Thomas Altheimer Work for Live Art Denmark 2011 “The Case against Nielsen” at Samtalekøkken The Case against Nielsen We invited Thomas to one of our Samtalekøkken events in early 2011. He used the opportunity to tell the story of his court case against Claus Beck-Nielsen, who allegedly stole his identity, by making him a character in the book “Suverænen”. Nielsen and Altheimer worked and travelled together on a series of rather radical peformative excursions, which Nielsen used as content for some of his books, fictionalising Thomas’ real name, address, family etc. It is a convoluted story of a love-hate relationship between two of the most mysterious protagonists of the contemporary […]

Søren Dahlgaard Work for Live Art Danmark 2011 “Dough Sculptures” at Samtalekøkken Dough Sculptures For the edition of Samtalekøkken held in May 2011, we invited Søren Dahlgaard who performed with two of his dough sculptures, working live in a performance with them for the first time, as he pointed out in an introductory speech. 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 […]
