Local artist, Camilla Berner has released a new book documenting her 2011 project Black Box Garden. The book is an English translation of the blog she kept during the run of the project.

Saturdays in Roskilde include a farmer’s market, shopping trips, and ice cream stops. This past Saturday was no different except it was also the ACTS 2014 performance festival, hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Art. Strange droning sounds, pop up performances, and repetitive motions happened around the city. For our contribution to the festival, Brett […]
I took a bicycle tour on Sunday to explore the edge of the city. In Copenhagen, you don’t have to go very far to find the edge. You can easily move from a busy street of apartments and cafes to a long stretch of road surrounded by empty lots and warehouses. This is the case […]
Happy New Year from the Mythological Quarter. We spent the first part of 2014 riding out the polar vortex in Southwest Florida. We are now back in Copenhagen and ready to bring you a new year of stories from our neighborhood, book reviews, information on projects we are working on, and […]

Fennovoima signs adorn public works in Pyhäjoki, like the fence of this sports field near the town’s high school where Case Pyhäjoki is taking place. The name […]
Oda Projesi is Özge Açıkkol, Güneş Savaş and Seçil Yersel. They are early pioneers of what is now called socially engaged art practice by many. Their collaboration began in a room in Istanbul in 2000. Seriously, their name translates as “Room Project” from Turkish. You can watch a talk given […]
Warm weather has brought a flurry of Søger Bolig [Seeking Apartment] fliers to the streets of our quarter. This activity is a complicated process that makes you think of dating services that brings complete strangers together in a semi-public/private manner. We hope to continue documenting these fliers and will work to understand some […]
