V1 Gallery / Eighteen congratulates Troels Carlsen, the artist behind this year’s Teaching Award (Harald of the Year), and the awarded teacher Maria Damkjær (British Literature, Copenhagen University). The horned porcelain owl, the bird of wisdom, donated by Royal Copenhagen and painted by Carlsen, is a great reminder that teaching is just as important as research: “I really enjoy the awkward demonic charm of the lion head I painted on the owls face. Knowledge comes in many disguises. Thank you Royal Copenhagen for the trust.” – Carlsen
