Homage to Hans Vinding

Hippie forever!

In March, the Gallopperiet shows a hippie-museum exhibition, where Hans Vinding's quivering

pastel `blot' paintings emerge from the depths of his sister Karen Vinding's garage. All his days, Hans Vinding was, on an equal footing with poetry, passionately involved in his painting and left behind a series of works of startling modernity. He had his very private and recognizable impressionism running, appearing as icons over his vibrating mind. The display includes many of Hans V.'s canvases that have never been shown together before.

The exhibition has been catalyzed by the re-release in February 2014 of Hyldemor's Grønsagligheder - the LP: `Lysene tände' from 1975 and Loppen's concert success HYLDEST on 15 February 2014, which testified that no one had forgotten this glorious disc.

Few people fulfill the term multi-artist as well as Hans Vinding: Paintings, songs, poems, events, cabaret, happenings, Circus Insane, Indian farer, poetic priest and word magician - swashbuckler and social satirist, as he was.

Now, many friends from that time have contributed to creating this museum exhibition – friends from Nivågaard, Klub 27, Furekåben, Hyldemor's Grønsagligheder, Hyldemor, Plus Four, H.Sapiens, Red Rose, Faktor 10, Kys, Månefiskeren, Circus, Operaen and Gallopperiet - have contributed memories, photos, painting clothes and calligraphically painted lines from Hans's poetry, films, handwritten manuscripts, plus more strange things, which we look forward to building the exhibition of in the run-up to the opening on March 8 at 15. If you have memories, bring them!

The main thing is that Hans', to put it mildly, quirky humor enlivened our lives further in these euphoric years. Despite his humble appearance, he was one of the leaders of the hippie era - Hippie forever !!
