Freya
Statens Museum For Kunst, Copenhagen
14. January 2007
 
 

Statens Museum For Kunst has series of Danish celebrities to speak about selected pieces of art from the Museum's collection in order to promt visitors to the museum, not usually part of their target group.
So Freya was requested to give her contribution aimed to the younger generation.

Freya choose to mix the lecture with some songs matching the content of her lecture. This appeared to work out very well.

Freya had selected the following pieces of art to give her personal opinion on:

  01. Jacob Jordaens: Susanna og de to ældste (1653)
02. Edward Munch: Aftenpassiar (1889)
03. Ejnar Nielsen: Og i hans øjne så jeg døden (1897)
04. Henri Matisse: Selvportræt (1906)
05. Emil Nolde: Barn og stor frugt (1912)
06. Pablo Picasso: Nøgen kvinde, liggende ved vindue (1971)
07. Julie Nord: Nothing's Real (2003)
08. Kathrine Ærtebjerg: Forvandling, Forsvinding (2003)
09. Kathrine Ærtebjerg: Hun var aldrig alene (2004)

  

In between she played a handful of beautyful songs. All her own creations of previously unrecorded material, except for one cover song, Top Of The World from the 2002 album, Home by Dixie Chicks.
This was a country song, and Freya's voice is so fit for exactly this kind of country! So I hope that her new album will take inspiration from the American country pop tradition, mixed with some rough rock, bringing it all back home to the Tea With The Queen style, which made Freya a big shot in 1999.

Here are the songs that Freya gave:

 

The Set List:
01. Love Me Today
02. Paper Cut
03. Top Of The World (Patty Griffin)
04. Falling To Pieces
05. It's Still You

Freya: vo, ac.g

I'm not able to meet Freya without making a portrait of her pretty face

 


I know what Freya thinks: "Crazy photographer!"

 


Freya's girl friend from her collage days, Karen,
was present, too. She's the one Freya
wrote the song, She's Always On Her Mind, about.
Karen has her own band, The Girl Who Loved Horses,
playing fast neo-punk! Watch out for them!
