Fairy Tale
This book contains contributions by the artists: Peter Callesen, Paul Morrison, Vanessa Jane Pfaff, Kiki Smith, Annelies Strba, and, Janaina Tschape. It includes essays by Angela Kingston and Stella Beddoe, and an introduction by Deborah Robinson. Fairy Tale looks at art that re-visits well-known fairy tales, fashioning them for our own times. It also explores artworks that are charged with the atmosphere of these tales. Fairy tales have never stopped evolving, and the featured artists have taken stories such as Little Red Riding Hood, Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid, and have given them their own, surprising spin. Their work is discussed by curator of the exhibition, Angela Kingston while an essay by Stella Beddoe describes how fairy tales have developed over successive generations. Earlier versions of two fairy tales are also included in the book. This publication accompanies the exhibition of the same name at The New Art Gallery, Walsall and Chapter, Cardiff.
Fortrængt grusomhed
Under Anden Verdenskrig meldte 12.000 danskere sig til Waffen-SS, heraf kom ca. 6.000 til at gøre krigstjeneste i Frikorps Danmark eller andre formationer under SS. Danskerne var at finde på Østfronten, Vestfronten og på Balkan og gjorde tjeneste i et utal af funktioner i den store tyske SS-organisation. Efter 1945 hævdede de frivillige, at de blot havde været kampsoldater og ikke deltaget i krigsforbrydelser. Med Fortrængt grusomhed. Danske SS-vagter 1941-45 dokumenteres det for første gang med udgangspunkt i hidtil ukendt materiale fra danske og udenlandske arkiver, at danske SS-frivillige deltog i krigs- og folkedrabsforbrydelser de nazistiske koncentrationslejre. Nogle danskere blev uddannet og trænet i vold direkte ved kz-lejre som Sachsenhausen, Dachau og Neuengamme, andre blev overført til vagttjeneste i kz-lejre efter at have været sårede ved fronten. Og der var ikke kun tale om enkelttilfælde. Flere hundrede danskere endte som SS-vagter i kz- og lignende tvangslejre. Nogle af dem begik beviseligt forbrydelser, der i grusomhed ikke stod tilbage for de værste, der blev begået under krigen. Det er disse glemte gerningsmænd, denne bog handler om.
