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 […]
Terra Nova Works for Live Art Denmark 2013 “Like/not like” at Samtalekøkken Like/not like At Samtalekøkken in February 2013, Jens Bäckvall and Christian Adelhorst Rossil, members of the performance collective Terra Nova, presented their open source project “Like/not like” in a performative lecture.

Tero Nauha Work for Live Art Denmark 2012 “Life in Bytom” at Samtalekøkken Life in Bytom Tero Nauha presented a performance from an ongoing series about capitalism, which he developed during a residency in the small Polish mining town of Bytom. He worked with a simple set up of two tables, two speakers and a projection screen in the back, where a slide show of images from the town’s mining past ran. Dressed all in black he reports about his work in and about Bytom. So far, everything looks like a scholarly lecture. But while he speaks, Tero moves a small pile of pieces of coal with his mouth across […]

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)”. A man in formal evening dress slowly descends a set of chairs, and carefully unfolds a white sheet of fabric, which he holds out in front of him.

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