You can see part of the sculptures here - not the feet though, I
can´t find a picture, I saw them on TV.
I think the sculptures are mediocre, the ears give away how
really amateurish it is.

In this link you can see a (not too kind) review of the dildo -
and also a photo of the feet sticking up.
I think the whole thing is pretty hopeless and should be thrown
away in the garbage!
They call it a sausage! ;D

Bjørn Nørgaards Sarkofag 'is as banal as a facebook update. And
it looks like a sausage
Bjørn Nørgaard has made the queen's sarcophagus, which is not
actually a sarcophagus. And he has chosen to overlay the glass
sauce with a fat remoulade bran of gilded 'allegories, symbols
and heraldry' and place it all on a bottom, our reviewer Harald
Voetmann can only use the word dellepude about
Bjørn Nørgaard's use of heraldry in queen Margrethe's grave is
not so subtle again: If earlier times had been the same need to
express it purely personal, half of the Danish king's graves
would have been the patch with symbols of phantom, rhino, rhine
wine and støvletkatriner.

Bjørn Nørgaard's tomb for the queen is called Sarkofag , but it
is not. The queen must be buried under it, not in it. Already at
this point, it differs from the other royal tombs in Roskilde
Domkirke: They are, as far as I know, nothing but they are what
the work is called - sarcophagus.
It's not possible to get Sarkofag yet so my rating is based
solely on photographs, videos and a few visits to the cathedral
where you can see a model of it and try to imagine how it will
look in St. Birgittes Chapel. Where it already stands, but
wrapped up in a layered structure with three boxes on top of
each other, in yellow, sartrosa and deep blue. A bursting bullet
Jullerup Færgeby-cutter between the 16th-century paintings.
There seems to be one really good idea in Sarkofag , and that's
the central part - the glass with the two white figures. The
glass will of course look beautiful under the big window of the
chapel. That part seems to be well thought out and well done.
Therefore, I would also wish that Bjørn Nørgaard had given this
supportive idea that both took advantage of the special light of
the chapel and could have added the room something really
poetic, if it was carried out in a more discreet manner, to come
true. Instead, he has chosen to exaggerate the glass sauce with
a fat remoulade bran of gilded 'allegories, symbols and
heraldry', stacking the structure on three different pillars of
silver flour heads - expressing a symbolic idea and resembling
some root - and placing it all on a bottom, I can only use the
word dellepude.
How to transform a good and simple idea into a confused and
flashy scrum, as the above name is something that it has never
been.
Glass's bullshit
According to Nørgaard, the glass symbolizes transparency. To me,
the fake title then symbolizes the opposite: the fake and the
bullshit we are all trapped in.
If you are to consider the work as a statement of our time - and
it will be considered as merely because of the location - the
most noteworthy is not the "transparency" that Nørgaard is
talking about but the wealth of symbols that should express
something about the regent's respective personalities:
Paintbrushes, wine bottles, poetry collections, theater masks
and grave dogs.
The personal must be expressed here in a way that you certainly
do not see in the other tombs where the symbolic figures often
represent abstract ideas such as piety, wisdom, power, etc.
Ideals for the role of regent or expression of the country of
birth.
If earlier times had been the same need to express it purely
personal, half of the Danish king's graves would have been the
patch with symbols of pheasant, rhino, rhine wine and boots. It
is the urge to express the individual and specific that prevents
the work from being poetic - open and ambiguous - and end up
making it as banal as a facebook update:
"What are you in heart?" "Well, now you must hear something
about my interests."
I'm going to think of the scene in Petronius' Satyricon (from
the 1st century) where the rig Trimalchio has drunk and tells
his friend, the stinger Habinnas, how he wants his grave
monument designed:
"I pray so deeply that you make a picture of my dovet at the
feet of my statue, and wreaths and ointments, and all the
petraites' gladiator struggles to make it possible for me,
thanks to you to live on after death. You also do not make ships
that set off for full sail, and I sit on the top of my
embroidery suit with five gold rings and throw coins in grams to
the people from a bag ...
There could also be a dining room if you think and the whole
people who enjoy the delights. To the right of me there must be
a statue of Fortunata, holding a dove, and she must have the
robe on the leash. And my slave son. And big amphores, sealed,
so the wine does not flow out. And one of them shall be smashed,
and upon it thou shalt make a slave that cries. "
The amount of elements that must express personality guarantees
that it all ends up as kitsch, although it is quite informative
kitsch and propagated by personality.
In an interview, Bjørn Nørgaard expresses the Queen's
satisfaction with the work. And of course it is important. As
part of Roskilde Domkirke and as the center of Sankt Birgittes
Kapel, it unfortunately ends up becoming more special than
gender.
But Sarkofag can also be seen as an unhealthy monument over an
unseen and superficial time in Denmark, where everything has to
be blown into individuality, and nothing is what it means. As
such, it is extremely successful.

It has been sunny and warm the last month (like living in
Greece, I swear, it is amazing), so Marge looks pale. Still, she
looks good. I think she is the type to stay out of the sun -
unlike most other Danes.

Now that Henrik's gone we don't see that much of Marge in the
news. Is she still in mourning, or are the news outlets not
that interested now that The King is no longer with us?

She is not in mourning anymore - officially. I don´t know how
she feels privately. She is not as active though, that is why we
don´t hear so much.
