DANSEhallerne på Carlsberg, Pasteursvej 14, 1778 København V
Show map 14:00 – 16:00 // no entrance fee (free soup for the first 200 visitors)
The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and DANSEhallerne have invited the Brazilian artist Ricardo Basbaum for a hospitality project of 14 days in Copenhagen.
The project is called ‘Host Guest Ghost’ which states what seems to be the essence of the project: An international exchange of different types of art between the professional guest and the students of the Art Academy. The ghost in this matter is what happens when the audience and the artists meet.
At the 1st event in March 2011 the audience witnessed Chef Magnus Sonne on stage surrounded by heaps of ingredients and 2 modern dancers, dancing to the beat of his knife.
I can’t tell you what will happen this time, but it’s definitely going to be centred on words and soup, and most likely include more joy than an ordinary sleepy Sunday at home.

For most people, January is the month where we all live on pasta and ketchup and trying to find as many free events as possible.
So here is a few of the events that Copenhagen offers you in the “no-money-month”
Until now, there has been no sign of snow in Denmark – luckily the new internet shop The Bonk will grand us some. Six tons of snow will be scattered all over Enghave Plads and a ski and snowboard competition will take place with the possibility of winning FREE STUFF!
And after the competition there will of course be an after-ski party.
See you all at Enghave Plads!

And if that wasn’t enough snow for you, keep reading!
Every Friday night Toftegårds Plads in Valby invites you to “Disco On Ice” at the skate rink.
DJ Janus and DJ Walker will crank up the music and will be supported by a spectacular laser show. So brush of your old skates and we will see you Friday night!

Friday night the American world record champion Busty Heart, visited MOHS gallery on Vesterbro.
Busty has a world record in smashing stuff with her enormous boobs. I’m still not sure what the hell just happened…
My friend and photographer Kenneth Nguyen captured the essence – see the rest of the pictures on his blog.

Stadens Museum for Kunst, Christiania - ask for directions once you enter the free town.
Show map no entrance fee
17:00 – ?? // no entrance fee
Fatamorgana – a school that nurses artistic photographers, is hosting a vernissage friday at Stadens Museum for kunst at Christiania.
I personally recommend this, as I happen to know one of the exhibiters and if his work is the standard, I predict that the exhibition will be amazing.
Beers and beats are available at the gallery.

Look at me, I built my own super-shiny, golden and faster-than-lightning sledge the other day.
Rumor has it that homemade sledges range very high on the christmas lists this year, so my friend and I went to build a sledge.
They gave us the 5 wooden pieces and said with a crooked smile: “You might need to polish the edges a bit”. And so we did. For 30 minutes. By-passers gladly stopped to look at us working, commenting and giving advice for the two girls at my own age, who had a hard time using the drilling machine. (Not that I was any better)
All day long we were a bunch of enthusiastic people present, children as well as adults, with sawdust on our clothes and paint on our hands. The crew at the event was very welcoming and dressed in Santa suits. So, it was a thrill to turn to the cute Santa Claus and ask for more screws and another piece of sand paper.
It took us about an hour to build two sledges, but somehow it could be built and painted in less then 30 minutes (which two guys managed later that day-bummer). It wasn’t really cold but there was a certain feeling of winter, when people started leaving, dragging their sledge on the pavement home.
And the day after it actually snowed.

On the corner where Nørrebrogade meets Frederik d. VII's gade
Show map 12:30 – 15:30 // fee of 50 DKK for materials for the sledge
“It’s gonna be a cold, cold christmas without…” a sledge!
It’s not that I haven’t noticed the lack of snow, I just think it’s better to be safe than sorry.
(And what would be cooler than riding your own self-made sledge when the snow gets here?)
On this day Kulturskaberne provide you with all the materials, equipment and hopefully a bit of guidance in how to build your own sledge.
There will be material available for 50 sledges in total and of course you will find shining lights in the christmas tree, hot chocolate and sweet christmas tunes as well. So, bring a friend and build away!

I actually got this event recommended by my Canadian friend Michael. He loves Copenhagen and talks about Denmark as a country with a lot of great hidden music… But he can’t buy it anymore, as he sadly, has moved back to Canada.
I promised to get him some music stuff (Efterklang) at this event, as it is exceptionally cheap.
Maybe I’ll find some cheap arty posters, books etc. for the friends without christmas wishes. And coffee… Lots of coffee.

Show map no entrance fee
sat: 11:00 – 17:00, sun: 11:00 – 15:00 // no entrance fee
I know it’s not December yet – but we are getting close; and if you are a part of the bunch that already sings carols in august – I’m sure you won’t mind a Christmas market in late November.
This weekend the school of Design & Architecture opens the doors to the annual Christmas Market. Here you’ll find the usual christmas snacks combined with different unique items, arty artefact and handicrafts all for sale and all made by the very talented students.
The premises and general atmosphere are very “hyggelige” and might be enought to bring you into the christmas spirit – that is, if you haven’t already caught it.

Bitchslap magazine – one of the coolest independant magazines in the DK. If you don’t know it yet, I suggest you find a free copy in one of the hotspots they’re distributed to. Or even better – snatch a copy at the Bitchslap#14 release party.
Bitchslap, to me, is subculture, street, art, fashion, design, photography, music and coolness. Check it out.
At the party, there’ll be dj’s, a (supposedly) legendary dance competition, 20,- bar and free Tuborg Gold from 21:00 – 22:00.
See event on facebook.
