Pressemeddelelse, august 2019
Traces of traveling tales, emitting light through matter, leaving residue behind, flooding cracks and shallow carvings, the slime of time.
Rundetårns historie og den omfattende samling af videnskabelige genstande og billeder er det fælles udgangspunkt for de 22 unge kunstnere, der bidrager til udstillingen ”A Play, A Tale”. Sammen har de omdannet Bibliotekssalen til et rum for historiefortælling, udveksling og fordybelse.
Mødet mellem kunst, videnskab og historie danner rammen om værkerne i udstillingen og er et resultat af kunstens frihed til at fortolke og videreføre historien, der hvor den har fundet sted.
”Historier udvikler sig gennem vandring fra menneske til menneske, vokser og påvirkes af personlig fortolkning og følelserne hos dem de vandrer igennem”.
Udstillende kunstnere: Anna Stahn, Morten Knudsen, 12 Chairs, Rikard Thambert, Blair Swann, Gabriel Bott, Tora Schultz Larsen, Iselin Toubro, Mette Rasmussen, Stephanie Bech, Rasmus Styrmer, Erik Hed, Benjamin Savi, Aia Sofia Coverley Turan and Anna Ørberg.
Performances/koncerter af: D/O Ripper and 12 Singers, Cassie Augusta Jørgensen, Iselin Toubro with Rosalinde Mynster and Jakob Emil Lamdahl, Simin Ramezanali ft. Friends, Ydegirl (playing together with Cæcilie Trier on cello, Thea Thorborg on violin, Asger Valentin on guitar and Emil Elg on bass).
Udstillingen er arrangeret og kurateret af Aia Sofia Coverley Turan og Benjamin Savi, med støtte fra Rundetårn, Københavns Kommunes Billedkunstudvalg og TO ØL.
Fernisering: Fredag d. 23. august, kl. 16-20.
Udstillingsperiode: D. 24. august - 29. september, 2019.
ENGLISH:
The History of the Round Tower and its immense collection of scientific artefacts and images creates a common point of departure for the 22 young artists contributing to the exhibition. Together they have transformed the old library hall into a space of storytelling, exchanging ideas and contemplation. The exchange between art, science and history provide a frame for the works in the exhibition and is a result of artistic expression and its autonomy to interpret and continue history in the location it took place.
“Stories develop while traveling from human being to human being, they grow and are influenced by individual interpretation and the emotions of those they wander through.”
