Denne gang får Læsninger i ANA besøg af magasinet

visAvis – Voices on Asylum and Migration.

Læsningen er på engelsk.

Drawing by Paula Bulling

visAvis is a magazine on asylum and migration, produced in Denmark by people with and without citizenship. We wish to challenge the public debates on asylum and migration, bringing contributions by those with experiences from within these systems.

This afternoon we can look forward to readings by seven of the writers who have contributed to visAvis over the past years.

The latest issue (#13) of visAvis will be available at the event, as well as a limited number of older issues. The magazine is free, but donations to visAvis are always welcome.

Astrid Noacks Atelier er blevet inviteret af The Winter Office til at deltage i udstillingen _ Learning from A.N.A. Atelieret spiller en central rolle i en undersøgelse af de kunstnerdrevne institutioners position og tilstand. Når udstillingen åbner d. 11.01 er det med en række små gipsskulpturer lavet af Astrid Noack. Gennem udstillingsperioden kommer mere til; der vil blive indsamlet viden og analyseret materiale. Med disse tiltag er det forhåbningen også at skabe debat om, hvordan kunstnerdrevne udstillingssteder bidrager til indsigt i, hvilken værdi kreative rum og steder kan tænkes kan få i fremtidens urbanisme.

Friday, 11 January. 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. (soft opening)

Friday, 8 February. 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. (closing party)

Drinks will be served on both occasions and all are welcome at SixtyEight Art Institute, Gothersgade 167, Kbh K

THE WINTER OFFICE will be conducting urban planning and artistic research during a month-long exhibition at SixtyEight Art Institute. To this end, the Copenhagen-based artistic group has invited the artist-run space, Astrid Noack’s Atelier (A.N.A) to act as the anchor and patron subject of our exhibition. For this reason, the installation at SixtyEight titled, _ Learning from A.N.A will include several sculptural artworks by Astrid Noack (1888-1954). The installation hopes to frame how artists produce diverse forms of urbanism and space, but also that through the research and an eventual report to be made, the group will examine how artist-run spaces can help clarify the uses/value/need of creative space in future urban planning.

TWO has in addition invited other artist-run spaces in the greater Copenhagen area to share written answers based on their spatial ‘footprint’ in the city and exchange knowledge about their use and experience of their spaces. The work group will also develop a ready-made podcasting studio–that will come together during five separate sessions to record interviews and facilitated by Lise Grüner Bertelsen, curator of the exhibit for The Winter Office with Charlotte Præstegaard Schwartz curator of A.N.A and artists Kirsten Dufour and Finn Thybo Andersen who together on behalf of A.N.A will serve as hosts of the podcast sessions.

Why Future Creative Spaces?

Too many creative environments and artist-run spaces in the city lose their existence to ongoing urban development. Cities in general have limited or understudied visions for how to generate new urban plans for creative spaces (those who do, sometimes rush to implement them without or little community-oriented consultation). Moreover, rethinking the development of creativity in the city through citizen participation, gentrification studies, and mixtures between community/market oriented development is of enormous importance–especially–as we continue to witness development booms. There is a major problem in new building construction that is consistently blind to creative space needs and by continuing to ignore them, relegates creativity to normative and vulnerable models that lead to the tapping of fringes or outright gentrification of historic communities to further speculation. In addition to the lack of democratic and affordable creative space, we need focus on what social, political and economic consequences current development is having on who gets to inhabit creative spaces. It is important to preserve existing buildings rather than to tear down and replace them with characterless housing complexes. However, artistic spaces need to also challenge new development visions and should help define new constructions whose self-awareness for creative space and spatial justice is evident in their architecture. Even more so as it mixes and expands justly the definition of affordable housing in the city.

The Winter Office’s study will be published by RSS Press, which is the publishing arm of SixtyEight Art Institute. All are welcome to visit this special exhibition and to pick-up the literature about it, which has been made specially for this occasion.

Søndag den 13/1 kl 15-17

Denne søndag vil Kristian og Ida læse fra manuskripter. Hør om bygninger i opløsning og kroppe i forandring fra forfatternes mund før ordene lander på bogsider.

Kristian Byskov, 1984, arbejder som billedkunstner og forfatter, skriver mest i science-fiction-genren og har skrevet to romaner samt manuskripter til teater, film og hørespil. For tiden arbejder Kristian med eksistentielle og fantasifulde fortællinger om øko-katastrofens påvirkning af menneskers liv og væren – og hvordan vi alle sammen bevæger os væk fra det menneskelige. Hans seneste udgivelser er: Mitose, 2013, Forlaget emancipa(t/ss)ionsfrugten og Ny1, 2016, Forlaget emancipa(t/ss)ionsfrugten.

Ida Marie Hede, født 1980, forfatter. Har udgivet syv bøger, og ofte arbejdet med tekst i kunstneriske samarbejder. Seneste udgivelser: En, to, tre, 2016 og Bedårende, 2017, Forlaget Gladiator. I Bedårende skildres porøse kroppe, bakterielt liv og uhåndgribelig, materiel død.

Lyrikprogrammet i Astrid Noacks Atelier vil i sæsonen 2018/2019 fortsat udforske udvekslinger imellem litteratur, billedkunst og aktivisme. Læsninger i ANA kurateres af billedkunstner Rasmus Brink Pedersen.
