OPENING:
Saturday September 21 2013 from 5 pm to 8 pm
The artist will be present

A rest area is an interlude on the road - an intersection between the landscape
and a gist of contemporary civilization. It is the place where the traveler
finds his own speed, the contact with the ground and maybe a moment to dream
and look at the sky.

Frieze P7:  A decorative frieze with a contemporary ornament

The frieze is a classic within ceramic decoration that I first felt like referring
to in this project, where we are talking about friezes with relief patterns from
car tyres – Pirelli P7 tyres, to be precise. Using these, I have explored the
possibilities of creating a modern frieze ornamentation.

Stoneware clay with chamotte and fibre are thrown down to form a long track.
After that, a car drives slowly through the clay in a single track. A direct imprint.
Glazed and fired at 1,280°C. The project was realised at Tommerup Keramiske Værksted
on the island of Funen.

Frise P7 is a perpetuated imprint in fired clay of our own Fiat Multipla, and
at the same time a very recognisable trace of our own age. The P7 tyre pattern
forms a beautiful relief in the clay. The length of the relief is important,
bearing in mind that it is to be a frieze, but also because we are dealing
with a track, a trace. The relief pattern forms a basis for the ceramic glazes.
They can run down into cracks and pull away from edges and thereby accentuate
the pattern. In other, the track can be partially camouflaged by a thick layer
of glaze. It depends completely on the nature of the glaze to what extent the
tracks become prominent. Some more directly than others. Others perhaps more
like a pattern that an actual car track. What also interests me is the clash
between this mechanical, industrial imprint and the clay. Apart from the ability
of clay to perpetuate the imprint, it is a soft, sensual and tactile material.
One can also speak of an intervention when the clay is exposed to being directly
driven over by a car. Despite this, the friezes are not only violent and
expressive but also provide food for quiet contemplation.

The Frise P7 project is of course a continuation of my contribution to the Danish
Arts Foundation project ‘Art along Hærvejen’ in 2010, where I let cows of the
‘Jutland cattle’ breed, which used to be driven along the ancient road Hærvejen
in the old days, leave imprints of their cloven feet in an approx. 40 sqm red-clay
relief, which has now been put down at the Hærvejen nature trail, close to the
village of Bække in Central Jutland. And behind this, there is of course a greeting
being sent to Asger Jorn’s large-scale ceramics relief from 1959 at Århus
Statsgymnasium upper secondary school, where Jorn, as is well known, rode his
scooter through the clay while making the work.
