A LETTER FROM ITSO & ADAMS
The Danish/Swedish art duo Itso and Adams are portrayed as metropolitan Thoreaus, who have turned their backs on the consumer society. They travel by freight train and canoe and discover secret rooms in the middle of the city which they furnish into cozy apartments. They are not interested in media attention – Their art is their reality. That is why not much is known about the two artists other than where they have been. But a Friday night I received a letter from them shipped in through my window.

Itso and Adams’ old home from 2007 i n Copenhagen Central Station by track 12. Neatly decorated with a lot of framed pictures on the wall, a hammock sewn from mailbags and a S-train time table sign, so they could avoid going head to head with the trains. They would even be dressed in DSB uniforms to avoid being noticed on their way to and from their cavity.
ITSO & ADAMS ON YOUTUBE Video clips from Youtube with Mikael Bertelsen where he talks with the chief inspector from Copenhagen Central Station who found the apartment. (The documentary ‘Inside Outside’ by Nis Boye Rasmussen and Andreas Johnsen also shows glimpse of the two artists).
”DSB” is meticulously scratched into the wall in the apartment above track 12. Per Buur is curious to know why Itso & Adams has chosen to put a heart above the DSB logo instead of the official crown.
The canoe Adams has made from recycled items found around the city. Here he is sailing around the sewer systems below Stockholm, where the art duo also have a residence in the hidden.
An inspiration to seize urban space: Adams has exchanged padlocks to public spaces around Stockholm with new ones. The keys for these he has hidden in self bound books, standing anonymously on the shelves in the library in Stockholm.
Bertelsen shows Per Buur, chief inspector at Copgenhagen Central Station, a letter that Itso & Adams have hung up at the station. They write: ”Here was a secret… There still exists other hidden stuff, lurking around in the inner pockets of the city.”
