Installation: Kaarina Kaikkonen – 'We Need Some Hope'
Façade of Charlottenborg
For CHART 2022, artist Kaarina Kaikkonen has created a site-specific installation for the façade of Charlottenborg, facing towards the historical plaza at Kongens Nytorv. Shaped like a monumental blooming flower, the work will both highlight the entrance to CHART and extend the dialogue with contemporary art, out of Charlottenborg and into the city centre.
The installation is composed of hundreds of recycled shirts, pointing towards the historical consistency of humanity’s basic needs, regardless of period, cultural paradigm or environmental conditions.
The installation is kindly supported by Frame Contemporary Art Finland as well as Kulturfonden for Danmark og Finland.
Kaarina Kaikkonen’s work will also be on-view with Galerie Forsblom inside Kunsthal Charlottenborg. -

Film: Steina and Woody Vasulka – ‘Heraldic View’ and ‘Soundsize’
Cinema
For CHART 2022, BERG Contemporary will present two historical works by video art pioneers Steina and Woody Vasulka. ‘Soundsize’ (1974) showcases the Vasulkas' investigation into the relationship between sound and image, as a pattern of dots is modulated by sounds generated from a synthesizer, changing size and shape as a visual manifestation of electronic sound.
In ‘Heraldic View’ (1974), an oscillator-generated pattern drifts over a camera image of bricks and stone. Throughout, the patterns are modulated by sharp bursts of voltage generated by an audio synthesizer.
The artworks are included in the CHART Cinema Programme; a series of videos presented in a loop at the cinema in Kunsthal Charlottenborg throughout the fair. Other works by the Vasulkas will be presented by BERG Contemporary in Kunsthal Charlottenborg. -

Film: Sigurður Guðjónsson – ‘Lightroom’
Cinema
For CHART 2022, BERG Contemporary will present a video by Sigurður Guðjónsson entitled ‘Lightroom’ (2018). An enchanting space, lit up by an old slide projector, is documented with a high-definition camera. In the process, the mechanical movement of processes that are not usually visible become perceptible via an audio-visual experience.
Guðjónsson often manipulates outdated devices to give them a new abstract life. In the process, he extracts the poetic beauty from technology, revealing a productive mechanism at the point where old meets the new.

Film: Jani Ruscica - ‘No Dot on the I’
Cinema
For CHART 2022, Galerie Anhava will present a video by Jani Ruscica entitled ‘No Dot on the I’ (2021). The work questions specificity, what constitutes the essence of something and the point at which a thing might turn into something else. It does so by pushing against the edges of signs, binaries, and categories. Specificity takes place when essence becomes meaning and it transforms itself into a sign, a word, an index, a sentence and finally a book that is put on a shelf and left there. Ruscica’s aim is to disrupt this order.

Film: Akay & Olabo - ‘Domino’
Cinema
For CHART 2022, Galleri Steinsland Berliner will present ‘Domino’ (2016) by Akay & Olabo.
The film depicts a discontinued lumber yard where a wealth of material has been left behind. What’s the harm in making sure things don’t go to waste? This film explores how small actions can have big consequences.
Akay & Olabo have a history of setting up illicit installations and various other creative vandalisms in public places. Their recent collaborations have taken them out of traditional urban spaces and into areas that have been designated as “off-limits”: condemned warehouses, empty office buildings, decommissioned timber yards and the like.
They’ve gained access and had keys made to half a dozen abandoned properties around Stockholm. They’ve gone into places where teargas still lingers from police practice drills, where water leaks have transformed rooms into blue-green mold marshes, or where they find a perfectly preserved office environment from the eighties. Most of the time, they end up finding themselves inside an anticlimactic industrial building, where it simply appears everyone left one day and forgot to lock the door.
The artwork is included in the CHART Cinema Programme; a series of videos presented in a loop at the cinema in Kunsthal Charlottenborg throughout the fair.

Film: Julia Peirone - ‘I am not blonde’
Cinema
For CHART 2022, Dorothée Nilsson Gallery will present a video by Julia Peirone entitled “I am not blonde” (2022), in which the artist asks a series of girls to recreate Marilyn Monroe’s iconic appearance. Expanding on Peirone’s signature interests, the work explores aspects of vulnerability, shame, and sexuality in a time when social media is coming to play an increasingly significant role in the construction of individual identities.
In ‘I am not blonde’ the artist positions a camera in front of consecutive subjects, assuming the POV of a mirror, thus capturing a sequence of intimate moments as these girls consciously or unconsciously explore how classic signifiers of femininity - painted lips, long eyelashes - can be used to create masks to hide behind or provide access to elevated positions of power. In conjunction with the filming process for ‘I am not blonde’, Peirone also captured a series of portraits showing the girls in full make-up, which are currently on display at Liljevalchs in Stockholm.
The artwork is included in the CHART Cinema Programme; a series of videos presented in a loop at the cinema in Kunsthal Charlottenborg throughout the fair.

Film: Lauri Astala – ‘Sketch for the Last Map’
Cinema
For CHART 2022, Galleria Heino presents a video by Lauri Astala entitled ‘Sketch for the Last Map’ (2022). The work was shot between several cities in Belgium, South Korea, India, France, Turkey and Uruguay between 2014 and 2020. Overlapping layered images of indoor and outdoor spaces are displayed – as if the buildings had become translucent. The individual image layers of which each “situation” in the film are comprised, are all taken from the same city and some even from the exact same place.
The artwork is included in the CHART Cinema Programme; a series of videos presented in a loop at the cinema in Kunsthal Charlottenborg throughout the fair.

Special Presentation: Poul Gernes at CHART
Foyer at Charlottenborg
In the foyer of Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Gernes-Fonden will present works from one of Poul Gernes’ (1921-1996) iconic Masonite series, executed for his decoration of the basement at the Panum Institute in Copenhagen around 1980.
The Panum series consists of various stylized flower motifs, each framed by an ornamented frieze. Each flower is symmetrically arranged around a central axis creating a kind of folksy harmony in a space intended to dissect body parts at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences.
Gernes-Fonden is a non-profit charitable foundation supporting artists contributing to contemporary society, and expanding knowledge around the life and work of Poul Gernes.

Installation: Aske Olsen – 'Everything is Real'
Courtyard
The work ‘Everything is Real’ by Danish artist Aske Olsen has been created for the exhibition ‘Another Surrealism’ opening at Den Frie on 25 August. During CHART, the work will be presented in the courtyard of Charlottenborg before relocating to its place in front of Den Frie.
‘Everything is Real’ is a complex collage built from poetic statements, artistic fragments and loose references and associations. Consisting of two LED screens placed on a trailer, the work simulates the format of moving-image advertisements as they can often be seen across big cities, referencing the incessant bombardment and production of images that characterises much of our contemporary experience. -

Performance: Kristina Matousch - 'Squat'
Cecilia Hillström Gallery's Booth
For CHART 2022, Cecilia Hillström Gallery will present ‘Squat’, a solo presentation by Kristina Matousch featuring sculptures, wall objects and a new performative project.
The presentation circles around time, space, body and movement, in particular, the stillness of the moment before something happens.
For the performance, an aluminium box will be installed high up in the corner of the booth; fragments of a body will be visible as someone moves inside this claustrophobic space
There will be a filmic quality to the performance realised inside the box, with naked skin pressing onto the glass and flattening out against the surface. The box is imagined as a hiding place, offering protection from what is going on in the installation below.

Cinema
‘Those Who Kept the Lights’ is based on ten poetic manuscripts written by artist Nastja Säde Rönkkö (FI) while travelling through the barren Nordic landscapes. The film reflects on our relationship to the sea through queer-feminist maritime narratives, as well as exploring the importance of vulnerability, care, and collective mythic memory in the battle against climate change.
Join us for a screening of one of the film’s ten chapters, followed by an artist talk with Nastja Säde Rönkkö in conversation with curator Aura Seikkula (FI) and Director of Kunsthal Rønnebæksholm Lotte Juul Petersen (DK).

Book Fair

Book Signing: Lisa Strömbeck - 'In Bed'
Book Fair
For CHART 2022, Lisa Strömbeck will join us for a book signing of her book ‘In Bed’ (2022), a series of photographs that center around the hierarchical relationship between humans and animals. Often zoomed in on specific details, Strömbeck’s photographs seem to render their subjects largely anonymous. The more the artist isolates and removes, the more important the details become.
The signing is presented by Woodpecker Projects and will take place at their table in the book fair. -
26 Aug
15.00 — 16.00
Book Signing: Magnus Cederlund - 'Skin Close' and 'Intime'

Book reading: Anders Lee-Larsen - Rasputitsa (2022)
Book Fair
Presented by hurricane publishing, Anders Lee-Larsen will read from Rasputitsa, his poetic work on the first 21 days of the war in Ukraine. It is not about the outcome of the war, the unfolding of history in victories and defeat, but instead a movement into the essence of war. Through Rasputitsa runs the nerve of 2022, where everyone has a camera and we follow the war directly from individuals in the crossfire; these voices are included unedited via their tweets, so the work collects a polyphonic choir of voices.

Artist Talk: Thorbjørn Sørensen
Chapel
Thorbjørn Sørensen (NO) is an artist in constant search for painterly possibilities, working with naturalistic watercolours, figurative works and fully abstract paintings. His motifs are often inspired by day-to-day life and overlooked scenes or unnoticed objects. His works are distinctly relaxed and playful, but at the same time maintain a strong and subtle relationship to the history of painting.
For the talk at CHART 2022, Sørensen will be joined by longstanding director of Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, and newly appointed director at MUNCH, Tone Hansen. The talk will focus on the artist’s practice and will take Sørensen and Hansen’s shared interest in tennis as a starting point.

Film Premiere: August Rosenbaum x Freja Sofie Kirk x Kamil Dossar – 'Enterprise'
Cinema
‘Enterprise’ is a new video work by artists Freja Sofie Kirk and Kamil Dossar. Based on three unreleased songs from August Rosenbaum’s forthcoming album, the video will premiere in a special screening, in advance of August Rosenbaum’s performance in the courtyard of Charlottenborg the same evening.
Led by a slight breeze, we are taken from an empty house in the suburbs of Las Vegas to the surrounding desert. The house seems to almost migrate with the deserted landscapes and we are left with a feeling that “the home” exists as a standardised construction - its architecture and interior only brought to life by wind and music.
The duration of the video is 10 minutes and will loop continuously between 18:00 and 19:00. -

19.00 — 19.30

Music: Brodie Sessions presents ML Buch
Canteen
ML Buch (Marie Louise Buch) will be playing her signature electronic synth-heavy pieces: guitar based songs with strong melodies and cinematic instrumentals as connective tissue - like a score to an imagined movie or an open-world game.

In 2020 she released her critically acclaimed debut album Skinned on the Danish imprint Anyines. A luminous album with expansive guitar work and catchy melodies, visually accompanied by self-produced music videos as well as a full album-length video.

Canteen
Naima Bock will perform an intimate set of songs from her recently released and critically acclaimed debut album 'Giant Palm (Sub Pop/Memorials of Distinction)'.

Born in Glastonbury to a Brazilian father and a Greek mother, Naima Bock spent her early childhood in Brazil before eventually returning to England. This heritage of Brazilian standards and European folk traditions partners well with the pursuits that interest her today: studies in archaeology, work as a gardener, and walking nature’s great trails. Bock’s music draws from family, the earth and the handing down of music through generations.

Film: Jani Ruscica - ‘No Dot on the I’
Cinema
For CHART 2022, Galerie Anhava will present a video by Jani Ruscica entitled ‘No Dot on the I’ (2021). The work questions specificity, what constitutes the essence of something and the point at which a thing might turn into something else. It does so by pushing against the edges of signs, binaries, and categories. Specificity takes place when essence becomes meaning and it transforms itself into a sign, a word, an index, a sentence and finally a book that is put on a shelf and left there. Ruscica’s aim is to disrupt this order.

Overlapping layered images of indoor and outdoor spaces are displayed – as if the buildings had become translucent. The individual image layers of which each “situation” in the film are comprised, are all taken from the same city and some even from the exact same place.
The artwork is included in the CHART Cinema Programme; a series of videos presented in a loop at the cinema in Kunsthal Charlottenborg throughout the fair.

Special Presentation: Poul Gernes at CHART
Foyer at Charlottenborg
In the foyer of Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Gernes-Fonden will present works from one of Poul Gernes’ (1921-1996) iconic Masonite series, executed for his decoration of the basement at the Panum Institute in Copenhagen around 1980.
The Panum series consists of various stylized flower motifs, each framed by an ornamented frieze. Each flower is symmetrically arranged around a central axis creating a kind of folksy harmony in a space intended to dissect body parts at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences.
Gernes-Fonden is a non-profit charitable foundation supporting artists contributing to contemporary society, and expanding knowledge around the life and work of Poul Gernes.

Installation: Aske Olsen – 'Everything is Real'
Courtyard
The work ‘Everything is Real’ by Danish artist Aske Olsen has been created for the exhibition ‘Another Surrealism’ opening at Den Frie on 25 August. During CHART, the work will be presented in the courtyard of Charlottenborg before relocating to its place in front of Den Frie.
‘Everything is Real’ is a complex collage built from poetic statements, artistic fragments and loose references and associations. Consisting of two LED screens placed on a trailer, the work simulates the format of moving-image advertisements as they can often be seen across big cities, referencing the incessant bombardment and production of images that characterises much of our contemporary experience. -

Film: Akay & Olabo - ‘Domino’
Cinema
For CHART 2022, Galleri Steinsland Berliner will present ‘Domino’ (2016) by Akay & Olabo.
The film depicts a discontinued lumber yard where a wealth of material has been left behind. What’s the harm in making sure things don’t go to waste? This film explores how small actions can have big consequences.
Akay & Olabo have a history of setting up illicit installations and various other creative vandalisms in public places. Their recent collaborations have taken them out of traditional urban spaces and into areas that have been designated as “off-limits”: condemned warehouses, empty office buildings, decommissioned timber yards and the like.
They’ve gained access and had keys made to half a dozen abandoned properties around Stockholm. They’ve gone into places where teargas still lingers from police practice drills, where water leaks have transformed rooms into blue-green mold marshes, or where they find a perfectly preserved office environment from the eighties. Most of the time, they end up finding themselves inside an anticlimactic industrial building, where it simply appears everyone left one day and forgot to lock the door.
The artwork is included in the CHART Cinema Programme; a series of videos presented in a loop at the cinema in Kunsthal Charlottenborg throughout the fair.

Film: ORLAN - 'La liberté en écorchée et deux ORLAN corps'
Cinema
In two special screenings in the cinema at CHART, the artist ORLAN will present their film “La liberté en écorchée et deux ORLAN corps” (2015). The film is presented in collaboration with a new artist-run institution: MoNDA – Museum of Nordic Digital Art, launching at CHART 2022.
In the video ‘La liberté en écorchée et deux ORLAN corps,’ ORLAN presents a computer-generated rendering of the artist’s flayed body, as a self-portrait. Engaging in dialogue with themes relating to racism, feminism and the idea of the cyborg, the figure depicted in this self-portrait assumes the role of the Statue of Liberty, showing how essential freedom is to any artist working with their body in a social, political, sexual and/or religious context.
The video will be presented in the cinema on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th August at 12:00.

Artist Talk and Screening: Yael Bartana
Cinema
“What if women ruled the world?” Yael Bartana stages the question in ‘Two Minutes to Midnight’ (2021, 48 mins) where the all-women government of an imaginary country must reach a unanimous decision regarding an imminent nuclear threat from a foreign nation. A panel of fictional characters and real-life experts in fields such as defence, law, politics and psychology, convene in a democratic ‘Peace Room’, mirroring the masculine ‘War Room’ in Stanley Kubrick’s classic Cold War satire, ‘Dr. Strangelove’. The women are tasked with deciding how to approach the prescribed situation. Bartana’s visionary work is the synthesis of an interdisciplinary four-year process that analyses the great geopolitical power game, and presents us with an alternative to macho-oriented power discourse.
Following the screening, meet Yael Bartana in conversation with senior curator of contemporary art at the MUNCH Museum, Tominga O’Donnell.
'Two Minutes To Midnight' is presented in cooperation with Cecilia Hillström Gallery, Stockholm.

Photographer Susanne Otterberg's third book is a declaration of love for her hometown Gothenburg.
Speaking about the project, Otterberg reflects: "Gamlestan is an old and important industrial and working-class district with a long history. The neighbourhood has a tarnished reputation but is now becoming trendy. New infrastructure and new residential buildings are growing like mushrooms out of the ground. The old industrial premises are filled with cafes, restaurants, housing and cultural activities. The old town's facades are plastered, but nothing can take away its history.I myself have lived in Gamlestan with my family for many years, in the same house that my grandmother, grandfather and mother all lived in."

Artist Talk: Sofia Hultén
Chapel
Using video, sculpture and photography, artist Sofia Hultén (SE) reveals the inalienable characteristics of everyday objects. The individual histories of articles, like a steam roller or a sofa cushion, are contained in a patina of rust, scratches and dirt. Sofia Hultén finds integrity and dignity in these materials while the performative aspect of her practice embraces the absurd spirit of television sitcoms.
For CHART 2022, we are delighted to present a conversation between Hultén and Marianne Dobner, curator at mumok.
Sofia Hultén’s work will also be on view in a solo presentation by Galerie Nordenhake.

Music: Brodie Sessions presents Ydegirl
Canteen
Join us for a concert by Ydegirl, who’s music intertwines past and present destinies in a universe of swamp pop, R'n'B elements, and Nordic chamber music. Classical instruments play alongside drums, electric guitar, and synthesizers, with Ydegirl’s alluring voice hovering somewhere in the middle, singing about feelings of the past, present and future; about existing in a state of limbo; and of split thoughts in unique, sonic compositions.
Ydegirl is the alias of Danish producer and songwriter Andrea Novel. The name derives from a 2000-year-old teenager, who was found in a bog in the town of Yde in 1897. Ydegirl released her much-praised debut EP 'notes19 (Escho)' in 2019, a collection of beautiful and particular songs that present themselves as a kind of diary.
The concert is one in a series of concerts presented by Brodie Sessions for CHART 2022.

Music: DJ – Christian d’Or
Courtyard
Over the course of the last 15 years or so, Christian d’Or has been a permanent, left-field fixture on the Copenhagen music and nightlife scene. His compelling and personal take on the culture of music, coupled with his ability for matching old records with the sound of now, has seen him carve out a resilient space for himself within the restless Copenhagen music scene.
Growing up as a hip hop kid in Holstebro, Denmark, Christian's love of the vinyl record pushed him further into nuanced musical horizons and increasingly esoteric vibrations. Today, Christian’s name represents a singular perspective on musical freedom, centered around the amorphous blobs of musical energy known as soul, jazz, disco, house and psychedelia.
If an unholy human hybrid of Skatebård and DJ Harvey walked the Earth and ran a music-flavored vintage store in Copenhagen’s culturally diverse Nørrebro neighbourhood, it might look a lot like Christian d’Or. -

Installation: Kaarina Kaikkonen – 'We Need Some Hope'
Façade of Charlottenborg
For CHART 2022, artist Kaarina Kaikkonen has created a site-specific installation for the façade of Charlottenborg, facing towards the historical plaza at Kongens Nytorv. Shaped like a monumental blooming flower, the work will both highlight the entrance to CHART and extend the dialogue with contemporary art, out of Charlottenborg and into the city centre.
The installation is composed of hundreds of recycled shirts, pointing towards the historical consistency of humanity’s basic needs, regardless of period, cultural paradigm or environmental conditions.
The installation is kindly supported by Frame Contemporary Art Finland as well as Kulturfonden for Danmark og Finland.
Kaarina Kaikkonen’s work will also be on-view with Galerie Forsblom inside Kunsthal Charlottenborg. -

Film: Steina and Woody Vasulka – ‘Heraldic View’ and ‘Soundsize’
Cinema
For CHART 2022, BERG Contemporary will present two historical works by video art pioneers Steina and Woody Vasulka. ‘Soundsize’ (1974) showcases the Vasulkas' investigation into the relationship between sound and image, as a pattern of dots is modulated by sounds generated from a synthesizer, changing size and shape as a visual manifestation of electronic sound.
In ‘Heraldic View’ (1974), an oscillator-generated pattern drifts over a camera image of bricks and stone. Throughout, the patterns are modulated by sharp bursts of voltage generated by an audio synthesizer.
The artworks are included in the CHART Cinema Programme; a series of videos presented in a loop at the cinema in Kunsthal Charlottenborg throughout the fair. Other works by the Vasulkas will be presented by BERG Contemporary in Kunsthal Charlottenborg. -

Film: Sigurður Guðjónsson – ‘Lightroom’
Cinema
For CHART 2022, BERG Contemporary will present a video by Sigurður Guðjónsson entitled ‘Lightroom’ (2018). An enchanting space, lit up by an old slide projector, is documented with a high-definition camera. In the process, the mechanical movement of processes that are not usually visible become perceptible via an audio-visual experience.
Guðjónsson often manipulates outdated devices to give them a new abstract life. In the process, he extracts the poetic beauty from technology, revealing a productive mechanism at the point where old meets the new.
The artwork is included in the CHART Cinema Programme; a series of videos presented in a loop at the cinema in Kunsthal Charlottenborg throughout the fair.
Sigurður Guðjónsson’s works will also be presented by BERG Contemporary in Kunsthal Charlottenborg. -

Film: Jani Ruscica - ‘No Dot on the I’
Cinema
For CHART 2022, Galerie Anhava will present a video by Jani Ruscica entitled ‘No Dot on the I’ (2021). The work questions specificity, what constitutes the essence of something and the point at which a thing might turn into something else. It does so by pushing against the edges of signs, binaries, and categories. Specificity takes place when essence becomes meaning and it transforms itself into a sign, a word, an index, a sentence and finally a book that is put on a shelf and left there. Ruscica’s aim is to disrupt this order.
The artwork is included in the CHART Cinema Programme; a series of videos presented in a loop at the cinema in Kunsthal Charlottenborg throughout the fair.
Jani Ruscica’s works will also be presented at Galerie Anhava in Kunsthal Charlottenborg. -

Film: Julia Peirone - ‘I am not blonde’
Cinema
For CHART 2022, Dorothée Nilsson Gallery will present a video by Julia Peirone entitled “I am not blonde” (2022), in which the artist asks a series of girls to recreate Marilyn Monroe’s iconic appearance. Expanding on Peirone’s signature interests, the work explores aspects of vulnerability, shame, and sexuality in a time when social media is coming to play an increasingly significant role in the construction of individual identities.
In ‘I am not blonde’ the artist positions a camera in front of consecutive subjects, assuming the POV of a mirror, thus capturing a sequence of intimate moments as these girls consciously or unconsciously explore how classic signifiers of femininity - painted lips, long eyelashes - can be used to create masks to hide behind or provide access to elevated positions of power. In conjunction with the filming process for ‘I am not blonde’, Peirone also captured a series of portraits showing the girls in full make-up, which are currently on display at Liljevalchs in Stockholm.
The artwork is included in the CHART Cinema Programme; a series of videos presented in a loop at the cinema in Kunsthal Charlottenborg throughout the fair.

In the video ‘La liberté en écorchée et deux ORLAN corps,’ ORLAN presents a computer-generated rendering of the artist’s flayed body, as a self-portrait. Engaging in dialogue with themes relating to racism, feminism and the idea of the cyborg, the figure depicted in this self-portrait assumes the role of the Statue of Liberty, showing how essential freedom is to any artist working with their body in a social, political, sexual and/or religious context.
The video will be presented in the cinema on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th August at 12:00.

Book Signing: Karl Henrik Edlund - 'Eden' and 'Bright Hours'
Book Fair
At CHART 2022, Journal will launch Karl Henrik Edlund’s new book ‘Eden’ (2022) as will also offer copies of his 2016 publication ‘Bright Hours’ for sale. ‘Eden’ compiles a series of images taken by the Finnish photographer, on the island of the same name, between 2004-2020.
Reflecting on his interest in the specific site of Eden, Edlund writes: “The sea surrounds the island, one of more than 6,700 in the Åland archipelago. The island's solid bedrock with grooves, veins and cracks is shaped by time. Formerly the place was rugged; full of spindly pines, junipers and tall wild grass. Grandfather cleared and planted noble hardwoods from nearby islets. He planted a garden of herbs and berry bushes and fruit trees. At the beach, he cast a concrete seal. The place was called Eden, after the biblical paradise, and our last name.”
‘Bright Hours’, Edlund’s previous publication from 2016, refers to something past – an uncertain place that does not exist, something fragile and indefinite.
The project, which started in 2008, is based on journeys to the Arctic North, Kola Peninsula and Nenets Autonomous Okrug in northwest Russia. The book also contains photographs from other places, like Saint Petersburg and the Åland islands.
The signings with Karl Henrik Edlund will take place at Journal’s table in the book fair. -
