Christine Petersen

1 PLACE 33 ROOMS

Architecture is a time-based art-form unfolding in different time scales; a building reveals itself by speaking to the senses as we progress through spaces, accentuated by the changing light and tactility of materials.

STACEY SACKS

LUXURIOUS MIGRANT // PERFORMING WHITENESS

Stacey Sacks is a clown, a filmmaker, an activist, a visual artist and a researcher. Her diverse inter-disciplinary work experiments with different formats to reflect on whiteness and privilege and the performance of it.

JENNIFER TORRENCE

RETHINKING THE PERFORMER: TOWARDS A DEVISING PERFORMANCE PRACTICE

In light of the growing body of research around collaborative models between composers and performers, the exposition by Jennifer Torrence offers reflections through the perspective of the performer.

Adam Kraft

UNDER THE MIRRORING SURFACE

The term exposition has not a lengthy history, whether in a research context or in the visual arts. The scenic, technical and visual connotations of the term relate to explanation, exhibition, to instructive comments, to openly presenting something – to bringing it into the light.

Anne Marthe Dyvi

THIS IS NOT / DETTE ER IKKE

This is not / Dette er ikke by Anne Marthe Dyvi is a revisit of several of her video works, and she re-examines how they establish a visual and non-verbal language through the use of colour, movement, form and time.

Chrysa Parkinson

DOCUMENTING EXPERIENTIAL AUTHORSHIP

When we were about to invite artistic researcher for Issue 0 my thought immediately went to Chrysa Parkinson and her research project Documenting Experiential Authorship. The project is in itself moving the boundaries within the field of research in dance.

MICHAEL DUCH, LENE GRENAGER, HILD SOFIE TAFJORD, BJØRNAR HABBESTAD

Å LAGE ET LEMURIA

The Lemur ensemble (Bjørnar Habbestad, Hild Sofie Tafjord, Michael Francis Duch and Lene Grenager) works with improvised and composed contemporary music.

Sten Sandell

VERTIKALAKUSTIK MED HORISONTELL PROSODI

The music/texts/pictures of Sten Sandell are always situated in a boundary landscape or at a critical point. He describes how important it is to always be able to change direction, to chose a new path in music – create unforeseen expressions in the moment.
