Tomas Lagermand Lundme

Work for Live Art Denmark
2013 “A is for Abe” at Samtalekøkken, with Caspar Sloth.

A is for Abe
Tomas’ contribution to our Samtalekøkkenet in February 2013 was a performative reading of his book, ”A for abe og b for bavian – Nationalmuseets alfabet” from 2012. It was read by actor Casper Sloth, while Tomas sat next to him, staring. For Tomas, the reading was an investigation of presence in a situation with an audience present.

About the Artist
Tomas Lagermand Lundme received his artistic education at the Royal Art Academy of Denmark, graduating in 2002. During his studies, he also attended the writer’s school (Forfatterskolen), which is reflected in his current work as a writer of novels and for newspapers. Today, he works across disciplines, writing novels for adults and children, news articles, radio plays, but also as a photographer and an artist in performance, video and the visual genre. However, diciplines are never clearly separated in his work, but he strives to cross and interveave them in new ways.
