[En] Flags are traditional emblems and channel of communication. The hoist of the flag in Denmark is a rite of everyday life. The project Flagkundskab [Vexillology] builds on this tradition and uses the existing private and public space infrastructure of flagpoles to install a new symbolism and to allow alternative access to this location. Candy Lenk and Anna Borgman redesigned the Danish national flag and installed 10 flags in the city of Aabenraa. A series of photographs in the central exhibition of Åbenrå Artweek documents the project.

[De] Flaggen sind traditionelle Hoheitszeichen und Mittel der Kommunikation. Versammelt man sich unter einer Flagge, so gibt man ein Bekenntnis ab. Das Hissen der Flagge ist in Dänemark ein Ritus des Alltags. Das Projekt Flagkundskab [Flaggenkunde] knüpft an diesen Brauch an und verwendet die im privaten und öffentlichen Raum vorhandene Infrastruktur der Fahnenmasten, um dort eine fremde Symbolik zu installieren und einen alternativen Zugang zu diesem Ort zu ermöglichen. Borgman Lenk haben 10 Varianten der Dänische Nationalflagge entwickelt und in öffentlichen und privaten Räumen gehisst.
