and also through the A-ha mailing list.
Two
dolls were created out of fabric, wadding, wire and stitch, of the
artist; “Manga Magne” and “Minor Magne” and were exhibited in Magne’s
“Scrabble exhibition at Sørlandets Kunstmuseum, Kristiansand,Norway,
along with approximately 130 other dolls made by others.
In

letter and limited edition CD of the sound part of the installation.
These dolls can be seen
