Stig Brøgger
Stig Brøgger (8 December 1941 – 8 February 2021) was a Danish artist who worked with sculpture, painting, installations and photography. His aims have always been to show how art contributes to man's experience of life and his understanding of the surrounding world. Biography Born in Slagelse, Brøgger studied political science at the University of Copenhagen (1960–67) but also studied art at Eks-skolen (the experimental art school) from 1964 to 1966. In the 1960s, he began to develop new trends in Danish art, influenced by developments in the United States in the areas of Minimal Art, Land Art and Conceptual Art. He helped to communicate his ideas by presenting illustrated articles in the art journal ''ta. Early works included ''De fire temperamenter'' (The Four Temperaments, 1966) consisting of large figures covering the exhibition walls, ''Lady Luck'' (1967), which was repositioned every day providing different effects, and the ''Pamela Series'' (1968) depicting the same p ...

People From Slagelse
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
