Presents ABOUT project OUTSIDE



projekt UDENFOR is a private foundation which combines active social street work with training and research in approaches to homelessness and social marginalisation.

projekt UDENFOR was established in the Spring of 1997 by MD Preben Brandt. It was inspired by the realisation that the official social security system is not always able to reach every marginalised citizen who, for one reason or another, has dropped out of the system.

Our name - in English, project OUTSIDE - refers to the fact that we see ourselves as a project-oriented organisation; the word ‘OUTSIDE’ refers to the fact that we literally work outside, that we work outside the official public system, and that we deal with a marginalised group of people, who are ‘outsiders’ to society in general.

projekt UDENFOR is funded by government grants and private funds as well as income generated from consultant-activities, lectures and training and culturel events such as this years Art Aid.

Art Aid 2015 will take place at the wonderful palace of Odd Fellow in Bredgade 28, the 31st of october and 1st of November 2015.

Saturday the 31st of october we open the gates of the palace at 1800 hours, 
and sunday the 1st at 1300 hours.


Presents a short English review



Dear Friend!

In case you are one of the 6 billions that do not speak Danish, here is a short explanation about what and when.

Art Aid 2015 will take place at the wonderful palace of Odd Fellow in Bredgade 28, the 31st of october and 1st of November 2015.

Saturday the 31st of october we open the gates of the palace at 1800 hours, and sunday the 1st at 1300 hours.

The aim of the project has three sides.

The main purpose is to support homeless trough the organisation Project Outside!


The money will be made from sales of art in the palace, donations and art sales from the internet.

Second aim is to present upcoming and established artists, and to mix the different art forms to establish synergy between the genres.

Third Aim is to generate an event, that is a meeting among friends and will race up questions such as; "If it is not art, that is going to save the world, then what is it?

You are the one to answer that question!

Much love

i WOULD like to find the meaning of the words HOME and LESS - define what home is and what sets of these boundaries.


I often work with scales, human scale in particular - it helps me define space. still on the quest to create the feeling of familiar closeness. I would even go as far as findinG antonym Of HOME.

Actual display material :
- 3D objects made from cardboad (or recycled prints) that will help the dynamic of how the information is transmitted.

Proudly presents Jacob Skyggeberg

foto af: Mathias Christensen



Jacob Skyggebjerg debuterede i december 2013 med den socialt indignerede, koldt beskuende og desillusionerede roman Vor tids helt, der beskriver livet i velfærdsdanmark, som det ser ud for en ung mand på flugt fra finanskrisen, ekskæresten og underklassen og familiens dybt forankrede kuethed. Med sin autofiktionsbårne udformning høstede romanen fem stjerner i næsten samtlige dagblade, og blev blandt andet i Politiken kaldt for en af årets vildeste, hårdeste og bedste debuter. Siden har Skyggebjerg blandt andet skrevet for Weekendavisen, Politiken og Ekstra Bladet samt lavet aktualpolitiske radioessays for Radio24Syv, og lige nu kan vi glæde os til Skyggebjergs anden roman, Hvad mener du med vi, der udkommer på Forlaget Gladiator primo december.

"artist statement":
"De økonomisk rigeste mennesker er de mest ulykkelige, de mest skræmte og de, der har allermindst forstand på at glædes over noget. Alligevel har vi skabt og forherliger et system, der har det som førsteprioritet at opretholde dette groteske. Ynkeligt er det, og uhensigtsmæssigt. Jeg agerer altid ud fra den grundtanke, at dette system er alt levendes fjende; jeg tager det faktum seriøst."
