0047 Rykk Tilbake Til Start - Return to Start!
92 artists show work from their starting pit as artists

curated by Jan Christensen

Academy work from 1993

In 1993, Within the three first months of the academy training we were pushed by our professor Duba Sambolec to show at least twice in the school white cube space.
At the time I was fascinated with similarly looking objects and different ways to organise them. I found 14 oldschool shoppingbags in a container and brought them to school. I interacted with the obejcts in the space for three days before showing the photographs for a grouptutorial in the actual space.

I called the project The Shoppingbag Experience

Rykk tilbake til start! is divided into six different shows, each open to the public for four days. Firmly established names as well as fresh-out-of-school artists are represented, and together with writers and designers they make a surprising combination of expressions. With keywords such as experiment, process, speed and quantity, Christensen has encouraged the participants to show their sources of inspiration, sketches, shelved projects, prototypes and new ideas – everything but finished, polished projects made for the white cube

In 2008 I choose to show these photos again, this time as documents of a 1993 performance
