All the Orange Books - in Academia di Romania - Rome
All the Orange Books is based on the all the orange books in the Academia di Romania’s library. The library holds some 33,000 books, mainly in the Romanian language. Janne first photographed all the orange books in the library, and then compiled and digitally ordered them according to the library’s own classification system. Malmros believes that a library is a reflection of its cultural and political heritage: from A to W, from Apulum to Who’s Who (via Tintin and Dracula), the orange books illuminate Romania’s past and present, and her view of the wider world.

ABSTRACTED MYTHOLOGIES Transposing Cultural Memory into the Visual Present
I am taking part in the exhibition ABSTRACTED MYTHOLOGIES Transposing Cultural Memory into the Visual Present at 5th Base Gallery, Whitechapel, London.
The term 'cultural hegemony' has often been used to describe the assimilation into, or displacement by, one system of cultural reference by another. From antiquity to the present day, closer observation reveals less a contest of competing narratives and mythologies than a layering of symbol systems through a process of interaction and dialogue. Abstracted Mythologies aims to replicate this process of transcultural synthesis through staging a similar dialogue of multiple cultural perspectives through the medium of visual art, exploring not only the interactions between foundational systems of reference but also highlighting differing modes of visual transposition, ranging from the non-objective to allusive figuration.
Talk about The book Useful Plants of Wakhan and Pamir
I will be giving a talk with etnobotanist Jens Soelberg about The book Useful Plants of Wakhan and Pamir at FOF Gentofte about the book Useful Plants of Wakhan and Pamir, which Janne did the illustrations and pictograms for.

My work forms part of the show Secret Watercolour at Incinerator Art Space in Sydney.
Watercolour drawing for its own sake has long been seen as a lesser form of Fine Art
and during Colonial times in Australia, a predominately feminine preoccupation. Some of this prejudice has remained amongst sculptors until relatively recently.
This exhibition brings together the private watercolour drawings of five international
women sculptors, juxtaposed with examples from their sculptural practice.

AN Surface Noise review by Annabel Tilley
Defying definition
Printmaking is alive and well, and thriving, at London’s Jerwood Space. Surface Noise is a new exhibition in the Jerwood Encounters series, curated by Gill Saunders & John MacKechnie, and featuring the work of seven artists: Claire Barclay, Claire Bayliss, Carolyn Bunt, Dorothy Cross, Michael Fullerton, Janne Malmros and Scott Myles.
Artist’s whose practice is predominantly drawing, like mine, sometimes approach printmaking with a feeling of missing the actual mark of the artist’s hand, and a vague notion of the printmaker being somehow detached from their subject due to the nature of the process. However, not only was this not the case but Gill Saunders’s catalogue essay actually addresses the question of how print is often discriminated against due to the ‘ongoing confusion between those vexed categories, ‘original’ and ‘reproduction’; finally concluding that it ‘is now embedded in contemporary fine art practice’, continues to thrive’ and ‘defies definition.’ This was helpful in setting recent print-making history and debate in context.
In fact, rather mischievously, Surface Noise showed how the artist’s hand can be present in many different and unexpected ways as the viewer discovered prints that had been physically cut in to [Janne Malmros]; prints that had been hand-pasted onto the wall like billboard posters [Michael Fullerton]; and even a series of prints [Dororthy Cross] that featured a pair of entwined hands at the heart of them.
