Tom Sandberg will have a major exhibition curated by Bob Nickas at P.S.1 MoMA in New York City. The exhibition, scheduled to open in February, 2007, will include more than thirty photographs taken over the past ten years, this will be the photographer's first major exhibition in the United States. Nickas writes — "Sandberg has produced a remarkable body of work that is consistent in its vision, imbued with a sense of mystery and great depth of feeling ... Sandberg's work is about photography, about the act of seeing, and ultimately about being in the world." Sven Påhlsson participates in the project entitled Animated Stories, an exhibition that opened at La Caixa Foundation in Barcelona, Spain on 16 June and will run through 18 October. Additional venues will follow at the La Sala Rekalde in Bilbao (26 October-7 January, 2007) and at Le Fresnoy in Lille, France later in 2007. The exhibition is curated by La Caixa's Marta Gili. Knut Åsdam participates in Satellite, a project being organized by Nina Oeghoede in conjunction with the official Shanghai Biennale, that opened on 4 September, 2006. Bringing together an international team of curators and artists from China and elsewhere, the concept of Satellite has multiple levels: physical, geographical, political, astronomical, and biological. Knut Åsdam was asked to participate in the subject theme The Irreparable together with Pavel Buchler, Pedro Cabrita Reis, Martin Creed, Ruberto Cuoghi, Wim Delvoye, Serkan Oskaya, Luc Tuymans, Christoph Buchel and others. Børre Sæthre has a solo show at Participant Inc located on the Lower East Side in New York City through 8 October, 2006. The title of the project — I've Been Guilty of Hanging Around — is generated from a dialogue with the American writer Dennis Cooper about his latest project in which he investigates the darker and hidden connections between male teenage prostitutes and older men in an almost Genet-like manner. Witte de With Director Nicolaus Schafhausen and WdW curator Renske Janssen include the works by Gardar Eide Einarsson and Marius Engh in the exhibition Street: Behind the Cliché scheduled through 19 November, 2006. The exhibition approaches what — and who — fills the sociocultural space of our day to day surroundings. It investigates the public spaces of supermodernity — as defined by Marc Auge — by presenting 28 international artists whose works embody alternatives to the anonymity of the globalized world and render visible the underlying structures and mechanisms of public space. Hanne Mugaas curates The Copy and
Paste Show — including Seth Price, 808, Ida Ekblad and
Anders Nordby. The project is part of the Time Series, a series of
online projects co-presented by Rhizome and the New Museum of
Contemporary Art in New York City. The Copy and Paste Show explores
the evolution of copy-and-paste culture, through which copying of
digital material has become a major technique in the construction
of online identity and style.

Curated by Raimar Stange and Christiane Krejs, the project will open on 6 October and will include additional works by Candice Breitz, Michel Majerus, Jonathan Monk, Olaf Nicolai, among others.

Andreas Dalen will participate in the exhibition How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later, at the CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts in San Francisco, California. The project is curated by Will Bradley and revolves around the contrasting visions of future put forward in California in the mid 1970s. It takes is title from an essay by science fiction author Philip K. Dick, in which he compares the speculative world building of artists and writers to the scenarios imagined and constructed by governments, corporations and the mass media. The exhibition opens 28 November, 2006 and runs through 24 February, 2007. Geir Tore Holm will participate in the exhibition project Rethinking Nordic Colonialism: A Postcolonial Exhibition Project in Five Acts, curated by Frederikke Hansen and Tone Olaf Nielsen for NIFCA.

Hungarian curator Livia Paldi selected works by Vibeke Tandberg and Torbjørn Rødland for the exhibition Dreamlands Burn, scheduled to open at the Mucsarnok in Budapest on 7 December, 2006. The exhibition which is scheduled to run through 24 February, 2007 proposes a crossover of the contemporary art scenes in the Nordic countries, with an investigation of identity through the very personal. Other artists included in the project — Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Johanna Billing, Tommi Grönland and Petteri Nisunen, Felix Gmelin, Alexander Gutke, Jesper Just, Joachim Koester, Gitte Villesen among others. OCA supported Norwegian curator Leif Magne Tangen in curating a project entitled I will never make it at Kunstraum D21in Leipzig, Germany. The exhibition, writes Tangen, is born out of the necessity of failing. Built upon an original work by Jan Christensen from 2000, the project includes artists Mikkel McAlinden, Mark Hamilton, Paolo Chiasera, and Reto Pulfer. The show will open in March 2007. Dr. Barbara Steiner, Curator and Director of the Galerie fur Zeitgenossische Kunst Leipzig, Germany, invited the artistStefan Schrøder to participate in a public project entitled Plagwitzer Sand in Summer 2007 in Leipzig. |

Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset received a major commission from the German government for their design of memorial to mark the Nazi's persecution of the homosexuals. The construction of the memorial will begin in 2007 and will be positioned in the Tiergarten city park, across the street from Peter Eisenman's Holocaust memorial. The structure, will stand at an angle to Eisenman's Holocaust memorial. It was accepted because its "very controversial nature in relation to the politics of memorials". The artists will be provided by the German federal government with € 500,000 ($ 614,000) for the memorial proposal, the construction of which will start a full twenty-two years after a memorial of a pink triangle — the symbol the Nazis used to identify homosexual inmates in concentration camps — was added to the camp Mauthausen.
