As many of you might have heard the Little Mermaid is away on a business kind of vacation in Shanghai, further understood she’s hanging out in the Danish Pavilion during the EXPO2010.

And the instructions are simple because there are no! So how you wish to spend your precious temp period on the ‘temp rock’ is completely up to you.
Just follow the link below for further info and booking of a temp period and send an email to booking@500mermaids.dk.

Once again it’s time for the annual celebration of art and music put together in one big lovely package of genuine respect for the artists who dare to challenge.
The Trailerpark festival organized and produced by Artrebels is already known for its charming ability to master the difficult art of balancing between experimental artistic expressions and music and dj features.
So sit tight and enjoy sweetness from Danish artists like Vinnie Who, Fallulah and Chimes & Bells, Prinzhorn Danceschool from UK or German djs like DJ Hell and Krause Duo among others.
With a mixed constellation of both Copenhagener and international artists the Artrebels crew will show you that vibrant and colorful expression has much to say.
Are colors the new black? Decide for yourself during the last weekend of July. We look forward to say hello to all of you!

It’s time for yet another Likemind – your monthly coffee-talk-fix. It’s actually kind of a networking event, so grab the chance to go out and have a chat. Maybe you will be introduced to new exiting projects or your new best friend – who knows. Or maybe just sit back and enjoy a cup of coffee and be inspired.
Bring your friends and tell it to a stranger. I’ll be happy to meet you, even though I’m usually not very talkative in the mornings. So don’t be afraid if I look a bit sour :-)
The event is organized by our likeminded friends at Kadaver.
