Visions
Abya Yala was an encounter for indigenous peoples and organizations
from the Americas. It took place from August 3rd to 12th 1996. The
aim was to establish an international and in particular a European
platform for the Indian peoples. Copenhagen, as the Cultural Capital
of Europe '96 was able to provide that space. |

Next Stop
Soviet was a gigantic project in the fall of 1989, when more than
2.500 youngsters from Scandinavia travelled to the Soviet Union in
order to establish personal partnerships and help tearing down the
Iron Curtain. Besides more than 100 single projects, we got away with
a satellite transmitted rock concert in Moscow, a cultural event train
trough several republics and a 3 days' festival on 13 stages in Gorky
Park. A year later the Soviet Union was history. |

Vingeskudt (broken winged) is a CD, recorded in 1994 by
Bosnian refugees in Denmark.
In times of chaos, tragedy and displacement, culture is often the
only anchor in a person's life.
Culture can help people survive apparently hopeless situations and
maybe mobilize focused energy. Culture gives and preserves identity.
This is of vital relevance, considering that our guests from abroad,
after years of waiting must get used to the thought of repatriating
and rebuilding their torn apart country.

C & C was a 5 stories department store in Copenhagen,
filled with exotic merchandise. This success was to be exported
to Hamburg/Germany. A colleague and I were sent to my hometown to
develop a concept and find an untraditional building. Vi found a
former ammunition factory that had it's top bombed off during World
War 2. The project folder was a piece of lobbyism towards local
authorities.

Quote from a campaign newspaper of March
10th 1986:
Sneaking genocide.
11.000 Indians are relocated by force.
The biggest help will be international media attention.
The US Government is exploiting the Indian nations by all means. At
Big Mountain, the holy land of the Navahos, the underground holds
the largest resources of coal, uranium and platinum in Northern America.
Unfortunately, 11.000 Navahos are in the way for the extraction

In the fall 1977, I was ask to renovate
one of Christianias bigger industrial premises of 600 sqm. The space
was then filled up with car wrecks and these were stashed with stolen
goods and hashish.
In spite of my bold naivety, I managed to clear the premises without
getting in trouble with the owners of the hot merchandise. We needed
money to mend several hundreds of broken window glasses. With the
help of good friends we held a big charity concert where I debuted
as an event maker. Today, the so-called Energy Workshop is specialising
in all kinds of metal works.
