Skagen-Gibraltar
7,000 km along the
West Coast of Europe
In autumn 2003 Jens Fink-Jensen travelled all the way
from the northernmost point of Denmark's Jutland peninsular along the
10,000 kilometres long west coast of continental Europe to Gibraltar; a trip of more than 7,000
kilometres.
The book based on the journey,
presenting the cultural differences and similarities of this mutual
westcoast of Europe, was released in English and Danish editions on 30
October 2008.
In 2010 the exhibition will come on display at
the
Maritime Museum Rotterdam (the Netherlands) from 13 February to 10 October, and
from 5 February to 18 April at the
Musée portuaire in Dunkerque, France.
After the first display at the
Fisheries and
Maritime Museum in Esbjerg, Denmark
(31 October 2008 to 17 April 2009), the
West Coast of Europe exhibition was on display in Dunkerque, France, from
3 June to 30 August 2009 in the historic setting of the Fort des Dunes, 6 kms north of the
town.
The exhibition was for the first time on display from 31
October 2008
to 17 April 2009
