to be or not to be...


...is more than just a question. it's also the name of danish artist, thomas kluge's current exhibition at kronborg (a.k.a. hamlet's castle) in helsingør. went to check it out with some friends on saturday, then went for a few drinks at bixen and later at strandborgen, also in helsingør. had a lovely day, all in all! cold though...VERY cold!

can't find any good thomas kluge websites, unfortunatelly...in fact, it's proved VERY difficult getting any info on him at all. I was really impressed by his work though, but feel I can't quite do him and/or it justice here on this blog...you'll simply have to go and see it for yourself! also, not completely convinced why they've chosen the crown prince of denmark as the "poster boy" for the exhibition...? great painting, yes...but not the best one in my opinion. my guess is that they're trying to make a connection between the exhibition and the castle...successful? nopes, just obvious!
