I went to Copenhagen for the show of artist Adam Fenton. Adam, who often paints landscapes had constructed a tearoom as an all-encompassing ‘Victorian’ experience. The serious nature of a crafted traditional painting staple was expertly contrasted by Adam’s performance in the guise of a Victorian gentleman, creating quite a surreal experience. Projected on the far wall, a film depicting Adam walking through the same landscapes framed and hung on the walls. The show was popular, guests drank beer, Earl grey tea as well as Gin and tonic from teacups. Just the right level of serious and absurd in my opinion. A great show and a fantastic time meeting many interesting people.
