I forbindelse med min optagelse pรฅ Master of Fine Arts pรฅ HDK-Valand i Gรธteborg, flytter jeg nu vรฆk. Jeg vil derfor gerne invitere jer til min afskedsreception, ๐ฌ๐ข๐ด๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ต, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ต, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ง๐ฆ๐ต, โ et samarbejde mellem jeg og Aalborg Artistโs Association (๐๐๐๐) โ i Husets Byhave lรธrdag d. 22. august, kl. 16.
๐ฌ๐ข๐ด๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ต, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ต, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ง๐ฆ๐ต, er et performativt moment, hvor jeg รธnsker at gรฅ i dybden med og problematisere รฉn af regionens stรธrre kulturelle problemstillinger โ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ฌ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ด๐ต๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ด๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ถ๐ฅ๐ท๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ โ hvor unge kunstnere rejser vรฆk for at finde bedre uddannelses- og arbejdsmuligheder. I mine fem รฅr i Aalborg har jeg vรฆret vidne til at mange kunst-kollegaer flytter ud af byen, og til at de ikke vender tilbage. Det gรฅr jo ikke โ sรฆrligt ikke, nรฅr Aalborg har et รธnske om at vรฆre global vejviser som (inter)national kunst- og kulturby. Lรฆs bl.a. artiklen i Nordjyske fra 2019, der italesรฆtter problematikken. Der vil vรฆre velkomst-mojitos med mynte fra vores byhave og lรฆkker mad serveret med servietter fra SuperPonyHest. Og sรฅ skal der ellers ogsรฅ bare vรฆre fest og ballade, hvor man nok helst ogsรฅ skal tage sine egne drikkevarer med. Pรฅ grund af koordinering beder jeg jer bekrรฆfte jeres deltagelse pรฅ facebook eventet. Alle er velkomne!

๐ฌ๐ข๐ด๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ต, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ต, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ง๐ฆ๐ต, ligger i forlรฆngelse af min kunstneriske praksis, hvor jeg arbejder med at prรฆsentere private momenter i en offentlig kontekst, da sรฅdan et rum kan vรฆre med til at skabe nye muligheder og forstรฅelser. Mine vรฆrker sรธger at opdage ny viden, prรฆsentere glemte perspektiver, fostre nysgerrighed mellem forskellige forstรฅelsesfelter, for derigennem at bidrage til alternative strukturer, der gรธr det muligt at skabe opmรฆrksomhed omkring de sociale, politiske, kulturelle og historiske aspekter af de rum, vi engagerer os og lever i. Projektet er stรธttet af KulturKANten og Aalborg Kommunes Kunstfond.

Aalborg Artistโs Association (๐๐๐๐) er en hybrid platform under udvikling, som er drevet af udรธvende billedkunstnere fra Nordjylland. Samtidig med at der arbejdes med lokal kulturpolitiske problemstillinger mod at forbedre arbejdsforholdene for udรธvende kunstnere i Nordjylland, tager ๐๐๐๐ de fรธrste skridt som kollektiv platform, kunstnerisk konsulentvirksomhed og kulturpolitisk tรฆnketank i regionen. Alle de forskellige medlemmer af ๐๐๐๐ er pรฅ en eller flere mรฅder aktive i vรฆkstlaget i Nordjylland, hvis ikke som udรธvende kunstnere, som organisatorer og kuratorer.

In connection to my acceptance at Master of Fine Arts at HDK-Valand in Gothenburg, I am leaving. Therefore, I invite you to my farewell reception, ๐ฌ๐ข๐ด๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ต, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ต, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ง๐ฆ๐ต, โ a collaboration between me and Aalborg Artistโs Association (๐๐๐๐) โ in Husets Urban Garden, Saturday August 22nd, 4 PM.
๐ฌ๐ข๐ด๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ต, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ต, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ง๐ฆ๐ต, is a performative moment, where I wish to go into depth and problematize some of the bigger cultural issues in the regionen โ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ณ๐ต๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ค ๐ฎ๐ช๐จ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ โ where young artists are moving out to find better education and work possibilities. Throughout my five years in Aalborg Iโve observed how many art-colleagues are moving out of town, and that they are not returning. This will not do โ especially not, because Aalborg wishes to be a global pointer as an (inter)national art and culture city. Read amongst others this article from Nordjyske in 2019, which expresses the issue. There will be welcome-mojitos with mint from our urban garden and food served with napkins from SuperPonyHest. And then there is also gonna be much party and fun, where itโs probably also a good idea to also bring your own beverages. Because of coordination I ask you to confirm your participation at the facebook event. All are welcome!

4.20 - 5 PM ๐ฌ๐ข๐ด๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ต, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ต, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ง๐ฆ๐ต,

6.30 - 12 PM Critical Reception
๐ฌ๐ข๐ด๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ต, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ต, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ง๐ฆ๐ต, is a continuation of my artistic practise, where I work with presenting private moments in a public context because such a space can be part of creating new narratives and understandings. My works seek to discover new knowledge, present forgotten narratives, foster curiosity between different fields of comprehension in order to contribute to alternative structures that make it possible to create awareness of the social, political, cultural and historic aspects of those spaces we engage and live in. This project is supported by KulturKANten and Aalborg Kommunes Kunstfond.
