Designed by: Bjorn Norgaard , f. 1947, Danish artist. Bjorn Norgaard was in 1964 recorded on the ex-school , where he learned the importance of collectively performed work and to renew art materials in works that appealed to dialogue with society. Joseph Beuys inspired the young Norgaard to an alternative socially critical manifesto and action art, often shaped like material studies of experimental and socially stressed character; sm his wife, Lene Adler Petersen , he staged in 1969 with the challenging operating the female Christ on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange, and a year later, the even more controversial Horse Sacrifice place on an open field. Horse Slaughter was interpreted as a protest against the Vietnam war, mass killings, but the ritual full artistic dimension occurred only through media coverage and the nationwide wave of protests against animal cruelty. Nørgaard sympathy with the ideology behind the 68-insurgency resulted, in particular in the journal Hætsjj , published several times a week in 1968-70, the ex-school's print shop, built by Norgaard themselves and in film with such Supper (1971), long banned.
