20 år i kunstnerbogens tjeneste Jasper Sebastian Stürup - retrospektiv, Danmarks Kunstbibliotek

Here are some photographs from my small retrospective book show at Danmarks Kunstbibliotek.

Danmarks Kunstbibliotek is a wonderfull artbook libary that dates back to 1754.

I worked there back in the early 90's wile attending the Royal Danish Academy Of Fine Art,

They are both in the same building complex.

The first couple of books was published about a year before I started working there,

it was great browsing their amazing collection wile working, getting ideas.

The exhibition features a selection of books and some of the original drawings

 made for the books spanning 1994 to 2014. 

There are about half the books published on Fluens Forlag in the exhibition.

All the books in the exhibition are published by Fluens Forlag 

except for No One Will Be Watching You, 

that one was published together with my friend Claus Due as Fluens & Duens Forlag.

And off course the new book Atelier Dage that I made for the exhibition is there, 

together with the drawings I made for the book,

it was drawn in one go, drawing things surrounding me in my studio,

my sculptures, paintings drawings and photographs.

Talk about Artists' Books at Danmarks Kunstbibliotek

Kunstnerbøger på Danmarks Kunstbibliotek
Friday June 20th at 16 - 17.30

Thomas Hvid Kromann has arranged a talk at Danmarks Kunstbibliotek about Artists’ books.
First Thomas will be talking about Artists’ books. 

He was recently one of the editors of the first larger book about Danish Artists books.

Anneli Fuchs will be talking about the library collection of Artists’ books

Then Kasper Hesselbjerg, Lasse Krog Møller and I will be talking about being small publishers and our own books.

I haven't been to the library for many years, I used to work there back sometime around 1995, 

I’m looking very much forward to this. 

When working there my job was to fetch the books people requested and I would take my time, 

browsing what books was close to the books I was supposed to find, 

their collection is absolutely amazing.

If you are in Copenhagen and would like to take part of this all you have to do is send a mail to

 dkb@kunstbib.dk to confirm that you will attend. it is free

Danish Artists' Books

No so long ago the first larger books about Danish artists' books was published.

It includes some text about Fluens Forlag and a list of some of the  favorite Danish Artists' books by Stürup.

The book was edited by Thomas Hvid Kromann, Louise Hold Sidenius, 

Maria Kjær Themsen and Marianne Vierø.

It is a large size 300 pages paperback, in Danish and English.

It is a good introduction to the Danish Artists' book.

But with all books like this and especially being the first one, 

it tries to do too many things at once, 

reading in it I wish it had twice the length, to get more in debt.

If the layout had not been set as a large size retro layout 

there could have been space for a lot more information on those 300 pages.

That said it is still a great book.

Tables at Printed Matter,Inc

My favorite book store Printed Matter,Inc has added a new section to their website, called Tables.

They show books by a selection of the artists who has their books in the store.

I just found out they did one with some of my books.

Going to Printed Matter, Inc is like entering Aladdin's Cave of Artist's Books, I'm not sure I ever left without a great book I didn't know I wanted before entering.

They have had my books since sometime in 1999 when I came by the shop on a studio trip with The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art.

For the love of books

Fluens Forlag is back in Copenhagen where it started in 1994, after years in New York and last year in Berlin.
Taking stock of what books are still there since it's the first time in years they are all in the same place. When all done the shop will reopen, after it's clear what is still for sale and what is purely for archive and exhibitions purposes.
This is the first post on the Fluens Forlag blog, the news will be announced here and things from the past will slowly being added too.
