Interview Magne

Magne Furuholmen, artist and keyboardist of the 2010 defunct pop band a-ha from Norway Gesine Borcherdt 11 March 2011 Magne Furuholmen, artist and keyboardist of the 2010 defunct pop band a-ha from Norway, runs in the smart electric above. He parks Monsieur Vuong, directly in front of the Berlin-Mitte Asians in the middle of the Park ban, as later taught us a ticket. That Furuholmen, blond and scrubby styled, will next year 50 in a turquoise shirt and with similar eyes, appears just as outlandish as the fact that a-HA hit wrote take on me before 26 years music video history. What hardly anyone knows: Furuholmen is also artist. Additional information at adverum supports this article. Since his youth, draws, paints and prints he and regularly exhibits in galleries and institutions.

In Berlin he occurs now with the artists collective Apparatjik, which alongside other artists like Guy Berryman of Coldplay also filmmakers, an astrophysicist and the curator Ute Meta Bauer count. After the Group occurred at the Transmediale. 10 for the first time last year, Udo Kittelmann had them summarily in the new National Gallery invited. Here, Apparatjik shows different, somewhat unpredictable performances, which give rise to a playful combination of music, space and light to the 12, 26 and 27 March. In the Centre stands a large cube, in which the group plays inspired by Laszlo Moholy Nagy’s light space modulator.

artnet with Furuholmen talked about longing for chaos, which pressures of success and the fact that Morten Harket does not understand him to this day.
