Danish Brain Mania
In the summer of 2021 I worked as Artist in residence near Nykobing, Denmark. The local artist's group Kunstnerfløjen has studios in a former psychiatric institution, Annebergparken. Until the middle of the last century the brains of deceased patients were removed and sent in a wooden box to the pathological institute. The remains were buried at - what is called locally - the Brainless Graveyard. Artists from Kunstnerfløjen joined Stitch Your Brain project and about a hundred brains are being stitched. They will be on show from june until september 2022 in Annebergparken.
