Carl Mannov, 
'Water Cooler
Conversations
'

Born: 
Copenhagen.

The Idea:
Exploring the
multi-
faceted
identity of
contemporary
artist, Carl
Mannov. 

Preface 1: 
“The disease 
which inflicts 
bureaucracy 
and what they 
usually die 
from is routine.” 
– 
John Stuart Mill

Preface 2: 
“'I'm bored' is 
a useless thing 
to say. You live 
in a great, big, 
vast world that 
you've seen 
none percent of.” 
– 
Louis C. K

An Excerpt: 
A lazy line 
is capturing 
the icon of 
incoming mail, 
a thumbs up, 
a mobile phone 
with a smile 
on its screen. 
A lazy start 
to the day 
starts with 
water cooler 
conversations
“Small talk 
comes from 
small bones”, 
if you can 
trust Ezra 
Pound.
