5 august 1989

When I saw the exhibition at the Charlottenborg Kunsthalle in July 1989 I could not resist I had to participate . I contacted the artists of the show and asked them if I could join in . It was a Sunday they  said yes . I hang an exhibition called " les braves tourists " ( work I made in India ) . Some days letter I organize an pic nic in the Kunst halle where I will ask the participant to describe under the form of a A4 pape to hang in their back what will be their definition of dansk hygge . dansk Hygge is a name for the dansih happiness the danish way of feeling cosy . The pic nic last for several hours . We had food and drinks meanwhile visitors where touring around . I collect ed then the different statements . Later on I kept on working on the dansk hygge thematic and also the happiness thematic ( software happiness - India ) .
The method of beeing exhibitionist with a A4 personnal statement was not new for me as I did a lot the year before . It was important to involve the audience to be exhibitionists in the institution as well despite the fact I will organise such event also in publi space ( moving exhibition exhibitionist de type vagabonde ) .

This was also what I will call later a PENETRATION ( joining enthusiastly and exhibition ) by asking to the artists or the curator the permisson to do that
