HELLO COPENHAGEN

Din Nye Ven, Skt. Peders Stræde 34, city Show map

16:00 – 20:00 // no entrance fee

The author of this book (look at picture to the left) called “People with both feet on the ground, hangs the trees”, is celebrating his book release with handing out Hancock beers at the cosy bar ‘Din Nye Ven’/'Your New Friend’.

Why is he handing out free beers? Because, and I quote:

“I’m nice

my friends are nice

afternoon beers are nice

Copenhagen is nice

being young is nice

giving free beers to friends is nice

going out  partying after a couple of Hancocks and good company is nice

it’s spring

Joseph Kony is a dick

I feel like it”

So why not go?

Carlsberg Breweries, the Elephant Gate. Ny Carlsbergvej 100, Vesterbro. Show map

17:00 – 20:00 // no entrance fee

As some of you already know, the old Carlsberg brewery has gone through some changes these last years and there are still plenty to come.

Carlsberg has a special place in my Copenhagen heart. I grew up near the brewery and still remember the odd smell dominating Frederiksberg when Carlsberg was brewing. I’ve been distorted with Distortion at Carlsberg. I’ve trained at the parcour facilities at Carlsberg. Been at concerts, exhibitions, dance performances, playing with ropes etc.

This weekend Carlsberg invites us all to see what is next to come. Five architect studios are in the final round to realize their visions for the Carlsberg Brand Center. The picture shown here is the proposal done by “Effekt” which is exhibited along with the other four.

As an architect student and a local citizen I’m very exited to see what they’ve come up with. But. I’m not in any doubt that it will be equally as exciting for those where the name Carlsberg merely is a beer. The Carlsberg brewery is beautiful and if you haven’t had the pleasure of visiting, this would definitely be a recommendable time to do so.

Friday is the big vernissage 17:00 – 20:00. See the five big visions for the “Carlsberg brand center” – bar and dj.

Saturday the visions are presented by the architects. 11:00 – 16:00.

Sunday you can get guided tours and see the exhibition. 11:00 – 16:00.

Urban Outfitter, Strøget (Østergade 42), city Show map

18:00 – 20:00 // no entrance fee

Urban Outfitters fashion reception is one of the more easy access ones.

Their PR event offers live music delivered by Kasper Bjørke, goodie bags to the first arrivers, plenty of free Carlsberg beers, energizing drinks and of course a sneak peak of a fashion collection – this time by Carin Wester (not a bad choice, I might add)

I took this picture at their event last summer – a lot of people are waiting to get a goodiebag, so if you want one, prepare to stand in line.

Rezet Store, Rådhusstræde 7 up the stairs to the right, city Show map

16:00 – 19:00 // no entrance fee

As you may know,  this week has been declared fashion week in Copenhagen.

This of course means a lot of “hard to reach” parties and closed doors – but it also means small receptions and free drinks.

Rezet Store is a fairly new (and my personal favorite) sneaker store in Copenhagen. It’s a bit secluded from the busy Strøget and has a welcoming atmosphere.

The small shop is host when the ‘street’ brand Moustage is launching their new collection – their first collection was completely sold out, so I guess if you are into street fashion, this would not be a bad place to get some shopping inspiration.

Also there will be vodka/Burn for the thirsty and of course a dj will be spreading the good vibes.

@ Wonderland Art Space, Absalonsgade 21b , Copenhagen V
17:00 – 22:00 // free

WAS invites you inside a mashed-up, chaotic yet cozy and tactile room for art experience. Sounds like its gonna be with a hint of a livingroom where you can throw your legs on the table.

15 artists are participating in this group show with photography, print, sculpture, collage, drawing and painting. The exhibition will run until January 15.

I guess the opening will have some of the usual ingredients of drinks, chatting and mingling.
