Magne taps into the creative minds of a-ha fans

In an unexpected and unprecedented move, Magne has invited fans and friends via his MySpace site to take part in his artproject commissioned by ‘Punktfestivalen’ – a festival of contemporary art and music held annually in the town of Kristiansand, Norway.

The work will be shown at the prestigious art museum Sørlandets Kunstmuseum in September during the time of the festival.

Read more in Magne’s latest blogs on MySpace.  There is also an article about the project online here.

There is at least one Magne doll out there that we know of, made by Natascha Sabo.  Say hello to Magne Furryholmen and the rest of a-ha:
