MODERATOR

Gritt Uldall-Jessen, dramatiker
(Medlem af det kunstneriske råd, Warehouse 9).


Warehouse 9 afholder en kunstnerpræsentation for Niko Raes, der igennem de seneste tre måneder har haft et arbejdsophold på Warehouse 9, under Statens kunstråds DIVA-ordning. Præsentationen vil have fokus på de to soloperformances, som han har opført under sit ophold, ”As We Resonate” og ”Fall With Trust”.

Niko Raes vil reflektere over sin egen praksis, herunder processen og opholdet i Warehouse 9. Hvori bestod hans kunstneriske undersøgelse? Hvilke erfaringer har han gjort i forbindelse med de to seneste værker? Hvad optager ham ud fra den erfaring, og hvordan vil han gå videre i sit kunstneriske arbejde?

Det er for Warehouse 9 vigtigt at facilitere et rum, hvor kunstneren som en afslutning på arbejdsopholdet kan reflektere over sin praksis og sin brug af virkemidler, samt gøre sig overvejelser omkring processen.

En anden vigtig del af præsentationen er, at kunstneren kan få respons og feedback fra et inviteret panel, der betragter Niko Raes’ arbejde ud fra deres forskellige tilgange, scenekunstnerisk og billedkunstnerisk.

Panelgæsterne er Knut Ove Arntzen, Kirsten Justesen, Lisbeth Sonne Andersen og Kasper Daugaard Poulsen. Moderator Gritt Uldall-Jessen vil også deltage i diskussionen, der kommer til at dreje sig om forhold som fiktionskontrakt, teatralitet og scenekunst.

Hvordan konstitueres fiktionskontrakten inden for Niko Raes’ performances? Hvad er hans overvejelser omkring teatralitet og scenekunst? I hvor høj grad disponerer og udnytter han de objekter, som han gør brug af, herunder performative virkemidler som for eksempel vand?

Hvordan er hans forhold til at arbejde inden for en scenekunstnerisk kontekst, som Warehouse 9 udgør? Hvordan oplever han skiftene imellem handlingerne at fotografere og at performe?

Afslutningsvist bliver funktion og rolle omkring live art-genren også taget op til diskussion. Giver det mening for kunstneren selv at gøre brug af en sådan betegnelse?

Arrangementet foregår på engelsk.

THE PROJECT
For a period now, I’ve been studying and working on ‘forced movements’ in live-art and in photography. It’s a study of how a seemingly relaxed body can be manipulated , moved and frozen by an outer force.

How it can be moved and stretched into different forms and shapes. Seeing how this will resolve into the movement it has to make and the result of the images at the end.

How does a body move and freezes as it’s been pulled, pushed and restrained in different ways?

In this way I want to create non-natural forms and images. To do so, I want to work on a double project; a liveperformance and a serial of photographic images. Niko Raes 2009

WORKSHOPS (Part 1-3)
In these workshops I want to give people the opportunity to experience and learn about performance, endurance, perception and self-control. It will be a search on how to know your own body and how to use it as a medium, on how a body in distress can be beautiful and how these contradictions can work.In each part we will be working with different themes (as listed below).
These themes will be a guideline we use in exercises and performances in front of the camera and your co-participants, who will generate as an audience. Every workshop will be documented and at the end of the series, every participant will receive a dvd from the workshop(s) they were in.

Sunday 6th of June 13:00 – 17:00
