Nigel Green & Robin Wilson Dark Season Botany: A Voyage into Classification?
The project concerns the documentation and identification of Copenhagen’s winter flora. Inspired by the findings and archival notation system of the Danish botanist Pehr Forsskí¥l’s doomed expedition to Egypt and the Yemen (1761-63), the project offers the beginnings of a new set of criteria for an urban-specific system of vegetal classification. Including field imagery, field notes, artefacts and colour samples of isolated vegetal hues, the exhibition is a fragment of the full archive of expedition findings currently in storage in Southern England.

RACA

The purpose with all design must be to make changes, solve problems and to improve a specific state. Our projects do not necessarily relate to terms like form, function and material, but consider a larger entirety. RACA works with design based on its context, with the relation between the recipient and the surrounding space. We believe that in order to create design of importance we have to relate to the social systems that we live in and are dependent on.

Brandon LaBelle dirty ear records

Recontextualizing found radio recordings of street culture and noise, the work is an audio montage amplified through a custom-built “sound wagon” circulated through the city. The project seeks to make explicit the ways in which sounds and streets intersect and give expression to a multiplicity of social groups, cultural identities, personal stories and histories, which make urban spaces profoundly reverberant.

Ken Ehrlich Dispersion and Interference

The work explores the material forms of infrastructure by focusing on the world’s largest collection of off-shore wind farms, located in Denmark. Investigating the complex aesthetic, infrastructural and social dimensions of this emerging energy supply, the work draws viewers’ attention to the largely invisible network of energy infrastructure. As methods of producing energy become increasingly abstract and globalized, the project playfully re-situates issues of expenditure within a localized social and psychic context.

Octávio Camargo ao redor da mesa – around the table (theatre action for six players)
Text: Octavio Camargo and Rafael Carletto

Working with the dynamics of speech and conversation, each performer enacts two dialogues of different content. One with the partner to the right and another with the partner to the left. The interactions during the performance create polyphonic effects, sound textures, and disturbances in speech patterns. The staging of the piece is preceded by a 3-day workshop of performance and oral translations from Portuguese to Danish.
Venue: LiteraturHaus, Mí¸llegade 7 Kbh N (Sunday, April 15, 20:00)

Nis Rí¸mer Public Air Quality Indicator

The indicator opens and closes a window in the Copenhagen City hall (Rí¥dhuset) according to the levels of air pollution on the adjacent street:H.C. Andersens Boulevard. If the window is closed it indicates high levels of pollution. This relatively subtle alteration makes it possible for the public to get information on air quality; one of the most important but invisible elements in our daily environment. At the same time it installs a mode of ventilation between the political sphere and public space.
