The espresso cups are the work of the classic performance artist Marina Abramovic. They were made as an art edition for the coffee company illy. The images on the cups depict Abramovic on the beaches of her homeland, Bosnia, before she left her country. During the performance six cups of Kopi Luwak espresso will be sipped from the Marina Abramovic cups. After each sip, the coffee breath will be exhaled into a beach ball identical to the one on the espresso cups. The performance ends with the inflated beach ball being separated from the performance and placed in a corner of the room. As a spirited object. http://uffeholm.com/Lake-of-Fire http://uffeholm.com/following/uffeholm.com/Lake-of-Fire Wed, 22 Jun 2011 19:38:53 +0000 Uffe Holm 1529301 Group show at Den Frie Center of Contemporary Art in Copenhagen.

You can see some 'behind-the-scenes' images on his website. Sensorimotor Homunculus is a pictorial representation of the anatomical divisions of the portion of the human brain directly responsible for the movement and exchange of sense and motor information of the rest of the body. It gives us an image of how our brain and our body is connected. The 3D model relates to Wilder Penfield's diagram, where the individual body parts are drawn lying across the surface of the brain. This diagram offers an explanation to why some people sense amputated or missing limbs, as short circuits in neighbouring areas of the brain can give the sensation of a phantom limb. Verner Panton's Phantom Chair represents an amorpheous body, which in this image is represented by the fleshy colour, a reference to the brain or an amputated body or a tongue. http://uffeholm.com/add-x-to-n http://uffeholm.com/following/uffeholm.com/add-x-to-n Thu, 02 Jun 2011 04:42:07 +0000 Uffe Holm 77278 Student group exhibition at Museet for Samtidskunst in Roskilde, Denmark. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/77278/From On Kawara to Dan Flavin.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="670" width_o="787" height_o="787" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/77278/From On Kawara to Dan Flavin_o.jpg" align="left" /> The number of days from seeing a work by On Kawara to seeing a work by Dan Flavin 2006 Coloured light tubes, electrical wires, power supply, 2x2 m on wall An art student’s work, this art piece points out every aspect of it’s becoming; from the context of an art student group show, with the references to seeing pieces of classic art, to the act of creating a piece of one’s own, based on what you’ve seen and learned, with an undefined teenaged subject somewhere in-between.

The flag painting Dawn (An Awakening of Rebellious Feelings) is based on an actual flag, Vendelbrog, the independence flag of North Jutland Island. It’s a flag that was designed in 1976, the same year I was born, and presented to the public by the mayor of Hjørring the same year, as a symbol of independence for this region of Denmark. The colours of the flag represent romantic values; blue as the sea, golden as the beach and green as the forest. The flag was conceived 30 years ago, the same year as I was born, and to this day there has been no success in liberating that part of Denmark from the rest. http://uffeholm.com/Objet-Trouve http://uffeholm.com/following/uffeholm.com/Objet-Trouve Thu, 02 Jun 2011 04:41:55 +0000 Uffe Holm 74349 Group show at the exhibition space Koh-i-noor, with works based on found objects. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/74349/kohinoor03.jpg" border="0" width="525" height="787" width_o="525" height_o="787" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/74349/kohinoor03_o.jpg" align="left" /> Bottles of Coca Cola Coke Drunk While Hanging the Exhibition 2007 Coca cola bottles, glue variable dimensions <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/74349/kohinoor06.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="787" height_o="525" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/74349/kohinoor06_o.jpg" align="left" /> Folding Ruler Displaying 2000 Years of Art History in 200 cm 2007 Art history folding ruler, brass nails 44x64 cm <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/74349/kohinoor05.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="787" height_o="525" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/74349/kohinoor05_o.jpg" align="left" /> White Books about Art and Culture Bought the Last Day of a Dutch Booksale 2006 Books, bookcase, balloon 60x30x19 cm <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/74349/kohinoor04.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="787" height_o="525" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/74349/kohinoor04_o.jpg" align="left" /> Replica of a Contribution to the Jonathan Monk Time Capsule Project 1995/2007 Styrofoam ball, snow spray, freezer bag, ink 15x35 cm http://uffeholm.com/Odense-Kunsthal http://uffeholm.com/following/uffeholm.com/Odense-Kunsthal Tue, 13 Apr 2010 21:24:20 +0000 Uffe Holm 328544 Group show in a large warehouse in the harbour of Odense, Denmark.

The dating of the artwork is the exact time of the champagne cork popping. 0...1...2...3! <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/328544/Melted Aluminium Engine Raised by Tin Can Cylinders.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="442" width_o="787" height_o="520" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/328544/Melted Aluminium Engine Raised by Tin Can Cylinders_o.jpg" align="left" /> Melted Aluminium Engine Raised by Tin Can Cylinders 1969/2007/2010 This artwork has previously been shown in the exhibition "Mustang Twilight", but as the other works from that show lived on elsewhere or lost their enigma over time, this piece kept puzzling me. I've been looking at half of the artwork for all my life, since the melted moped engine was picked up by my father at the site of a burned down farm in 1969, and since then it has hung on the wall in my childhood shed. I always thought that it had a purpose, as everything else in there, but when I found out that it was something else, an abstract, frozen machine, I dislocated the aluminium blob to another place and tried to restart it with a set of new cylinders. This is the second time a restart has been attempted, which shows in the multiple dating of the artwork. http://uffeholm.com/Ting http://uffeholm.com/following/uffeholm.com/Ting Mon, 12 Apr 2010 10:55:42 +0000 Uffe Holm 328543 Group show at Skulpturi, an artist run exhibition space in Copenhagen. 44 sculptors, of all ages and generations, were invited to show a work within a space measuring 80 x 80 cm on the floor, and as high as the ceiling. The result was a labyrinth of "things". <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/328543/4-large.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="1005" width_o="1102" height_o="1654" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/328543/4-large_o.jpg" align="left" /> Installation view of A Unisex Fragrance On A One-Sided Surface and Le Petit Prince (Entre Les Baobabs) <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/328543/3.jpg" border="0" width="525" height="788" width_o="525" height_o="788" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/328543/3_o.jpg" align="left" /> A Unisex Fragrance On A One-Sided Surface 2008 Klein bottle with ck one perfume from Calvin Klein 5,5 x 69,5 cm <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/328543/2.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="787" height_o="525" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/328543/2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/328543/1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="787" height_o="525" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/6738/328543/1_o.jpg" align="left" /> Le Petit Prince (Entre Les Baobabs) 2010 Comic by Jean-Pierre Petit, photograph of Philippe Petit by Jean-Louis Blondeau, with heavenly bodies from Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and from Patachou, Petit Garçon by Tristan Derème 89,1 x 231 cm The two works in this show relate to the title, and curating, of the show, by not only focusing on things, objects of pleasure, but also by trying to define the space in which the objects are displayed. Both works are initiated by a process of loose associations on the word 'small' - or as in this case: 'klein' and 'petit'. Names and titles are chosen and linked through this process of repeating the word, and ultimately merged in a form that refers to both science and poetry. Science is geometry, concrete knowledge on an abstract level, a systematic approach, and poetry is personified by perfume, French language and free minds from France. This way the two works is very much about what's around the work of art; the space surrounding the object, that defines the art piece, and the ethereal aura, that makes the piece art.
