself on a raw guitar. 

As of late, she has been on Danish National Radio as "The weeks must song"

The main music magazine in Denmark sees her record release in 2021, as one of the most anticipated in Danish music.

One wonderful review after another in all the Danish music press.

Once the photos have been selected for the exhibition, they will be printed and shown
as part of the official program of the Copenhagen Photo Festival 2013 and featured in Snap Magazine.
The Final winner of the single best photo or a series of five photos, will win the latest iphone 5 with a one year free mobile phone account.

On June 13 ^th 17:00 – 19:00 at Fotografisk Center, there will be a paneldebate with Director of Fotografisk Center Kristine Kern as moderator. There will be three short presentations of photography relating to

CO2 E - RACE in New York at EXIT ART

AUTOTOPIA: Cars for a Better Tomorrow
April 8 - 30, 2011
Special Reception and CO2-Friendly Car Showcase on Sat., April 23 / 12-6pm

In celebration of Earth Day on April 22, Exit Art is pleased to announce a celebration of CO2-friendly cars through an exhibition that documents its erratic history and an CO2-friendly car showcase. AUTOTOPIA: CARS FOR A BETTER TOMORROW, a project of SEA (Social Environmental Aesthetics), focuses on the history of the electric car in connection with political and environmental factors that have revolutionized the methods and technologies of transit.

The first electric car (above), made over 100 years ago, was invented soon after the combustion engine vehicle (the kind of engines we use today) was developed as a new way of powering automobiles. Today, electric cars must be seen as serious alternatives to the gasoline powered-vehicles that are depleting fossil fuel supplies, polluting the environment, and exacerbating our dependence on foreign oil. Cars are now being designed to enhance our lives – through the integration of digital communication systems – and improve our future, by providing a solution to our energy crisis. Wireless Internet allows vehicles to connect and share data on traffic patterns, intelligently coordinating movements and keeping drivers connected to social networks. The reinvention of the automobile, and the infrastructures that make it possible, will not be easy – but it will be essential.

The "E" tag over Manhattan

 The "E" tag magically also turned into the Twin Towers when isolated. It was from them the initial energy into the project came from, in trying to find an answer to why they were brought down.

This exhibition coincides with Earth Day, and is organized concurrently with the CO2 E-Race, the culminating event of New York City’s Earth Day celebration. Initiated in 2008, the CO2 E-Race (A Race for Climate Awareness) increases public awareness of global climate changes using CO2-friendly cars as a way to spread the message. The New York E-Race is a parade of CO2-friendly cars through the streets of Manhattan; connected to GPS devices, their route can be tracked online and on the Toshiba jumbo screen in Times Square. The “E” shape formed by the parade draws attention to Earth Day and CO2-friendly cars as the future of transportation, encouraging the public to “erase” climate change.

Organized by Herb Tam, Associate Curator, and Lauren Rosati, Assistant Curator.

ELECTRIC CAR SHOWCASE - ONE DAY ONLY!

Saturday, April 23, 2011 / 12-6pm

Tesla Motors will be showing an electric, zero-emissions Orange Roadster, which gets 245 miles per charge and goes from 0 to 60mph in 3.7 seconds. A converted Electric DeLorean (above) will also be on view, along with a Biofueled (E85) driven Ford Fusion FFV from the Danish company Novozymes.

2pm: Jacob Fuglsang Mikkelsen, the organizer and artist behind the CO2 E-Race/CO2 Green Drive, will give a brief talk about the origins of the project and the environmental issues it seeks to address.

ABOUT SEA (Social Environmental Aesthetics)

SEA is a diverse multimedia exhibition program that addresses social and environmental concerns. It assembles artists, activists, scientists and scholars through presentations of visual art, performances, panels and lecture series that communicate international activities concerning environmental and social activism. It provides a vehicle through which the public can be made aware of socially- and environmentally-engaged work, and a forum for collaboration among artists, scientists, activists, scholars and the public. SEA functions as an initiative where individuals can join together in dialogue about issues that affect our daily lives. Conceived by Exit Art Co-Founder / Artistic Director Papo Colo.

Max's Kansas City - Art Imitating Life, Imitating Art - Curated by Jacob Fuglsang Mikkelsen

In the fall season of 2004, The exhibition called Max's Kansas City - Art Imitating Life, Imitating Art curated by Jacob Fuglsang Mikkelsen in collaboration with Yvonne Sewall Ruskin was shown at The Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, housed in the 13th Century Churh called Nikolaj in the center of Copenhagen. It was one of the first exchanges between Copenhagen and New York, as part of what later became The Triangle Project. The concept and shape of the Triangle had a large part in the design of the catalog that was designed in collaboration with Emilie Hasløv. The very fact that Dan Flavin's sculpture in the Red Back Room creates one large Triangle and two within itself is of course also of great inspiration. The above collage was created by Danish Graphic Designer Sten Jauer for Copenhagen's free newspaper called Citadel. Most of the images are taken by Anton Perich.

The Banana is the new cross! Anton Perich's lightbox of Warhol to the left and a print of Mich Jagger by Warhol to the right. The original Banana hanging above Warhol's head is one of the ones he made in connection to designing the LP cover for Velvet Underground and Nico and a photo by Billy Name also documented the moments when they were made

The Tiger Morse Golden Dress from behind, with a print of Candy Darling by Richard Bernstein to the left and Andy Warhol taking a polaroid of Anton Perich, who took the picture of him. And the Banana as the new cross.

The re-creation of the Back Room with an original Dan Flavin Red Neon Triangle Sculpture with video's by Anton Perich and Ira Schnider. The sound from the video was connected to a speaker where a mirror was glued to the membrane on top of the room. Onto this this mirror, a laser was shot from high up in the tower of the church and down throughout the exhibition with several mirrors, finally hitting the mirror when the music that was playing in a loop ("All Tomorrows Parties" most of the time) made the membrane move, making the green beam of light bounce up into the vaulted ceiling, where in the center there was a fish fresco sculpture that danced with the vibrating laser. It was a little hello! to Billy Name who is also a fish. The laser installation was inspired by Frosty Myers laser installation that he made at Max's, that shot out of his studio window, down through Park Avenue South and finally hitting a mirror that was glued to the speaker membrane of the Juke Box inside.

Anton Perich's paintings of Andrea "Whips" Feldman, Candy Darling and Cyrinda Foxe Tyler done with his painting machine. The video on the monitor is of the painting machine painting the very same paintings, shot by Anton Perich in his NYC studio.

The "Girl Eating a Banana Dress" was made as a tribute to the "Max's Kansas City exibition" by Ann Charlotte Vengsgaard and as a part of a fashion-line-up and interactive catwalk performance. Anton Perich's print was on the front of the dress and he signed it "live" on the back of the model Sabine, as a part of a happening produced on the "Copenhagen Night of Culture". The same Night that Frosty Myers installed his Pyramid Light Sculpture over the Nikolaj Church and Maya Albana performed music from her album "God Bless Education".

The above invitation for the 40th Anniversary event in 2005 held at the Hit Factory Studios that also houses Gibson Guitar Show Rooms. The project was also a fundraiser for Max's Kansas City Project, with an auction with art work by artists connected to Max's. The invite was designed by the Turkish artist and DJ Cansu Aybar, who is part of the  Istanbul Art Collective KOP ART. She was also later part of The Triangle Project as DJ Bang in both Istanbul and Copenhagen.
