S-A (Svend-Allan Sørensen): I'm about to scan the 150 or so prints I made in 21-22 out in my allotment house,for you to see them. The Arts Agency’s special work grant supported the project. Now that it's almost over working out there, I think it will be the right time to show them.

You will receive them later today and then you can see if it could be interesting to show in your Viewing room.

…

S-A: Attached is an overview of the 153 allotment house prints.

G (Gitte Johannesen): Thanks for the many prints. I think it's a good series! It's as if we get a look into your brain, like a kind of diary. Sometimes something important is at stake, at other times something mundane, and sometimes joy, sometimes some anger (is that wrong?) I like it.

S-A: I think you understand it exactly right. There is something about zooming in on the big and small.
Some of them is something I've heard on records, some are about being angry because of being invited along on an illegal hunt,some are references to literature etc.

A suitable title could be “Kolonihavehustrykkene” - “The Allotment-house-prints”. By exhibiting them this coming fall, it will, for me, mark the fact that my workshop is a thing of the past and probably at that point be close to being handed over to the driver of a bulldozer…


G: How about inviting for coffee, croissants and mimosas on Saturday, 16/9?

I imagine Saturday from 11 am to 3 pm, a slightly extended day..
And mimosas or bubbles on top.

S-A: I agree with that.
Hanging d.15/9. Coffee & crossaint on the Saturday.

Shouldn't we just call it a deal?

Maybe you could make it a little flexible by giving the opportunity for that one can buy a print and take it home.
There are three editions of all of them. As well as a fourth archival print..
