Our installation Bekkur/Bænk 123 has been moved within the DanseHallerne (Dance Halls). It can now be found in the lounge of the Dansens Hus (dance studios) on two 42″ screens. We encourage everyone, who has the chance, not to let this opportunity - it’s a true eye candy.

Installation will run out the month of June 2010

Jens makes frames for Bekkur/Bænk 1,2,3,… from Salts on Vimeo.

We use four digital 10″ frames in our Icelandic setup at café Tíu Dropar.

To be able to fix them firmly and safely to the walls, we asked Jens Kristinsson to make for us wooden frames that would incase the digital ones.

Here is a short video we shot of Jens at work.
