Freja Sofie Kirk, B Plots. Aeon, 2021.

Press release, November 2021

aeon
noun

1.  an indefinite and very long period of time.

We are hereby happy to announce the opening of a new exhibition space for time-based media art in Copenhagen: AEON – Center for Glass & Time.

The space will launch on November 4th 16.55 at Flæsketorvet 81.

AEON is a screen in a window of the night club Jolene. The screen will be on air all hours of the day, always for everyone forever. This means that the exhibited pieces will be looping both on a quiet afternoon outside the opening hours of Jolene, as well as on a busy saturday night with never ending queues in front of the window. The eternal loop of the films at our exhibitions will connect to future films and thereby create a long abstract narrative in an eternal exhibition that could go on for aeons.

For our first exhibition we will be showing Freja Sofie Kirk’s B plots. The video features Joanna, a singer, who performs in a bar six nights a week, inside a hotel where she lives a few floors below. Her voice guides us through her work routine and the circular route between her room and the stage, while the video continuously interrupts itself, disrupting the linearity of her story.

B Plots looks into the connection between images and physical spaces and how they mirror and affect each other. The mechanic movements of the camera are not hidden, but amplified, directing ones attention towards the camera as a medium and the materiality of the video.

Freja Sofie Kirk, B Plots. Aeon, 2021.

Freja Sofie Kirk is a visual artist with a background in film and photography. Through her ongoing work with two-dimensional representations of the world, she investigates the inner mechanisms of images and how they generate meaning in contemporary society. Her works have lately been screened at CPH:DOX, HKW Berlin and Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen among others.

Best,
AEON
