We have startet a new space in Aarhus to host all our zine activities. 

Visit it here

The Drawing Department is a sub-department to Sideprojects. Born from the visual work we do.

We were asked to design and produce a poster for a international conference about participatory cultural citizenship. We choose to go with the silkscreen fell.

The Conference is hosted by Aarhus University

This year we were asked to graphic record the Northside festival. To be able to capture a 3 day music festival as good as possible we had help from these 3 great drawers:

Matilde Solgaard

Marc Pilgaard Nielsen

Ólavur Thorsteinsson

You can see the full 3 day drawing here

We designed and drew the logo for Spot Mix-Up, a festival within the festival during Spot 2013. Furthermore we designed flyers, posters and web banners.

I've started to learn the old art of sign painting. So far I've only done a few signs, one of them can be seen in the living museum Den Gamle By / The Old City

Every month we make a rough 1 min. teaser about our next Creative Mornings speaker. You can see the rest of the teasers here

Since January 2012 we have organized and hosted Creative Mornings in Aarhus, together with a great team of volunteers.

Creative Mornings is a free breakfast lecture series, Aarhus is one out of 52 chapters. Everything is run on a philanthropical basis. We do it to highlight the great people and their ideas, in the city we live in. Find more information about Creative Mornings here

We have made a video as a counterpart to the zine we made for the Northside Festival 2012. Our goal with the video was to capture the atmosphere of the festival.

We got a last second request to do a wall drawing during a art market, so we made this drawing.

We made this video from Mejlgade for mangfoldighed where we also hosted a "draw more club wall".

We are supporting the creation of many Zines to come, and believe that every city needs a place where one can go to produce a publication and read other peoples productions. We frequently travel with our huge collection of zines, setting up our Library in varies galleries. Often with a zine workshop attached. 

So far we've been in Aarhus, Copenhagen, Vienna and Stockholm

For more info on hosting the library in your city or town, pls. get in contact. 

We made an animation explaining the features of the MTG Pulse Premium site.

During festugen we were asked to design and create 2 art installations. One for the cinema Øst for paradis to create a sense of a roof in their yard. And one for the one day jazz festival in Atlas to help make the space smaller and work as seating arrangements.

We design and facilitate zine factorys, where one can join in on live collective zine making. This concept works well for any kind of group, organization, community or business that are curious to dive into their minds to discover what they want to say on paper. We do this with or without themes. Strict regulations or no regulations. 

These days the zine factory along with everything zine related is part of our sup-department Batteri

We designed the poster and a powerpoint for a national campaign for the organization FYGO (foreningen af yngre gynækologer og obstetrikere). The purpose of the campaign is to create a better learning environment at the hospitals in Denmark.

We made a interactive installation existing of 100 handmade wooden cubes for the opening of the cultural space "The Cube" in Horsens. At the opening people could rearrange and play with the cubes, and at the end take one home to hack. We made a zine with DIY recipes of how to transform a cube to a lamp, flower pot, green house etc.

A zine is most commonly a small circulation publication of original or appropriated texts and images. More broadly, the term encompasses any self-published work of minority interest usually reproduced via photocopier.  -Wikipedia 2011

At the start of Sideprojects we curated, designed and produced a monthly zine called "sideprojects zine". The idea with the zine was that we each month would pick a theme, invite whoever wanted to make something inspired by the theme, and put it all together into a zine. Each of the 4 editions were produced in an edition of 100 and spread throughout Aarhus.

Designed the cover for the CD of Århus based band Fred Voltage.
