HELLO COPENHAGEN

@ Bryggen93, Islands Brygge 93, Copenhagen Show map

20:00-late // free entrance

The creative working collective Bryggen93, who hosts film makers, designers, web dudes and dudettes among others, is hosting an evening of knock-out ping pong.

They are really happy about expanding their work space, so now they want to raise some money for the renovation.

I’m sure there will be some nice people there, so just enjoy, keep on knocking out all night, buy lots of beers in the bar and don’t be a cheap ass :-) Remember cash.

RSVP with your name and email at www.bryggen93.dk

@ Din Nye Ven, Sankt Peder Stræde 34, Copenhagen K Show map

8:00-11:00 (early) // Free

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.

Nørrebro Show map

Fanø Free Folk Festival is warming up with two intimate concerts in Nørrebro with British Woodpecker Wooliams.

Tuesday: @Insula, Blågårdsgade 31
17:00 // free

Thursday @Det Poetiske Bureau, Griffenfeldsgade 22
21:00 // free

Woodpecker Wooliams has been compared with Joanna Newsom and Kate Bush. With the light psychedelic atmosphere and acoustic ballads, she will be ready to enchant the audience. Her fascination for bees has even made her call her music “psyck-bee-folk”. Give it a listen.

Both concerts are for free, but donations are accepted :-)

@Rumkammerat, Nansensgade 35, Copenhagen K Show map

17:00-22:00 // free

This is the opening night for one month of urban summer activites around Copenhagen. Come for some nice beats, cheap beers and check out all the activities the agency has for you this summer. And just bring your friends.

Rumkammerat, who are also the ones organizing Urban Treasure Hunt, will during summer be transformed into an urban activity agency to offer you a variety of alternative activities designed for the urban environment.

For instance you can go play the urban image bingo, be a local for one day, hunt for photo works – in total there are 11 alternative urban activities to choose from arranged by different artists.

The agency will be running until 14 August. Some of the activities will take place at certain times and places, and others you will be able to do whenever it suits you – and they are free of charge.

Well done Rumkammerat!

@ WAS Gallery, Absalonsgade 21B, Copenhagen V Show map

17:00-22:00 // Free entrance

This summer WAS gallery has invited the young photographer Alastair Philip Wiper to show his fascinating work. The solo exhibition is called ‘Lonely Fruit’ which refers to people, animals and specific objects all isolated in their surroundings – sometimes lost and confused, sometimes tranquil and at peace.

Alastair Philip Wiper is a British, Copenhagen based photographer with a burning need to see more things and experience new situations and at the same time with a great appreciation of the quiet, lonely, isolated and almost meditative moments.

So if you’re out for a walk about in Vesterbro you should drop by WAS and give yourself a short break the aesthetically way. The exhibition runs from July 9 until July 23.

This is just to let you know that the following  week, the Hello Copenhagen editorial team will be moving to Roskilde Festival. Not really to blog a lot, but mostly to have fun and hear some great concerts.

So, the lack of upcoming events is not because we have fallen asleep, but because Roskilde will be the place to be. You can still get one-day tickets.

Besides all the great concerts you can find in the official programme, there are also many other things to experience such as spontaneous parties, random happenings and crazy people. In other words: we like Roskilde Festival.

If you are an early bird at Roskilde and have some spare time, check this out:

27-30 JUNE: CONTEMPORARY ART
@ Expression stage, Camping East
In the introducing days, Roskilde Museum of Contemporary Art presents a programme of performance and sound art in connection to one of their previous exhibitions centered on ‘action’. Check out the performances where action is art.

29 JUNE: PECHA KUCHA NIGHT  #14
@ Expression stage, Camping East // 13:00-14:30
The usual concept of 20×20 has gone festival. The presenter has 20 slides of 20 seconds to tell the audience about their passions and creative ideas. Come and hear something about poetry, the pool, street art, the Roskilde Festival school and much more. The shows are usually great and I think this will be no exception. After the presenters, there will be a shout out, where the audience is invited to go on stage and present their input in 20 seconds.

30 JUNE: ROSKILDE TWEETUP
@The Swimming Lake, Agora K, Camping East // 15:00-18:00

If you are a Twitterholic, then go meet fellow tweeps and maybe find yourself a new friend IRL. #RoskildeTweetup will on this #RF10 support the cause ‘Denmark against Landmines’. Be fast to get one of the highly attractive TweetUp t-shirts. http://roskilde.tweetup.dk/

30 JUNE: SUPERBACON & WAQAR PARTY
@ Roskilde Skate, Camping West // 21:00-24:00

Wednesday parties rock at Roskilde Festival. Top DJs Kasper Bjørke + Tomas Barfod + Waqar have been invited to bring you a killer 3-hour rave. Superbacon has previously been throwing parties in Berlin, Brussels and Copenhagen and will tour clubs in Europe during summer.

1 JULY: FLASHMOB
@ around the bridge between camping East and West // 16:00-16:02
Be around the bridge five minutes to 4. At 4 o’clock a person will shout “Der kommer spyd!” (Coming spike) and everyone will fall to the ground. Afterwards the same person will shout “false alarm” and everyone just stand up and walk away. Pure fun :-) Continue on and enjoy the festival.

Take care now.

@Halmtorvet, Copenhagen V Show map

Thursday 19:00-23:00 // Friday 16:00-24:00 // Free
