Intro from the book Ovartaci · In More Dimensions
For decades Ovartaci was extremely productive until his creative urge declined in the last few years of his long life. Drawings, paintings and sculptures made from all kinds of materials from fabric, cardboard and metal tins, which he cut into strips, to plaster, papier mâché and metal wire. He was extremely imaginative and did not accept any limits to his artistic endeavours. He worked tirelessly, and to him nothing was impossible.

Ovartaci is one of Denmark’s most notable Art Brut artists and he has a central role in the Museum’s collection. Ovartaci’s works were created in the period 1929-1985, when he was a patient at the psychiatric hospital in Risskov. With his 56 year long hospitalisation and his truly unique art, Ovartaci is the epitome both of the institution and the history of the freedom to be able to express oneself through art. In many ways Ovartaci broke the expectations, norms and values which surrounded him. He was fascinated by other cultures and religions – and any alternative way of living.
Museum Ovartaci opens a door to a wonderous world. The museum is founded on two inseparable collections – a historic collection containing several objects from the first psychiatric hospital in Denmark from 1852 to the present day, and an internationally recognised collection of artworks created by people with psychiatric diagnoses. In Museum Ovartaci’s permanent exhibition the collections interact dynamically and contribute to actualising topics and themes about the human mind.
Deep inside we are all far out – there is more to madness than you think.

More than fifty years had passed till these texts were discovered and showed an overwhelming power. Vague maybe, but telling more about an artist´s fate, than we knew from his fabulous painting and sculptures.

The Museum Collection At the Psychiatric History Museum one can find an extensive collection of artefacts dating from the opening of the hospital in 1852 to more recently. The exhibition includes period furniture from the First, Second and Third Class accomodations, cooking utensils, medical instruments, works created by patients and tools from the hospital workshops. Also on display is a poster exhibition about the history of psychiatry, and photos depicting life inside the Jutland Asylum. The exhibition contributes to the demystification of mental illness through a thought-provoking insight into a number of human destinies within an otherwise closed world. It tells of an extraordinary chapter in the history of Denmark, seen through the lens of psychiatry, and at the same time mirroring the surrounding community’s attitudes throughout the period.
Artist for 56 years in a Psychiatric hospital: Louis Marcussen also known as Ovartaci, died in 1985 at the age of 91, after 56 years stay at the Psychiatric Hospital in Risskov, Denmark. Ovartaci was a qualified painter and decorator. At the age of 31 he left for Argentina, where he stayed for a period of 3 years. During his stay there he became mentally ill. Shortly after his return to Denmark in 1929 he was admitted to the Psychiatric Hospital in Risskov, where he stayed till his death. Throughout his whole life as a patient, Ovartaci was extremely productive as an artist and found admirers such as Asger Jorn and Jean Dubuffet. However, even if it had been possible, Ovartaci had no ambition about leaving the safe haven of the hospital in order to pursue a career as an artist. The Museum exhibits an extensive collection of Ovartaci’s oeuvre.
Characteristic of Ovartaci’s art is his fascination of the female. Like elevated creatures they all have large almond-shaped eyes and long, graceful limbs. Ovartaci found that woman is the most sublime creature – the creator of life and a picture of perfection.
The Oresundtrain
Colour setting: Finn Nygaard AGI MDd
Winner of The Danish Design Award/Den Danske Designpris 2000.
The train connects Copenhagen and Malmo in Sweden.The train carries on the quantities that were introduced with the IC3 train. The more slender shape and the interior appear functional and coherent. The technology has been adapted to the two countries’ different power systems. Userfriendliness has been given a high priority: The floor is level with the platform, and there are wide double doors and a large vestibule, enhancing the accessibility for all usergroups and enabling a clear view down the length of the train. The train is rooted in the Scandinavian design tradition, with its holistic approach and high quality materials.
