How can the Danish lawn be read and interpreted through the last century? The cases vary a lot, therefore the cases reach out towards a general discussion.The investigation aims at exploring the Danish lawn in an international perspective, and lawns in landscape architecture or lawns as symbols signify critical points of view to societal matters.The present contribution explores the lawn as a central component in selected cases from 1915 till today. The modern breakthrough in the 1920s in Danish landscape architecture revitalized the lawn. Further artistic contributions in the 1950s launched the lawn in a delicate poetic edition. Only a few years later in the 1960s, the lawn signified the inhuman, industrialized suburb. The color TV in the 1980s made the lawn synonymous with commercial football and technology. In 2019, the lawn is an everyday thing, and parallelly it exists as the antonym to the ecological flower meadow – the “true” urban nature.

Orson Welles’ last film, F for Fake from 1973, not only doubles several figures from Clifford Irving’s biography of the forger Elmyr de Hory, the character ‘Orson Welles’ doubles the character ‘Elmyr de Hory’ as well in their common denominator as charlatans> Orson as a non-filming movie-maker, Elmyr as a non-artist painter and draughtsman. Whereas this for Orson was an intentional ambition in his film-making, it seems for Elmyr to have been an unintentional involutarism. As most artists, Elmyr strived for recognition of his own works under his own name. The problem was, however, that he did not have any real identity. With regard to quality, Hory could not really see the difference between a Modigliani portrait painted by Modigliani in 1910’s and another Modigliani portrait by Elmyr. This indifference towards the logic of artistic fame, established by different avantgardes, Hory probably had in common with all our lesser known artists, who thought that aesthetical qualities could be exchanged to artistic value. Elmyr’s paradoxical success – starting with Clifford Irving’s biography and Orson Welles’ film – illuminates a strategy for traditional or mediocre artists, to test artistic value, with a type of retrogardian chock-effect: reciprocal plagiarism. Med Orson Welles F for Fake undersøger vi, hvordan æstetisk kvalitet vil kunne indløses som kunstnerisk værdi. Hvis spørgsmålet er Elmyr de Hory, er svaret, at det koster intention og identitet.

One of the most famous finds from the earliest historical period of the cityof Ribe (southern Jutland, Denmark) is the fragment of a human skull, with adrilled hole, that has a relatively long runic inscription incised on one surface.Scholars have discussed the reading, interpretation and dating of the runesever since the piece was excavated in 1973. In the present article, the findcircumstances and other archaeological background information is presented;they permit the time of loss or deposition of the runic object to be narroweddown with great probability to the years A.D. 725–50.
