Søren Thilo Funder Work for Live Art Denmark 2012 “Rites of Passage (Keep alive)” for Samtalekøkken 2013 “First Citizen” video for the Turku Biennial Rites of Passage (Keep alive) At Samtalekøkkenet in September 2012, Søren presented “Rites of Passage (Keep alive)”.

Crowds of crying people in the street, watching a hearse go by, audience and players of sports events standing in silence, heads […]

He also explained that one was a slow sculpture, while the other one was fast. It could be argued that it was not so much Søren himself who performed, as he acted more as a trainer and moderator for his dough sculptures. The large globs of dough were produced with different amounts of yeast and thus […]

Sofie Vollquarz Lebech Work for Live Art Danmark 2013 “(In)visibility” at Samtalekøkken (In)visibility We invited Sofie to perform at our Samtalekøkken at Kunsthal Nikolaj. Her investigation of (in)visibility began with her sitting for a long while at a table in front of a laptop, her face and body obscure, in the shadows. Behind her, phrases were projected on to a large screen. They added up to a meditation on invisibility, identity and presence. We read in total silence. The last words that lit up on the screen were: Light, costume, movement, emotion, voice. So theatre is introduced, as Sofie finally gets up. She shines a floodlight into the high ceiling […]
