If Putin is re-elected in 2012 his presidency can continue until 2024. His reign of Russia will then amount to 24 years, longer than that of many kings and queens.

RITALIN - Mothers little helper. Acrylic and pills on canvas. 40x95 cm.
More and more children are prescribed the powerful, mind-altering drug Ritalin – an amphetamine also known as speed. It has become the preferred solution for children with symptoms of ADHD, a diagnosis often given by school officials and psychiatrists and widely accepted by parents. Side effects are irregular heartbeat, dizziness, nervousness, insomnia, irritability and headaches. There are nearly 6 million children in the USA between the ages of 6 and 18 taking Ritalin. In Denmark the use of Ritalin has gone up with more than 1000% over the last 10 years.
Peter Ravn will be taking part in Emergency Room Hanoi, Vietnam, at Hanoi University of Fine Arts, November 24 – December 8 2011 together with Danish artist Nadia Plesner and 14 Vietnamese artists
