\u2015Please briefly describe your practice.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I see myself as a visual artist who also enjoys curating, organizing and engaging in other artists\u2019 works. My own work spans from artists\u2019 books to sculptural installations and performances and deals with potential energy, time and archaeology. The projects I started is curatorial collective and publishing house \u300cLodret Vandret<\/a>\u300d<\/span>, exhibition space \u2018<\/span>New Shelter Plan<\/span><\/a>\u2018 <\/span>and artists\u2019 book festival <\/span>\u2018One Thousand Books\u2019<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2015Can you please explain what led you to start One Thousand Books and why you called it a festival instead of a fair?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Back in 2013 we thought there was a lack of focus on artists\u2019 books in Denmark, so we decided to take matters in our own hands. We had lots of ideas for different events that could take place, so we thought the word festival was more fitting \u2013 and also because we didn\u2019t want to promise the publishers tons of sales. The Danish audience likes to participate but don\u2019t necessarily buy that much.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2015One Thousand Books uses different spaces each time. What kind of space is O-Overgaden, your next venue for the fair on December 1st~3rd?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

O\u2013Overgaden is a kunsthalle that has a history of being a book printing house.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2015What is the theme for your next One Thousand Books?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This year we focus on spaces for artists\u2019 books. Books are quite easy to distribute, but someone still has to do it. For 10 years, the festival One Thousand Books has helped spread the word about artists\u2019 books. Now the time has come to take a look at the spaces where they are actually changing hands\u2014the bookshops. Often run by publishers or artists themselves, the spaces for artists\u2019 books play a vital role in selecting, distributing, and communicating the artworks. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One Thousand Books will, from its base at O\u2014Overgaden, hand out a map and compose a guided tour to a series of local, specialized bookshops. As a token of encouragement to visit your local bookshops, we made a small edition of bindles, consisting of a wooden branch and a piece of fabric, perfect for carrying a stack of books, and silkscreen printed with a mapping of the spaces for artists\u2019 books near you.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2015Within your selection for Tokyo Art Book Fair, we see many publications from Space Poetry<\/a> and Officin. From your point of view, where would you situate them\/what role do they play in the Danish art book scene?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Officin was a quite short-lived project, but the woman behind had fantastic enthusiasm and had her own Riso-printing workshop so she could really control the whole process. Space Poetry<\/a> is on the other hand a really long-term project that is still very much alive. Three friends, now in their 60s, that are extremely innovative and productive.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2015You listed many contemporary artist books and zines for our Nordic Art Book Store. Are there any characteristics you noticed among the art books in Denmark through the process of this selection? Have you found any other similarities\/differences with the other four Nordic countries?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think the Danish artists\u2019 book scene had a connection to the legalization of pornography in Denmark 50 years ago. There is a sense of freedom and a search for boundaries in a lot of the early Danish publications, that I have a feeling comes from the understanding the Danish people was very open and free and had no censorship at all.<\/span><\/p>\n
