How scandinavian of me...

Text by: Charlotte Mosen Jensen, The little garden / THE LITTLE GARDEN

Introduction:

Started in London 2001

How Scandinavian Of Me shows a work of art in questions of investigation and formed like the artist in the part as 'tourist' with the same recognisable objects, the white T-shirt and 'how scandinavian of me', standing bare-feeted on the small heap of danish chipped bark.

A travelling artist starting from touristrelated attractions in Europe.

This project has interest, because it tells about integration of scandinavic

mentality and put questions to other cultures values. The intergration of an

artist has here the focus on the traditionally high-lights of

touristattractions, but with the artists equivocal privatepersonal entrance,

which gives a meeting between the artist,'the tourist' and the public.

In this meeting has 'the work' not taken place, and leavs statements of

uncertainty 'what am I a part of, how am I a part of, where am I a part of'

with referee to global integration with sympathetic insight, understanding

and osmotic acquisition of other cultures distinctions, practices and

manners.

A contemporary searching for identity through reflections, where

the artist is the opening traveller with his scandinavic mentality standing

bare-feeted on his privatepersonal luggage of plain chipped bark, nrings out

the contrast to the famous history-making touristplaces, where he is

depicted.

Therefore this project is considered as an artistic process, where the area

of investigation extends with new editions.

‘land devided int parcels’ of cultural personality

“…the concept of 'appropriation'[…,CMJ]-- associated with the rise of European

colonialism and global capital. This foundational discourse of appropriation is

underwritten by the formation of disciplines such as anthropology, museology and

allied epistemologies of description, collecting [ Italicizing by CMJ to stress

comparison and evaulation.

Consideration of cultural appropriation has given rise to several sustained

enquiries into the reach and restrictions of intellectual property, copyright

law, governmental restitution and reparations, and questions of ownership and

community rights. Ranging across art, music, narratives, symbolic systems,

scientific knowledge, materials and land [ Italicizing by CMJ to stress the

importance of the specific referencepoint to the quote to the background workarea

which entering the artworkproduction by artist Lars Vilhelmsen ], these include

studies of the aestheticisation and sheer consumption of cultural difference,

whose exchange and mart has been understood as the great driving force of

appropriation”, op.cit.

In case the appropriation conception is adrifted by studies in aesthetics by common

general expenditure of cultural differences, exists there in the workarea term

for this. Investments appropriative structures can co-operate to focus on the

on-going conditions, and it will show, The artwork in How scandinavian of me

break work-categorical definitions change the casting between the artist and the

public in a way, that the artist invests in a procedural work, where the public

can`t expect any genius solutions, but probably account a metting with an artists

interpretation or experience of a scandinavic mentality relating to cultural dividing

lines, habits, manners, places, spaces and private personal hang-uped woodden

Theoretic consideration around the artist, the author how appropriates stratedic point

Is travelling and documentation of the artworkers scandinavic appropriations of land,

city, place and public spaces the __expression for objectproduction ?

Or you can consider different: Which function has this artwork in a documentation

HOW SCANDINAVIAN OF ME is an on-going proces under which a specific artprofessional

The artsubject in the workarea is more weighty conception and expresses a condition, as
