PANEL DISCUSSION (in Danish)

Performance-kunsten i Danmark – institutionelt og kulturpolitisk
Paneldebat modereret af Solveig Gade

Hvilken position indtager performance-kunsten i det danske kulturlandskab? Hvor udspiller den sig? Og på hvilke måder lader man den fra institutionelt og kulturpolitisk hold udspille sig? Hvordan ser det i et dansk perspektiv ud i forhold til at videreudvikle denne kunstart? Med udgangspunkt i spørgsmål som disse og paneldeltagernes respektive erfaringer med og arbejdsmæssige til performance-kunst vil panelet stille skarpt på denne kunstarts aktuelle vilkår i Danmark, ligesom det vil diskutere kunsten at kuratere og dokumentere en efemer kunstart som performance.

Paneldeltagere: Ditte Maria Bjerg, H.C. Gimbel, Jørgen Callesen, Christine Fentz, Ellen Nyman, Solvej Helweg Ovesen, Mikkel Bogh, Lone Pedersen.

SIGNA ARTIST TALK
SIGNA is an artistic partnership formed by Danish performance-installation artist Signa Sørensen and Austrian performer and media artist Arthur Köstler. The basis of SIGNA´s performance work is installation art. The duo mostly work site-specific, redefining and staging abandoned buildings and camp sites creating enigmatic timeless environments for the audience to explore and to live in. The barrier between the audience and the performers is non-existent. The presence of the visitors in the room is as real - or unreal - as the piece of fiction that takes place around them.

Artist Talk with Signa Sørensen Sunday August 24, 9:00-11:00.

Kunsthal Charlottenborg

ACTION and REMAINS Al Hansen & Arthur Køpcke

26.06.08 - 24.08.08

Al Hansen's works are a humorous and intelligent conglomerate of neo-dada, fluxus and pop art. The exhibition focuses on his performative practice and in addition presents his drawings, collages and assemblages. The exhibition spotlights the two bodies of work in separate sections of the gallery. As fluxus artists and practising artists in Denmark their paths crossed on several levels. Their art is based on an abandonment of bourgeois art and its institutions and an abandonment of a perception of art as sharply compartmentalised. In their efforts they shared a use of ordinary kitchen utensils and rubbish elements as material for collages and assemblages.

Opening hours:

From 21/6 - 24/8:
Tue - Sun: 12pm - 5pm
