05/11/2023, WORKSHOP
The mixed media and performative works by artist duo J&K / Janne Schäfer and Kristine Agergaard explore the creative potential underlying the modelling of realities and problematizes concepts such as truth production, historiography, nature-culture and self-identity. Their recent performative, often site-specific and participatory works are focusing on intelligence of matter and re-negotiations between performer, audience, object and stage.
Join artist duo J&K / Janne Schäfer and Kristine Agergaard this Sunday November 5 for the final public event of Vandvenner, a participatory performance ritual created in collaboration with children and water. We are taking you on a short walking tour into the magical forest around Kirsten Kjærs Museum where we are communally conducting a water ritual for and together with a lake-friend. The performance is open for everyone and concludes the first episode of the research project Vandvenner in which we are exploring and learning from and with children as experts on how to communicate and collaborate with water bodies as living entities. This ongoing research project is an integral part of J&K’s artistic contribution to Hosting Lands. The event is free. Come with good boots and weather proof outfits! Vandvenner is supported by Statens Kunst Fond.
