  • Top Indian Fashion Designers Exhibit in Denmark
    Top Indian Fashion Designers Exhibit in Denmark INDIA : FASHION NOW Exhibition period: 18th August 2012 – 13th January 2013 “Now it’s all about India” – that’s how clearly the great German designer Karl Lagerfeld put it in 2012 when he launched his Metier d’Art collection for the fashion empire Chanel. And that’s what it’s all about at the Danish contemporary art museum ARKEN in the period 18th August – 13th January. In the museum’s first fashion exhibition INDIA : FASHION NOW, ARKEN Museum of Modern Art takes a close look at seven Indian fashion designers, all of whom have positioned themselves centrally on the international fashion scene. “The Indian fashion creators are leaving their imprint everywhere in the international fashion world. You see Katy Perry and Oh Land in star designer Manish Arora’s playful creations, Lady Gaga in Little Shilpa’s sculptural designs and Naomi Campbell on the catwalk in Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s fantastic dresses. It’s a veritable cornucopia of spectacular and breathlessly beautiful creations that the seven Indian designers are presenting in ARKEN’s exhibition,” says the museum’s director Christian Gether. Every one of the seven designers has been hand-picked for the exhibition and is part of the pace-setting Indian fashion scene that has grown up since the end of the nineties. These are designers who challenge and experiment with the traditional Indian garment culture. They transform Indian fashion through sophisticated stylistic experiments and develop the framework for what Indian fashion can be. With them they have some unique traditions of craftsmanship which they introduce into an international context and thus create a new, exciting idiom which elegantly or teasingly builds a bridge between the local and the global, between past and present.

    Telepoem Booth® NMHU by © Elizabeth Hellstern 2019 Collection of the New Mexico Arts Division Art in Public Places Program. TELEPOEM BOOTH® NMHU FULL TEXT Aronson, Rebecca Dear Gravity [On the trampoline my son and I].....................................(505) 276-3327 Dear Gravity, On the trampoline my son and I try to bounce each other over. We throw ourselves up to come down hard. We soar until we fall laughing and breathless to the surface. We fail to defy you over and over and that is the game. We are bodies making room for ourselves in space, pushing the invisible curtain out of the way. Nitrogen and oxygen and the other vapors ricocheting madly as I suppose they must always do. Everything I want is here: the breaths I take easily and the purposeful displacement of matter, my body feeling itself work and doing alright. A boy whose cells are also mine. We will never win the game. We are dying of laughter, and the light is fading, and the birds have started up their evening prattle that I think must have something to say about their allegiance to air even as they land and settle on high branches. Aronson, Rebecca Fire Country (beginning with a line from Tarfia Faizullah)...................(505) 276-3473 Because the sky burned, I had to unhinge my sooty eyes from their lingering. In the season of undoing, the tender heart-leaves of the new are shredded as soon as they arrive. Wind eats the view and scalds a wrecked swath like a medieval dragon as it moves across this land I’ve made a home of.

  • Oh Land, Eller Nanna Øland Fabricius, 33, Var En Stålsat Balletdanser, Indtil En Rygskade Ødelagde Drømmen Om Et Liv På Tå
    EW / INTERVIEW JUNI De seneste fem år er Oh Land flyttet fra New York og hjem til Danmark, blevet mor og skilt. De oplevelser har hun baseret sit nye album på Jeg er sgu min egen Oh Land, eller Nanna Øland Fabricius, 33, var en stålsat balletdanser, indtil en rygskade ødelagde drømmen om et liv på tå. Hun blev sangerinde, boede i New York, hvor hun fik tilbudt en stjernekar- riere. Nej tak, sagde hun. Hun blev gift med sit livs kærlighed, de fik en søn, flyttede hjem til Danmark – og så blev de skilt. Men Nanna er ikke sådan at slå ud. Sangerinden med den benhårde vilje og indimellem uden fodfæste har lært at slå fra sig og stå ved sig selv, og hun ved nu, at meningsløsheden er momen- tan, og at kærligheden finder én igen.

Several students hear Palin speak at Tea Party rally BY GILLIAN ANDERSON “Run, Sarah, run” were the words that could be heard coming from the crowd in Indianola, last Saturday, Sept. 3. Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin spoke at a Tea Party rally to a generally positive audience that included several Northwestern students. If people don’t remember her from the election three years ago, they may recognize her from the satire of Saturday Night Live or the notable amount of criticism she has received from the media. “She has done very well considering all the criticism she has taken,” said junior attendee Hannah Biernacki. Some at the rally expected Palin to announce her candidacy for the 2012 election and were surprised when she did not. While Palin did not announce whether she is going to run, there is still time for her to enter the race.

  • Aarhus 2017 Launches Programme: from Iconic International Works to the ‘Definitively Danish’
    Aarhus 12/10/16 Aarhus 2017 launches programme: From iconic international works to the ‘definitively Danish’ The full programme for the European Capital of Culture Aarhus 2017 was unveiled today at a launch event in the Danish city. “Aarhus 2017 is going to be a creative tour de force,” said Aarhus 2017 CEO Rebecca Mat- thews, “with new works, special commissions, premieres, major events and festivals. And it will encompass plenty of free as well as ticketed events - experiences that are huge and human- scale all at once.” Highlights with a definitively Danish flavour include a spectacular re-telling of Frans G. Bengtsons’s classic Viking legend “Red Serpent”, a stunning Watermusic show around the har- bour featuring singer and composer Oh Land and Oscar-winning director Susanne Bier’s cele- brated film trilogy re-imagined as opera, dance and theatre performances. The programme also features a dazzling array of international talent from wider Scandinavia, Europe and beyond, bringing global culture to the Central Denmark Region for the entire year. Under the banner of ‘Let’s Rethink’, Aarhus 2017 challenges the world to use arts and culture as a means of exploring the choices we must make for our future. Whatever those choices are, they will bring changes to the way we live and work, the places we live in, and the very structure of our society. “We hope that the different perspectives and creative energy expressed by the outstanding artists assembling in Aarhus next year will be a catalyst and resource for managing those changes,” said Matthews. The Aarhus region and its visitors will have the chance to get up close and personal with some of the most exciting cultural talents on the international stage today.
