Performance artist Sandro Masai is well into his collaboration with the residents at Ranum and Holstebro refugee centers. The workshops explore how to work with sound and movement as a form of care that centres culturally specific knowledge and practice, such as capoeira and candomble - in which rituals, stories, dance and music are understood as a form of cultural self-defence. The workshops create a process to share, exchange and experiment with overlaps and connections between culturally situated sounds, movements and rhythms that the residents bring to the workshop space.  

Sandro Masai works with durational performance, butoh and participatory artworks in his practice where he investigates themes such as decolonisation, ancestral knowledge,  and spirituality. He has exhibited and performed nationally and locally, i.a. at the Den Frie Udstillingsbygning, ARoS, Trapholt, Kunsten, and Kunsthal NORD. The artist's work is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, Aalborg Municipality's Art Foundation, and KulturKanten. Masai holds an MA in Design from Kolding Design School and a BA in Art and Technology from Aalborg University

The project is kindly supported by Ranum og Holstebro Refugee Centers, The Danish Art Foundation, Trygfonden and Den Jyske Kunstfond.

Breaking Down Whiteness is an awareness raising study group about internalised racism. It is a peer-to-peer working space for and from white people. Over the course of 8 weeks we will work with Layla F. Saad’s book “Me And White Supremacy” and follow the learning framework set out by the book. In this group we will learn about our own racist thought patterns and the ways it is often (unconsciously) practised in everyday life.

8 Sessions on Wednesdays from 20.00-21.30:
4 September, 11 September, 18 September, 25 September, 2 October, 9 October, 16 October, 23 October

Som kunstnerdrevet platform er vi meget taknemmelige over samarbejdet med kurator platformen  ARIEL Feminismer i det Æstetiske. Sammen arbejder vi på at udvikle trygge processer og infrastrukturer for kunstneriske praksisser, der udfolder sig  udenfor  institutionelle rammer.  “Hver fugl synger med sit næb”  et samarbejde mellem billedkunstnere Sóley Ragnasdóttir og Inga Gerner Nielsen og medlemmer på det socialpsykiatriske bo- og arbejdstilbud Enggården. Projektet er  den del af Lim Artist Placements (LAP)  - som undersøger hvordan man kan skabe udvekslinger mellem kunstnerisk praksis og sundheds-og socialsektoren.

During our the exhibition “Meanwhile, senses are organised” at Huset - we hosted an amodk youth workshop facilitated by performance artist Sandro Masai, community organiser Erica Figueiredo, and movement facilitator Clara Dybbroe Viltoft. The workshop was a time-space to practise tuning into the body’s perceptory abilities - exploring how the undercurrents of energies, norms, and relations in a space can be brought to the surface through the movement of collective knowledge. The amodk workshop is a soft-exploration of power and space, a guide that invites you to map a space with a multidimensional approach to sensing reaching across time, space and bodies. Explore the amodk maps on amodk.info 〰️

atmospheric map of domestic knowledges (amodk) is a collaboration between the artists Alex/Alexandra Jönsson, Cliff Hammett, graphic designer Kamilla Mez and the development consultant and movement facilitator Clara Dybbroe Viltoft, artist Sandro Masai, and housing activist and community organiser Erica Figueiredo.

'Meanwhile, senses are organised' is initiated by lím collective and co-curated with ARIEL - Feminisms in the Aesthetics.

The project is kindly supported by KulturKanten, Region Nord, Aalborg Kommune, the Danish Arts Foundation, and Ny Carlsbergfondet.

Inga Gerner Nielsen og Sóley Ragnarsdóttir er huskunstnere på Fountain House Enggården i Thy, som er en del af LAP - lím artist placement 2024. I april og i maj afholdtes to tre-dages workshops for medlemmerne på Enggårdens kreative enhed Skærlund. Her følger logbogsnoter fra første workshop i april:

Dag 3

“På tredjedagen kunne vi mærke, hvordan vores arbejde med egne mønstre begyndte at samles til et fælles projekt. Inga Gerner Nielsen startede dagen med at introducere til hvordan hun i sin kunstpraksis arbejder med at åbne sine sanser, mens hun lavede mønstre af tørrede eukalyptusblade og roser, som et af medlemmerne havde taget med til workshoppen.

Efter frokost blev vi assisteret af flere medlemmer fra Enggården, som for at hjælpe Inga med at løse puslespillet om, hvordan man samler en trækonstruktion til et stort lysbord, som hun havde taget med. Tanken er, at vi efter de to workshops vil samle alle mønstre på bordet til at vise processen omkring at skabe en fælles fortælling om Enggården.

I løbet af dagen fik vi besøg af en gruppe i regionens administration, der havde tildelt midler væk fra Enggården. Her fik de indblik i, hvad medlemmerne savner så meget, når huset ikke kan være aktivt; den dyrebare oplevelse af fællesskab, som opstår, når medlemmerne samles og engagerer sig i kreativt arbejde omkring bordet.”

Husk der er fernisering for projektet tirsdag d. 25. juni! Læs mere her: Åben refleksionsdag // Hver fugl synger med sit næb

DAG 2
“På dag to var vi fordybet i at skabe hver vores mønstre omkring bordet, da samtalerne begyndte at åbne sig op. Personlige historier og indblik i, hvorfor et sted som Enggården er så vigtigt.

Sammen med kurator Nina Wöhlk fra ARIEL - Feminisms in the Aesthetics kiggede vi Skærlunds arkiv; en fantastisk samling af tegninger, tryk, skulpturer og tekster af tidligere medlemmer og besøgende på Skærlund. Vi gik også på opdagelse i Enggårdens bibliotek af bøger om kunst og kreativitet som rehabiliteringsmodel i psykiatrien. Samlingen af bøger stammer fra overlæge Johannes Nielsen personlige bibliotek. Nielsen var sammen med Thyfonden med til at stifte Enggården og etablere stedet som et ‘Fountain House’ tilbage i 1993.”

Thank you everyone for joining us for the artist talk "Sharing and learning" with YoHa - the artist duo Matsuko Yokojoji and Graham Harwood, as well as cultural producer Anila Ladwa.

YoHas has worked to address the cultural impact of technical infrastructure in public healthcare systems for more than 30 years, making a substantial contribution to the development of artistic practices as forms of critical inquiry. With the project ‘Database Addiction, Table of Tables’ (2016), the artists and their team developed a collective process with staff and service users at Lambeth Addictions Consortium, an addiction clinic in Brixton (UK), to explore how access to patient care is hardcoded into databases that unlock or block a person’s care. Often, this knowledge is embodied within service users lives but the unequal power structure normalised within the healthcare sector deems it invisible and intangible.

‘Database Addiction, Table of Tables’ mediates the technical data as a large visual mapping on an oversized oval conference table, underlining the inherent power that lies within the data. For Meanwhile, senses are organised the table was reconstructed in 90%of its original size by Helene Wöldike and Alexandra Jonsson.

‘Meanwhile, senses are organised’ is initiated by lím collective and co-curated with ARIEL - Feminisms in the Aesthetics.

The project is kindly supported by Kulturkanten, Region Nordjylland, Aalborg Kommune, Statens Kunstfond, and Ny Carlsbergfondet.

📸 Operation 8

Pop by until 8pm tonight to explore Meanwhile, senses are organised - a collection of collaborative work of artists, activists, and organisers working intimately and structurally with and within systems of care. Thanks to curator Nina Wöhlk from ARIEL - Feminisms in the Aesthetics, a nomadic platform for curation and learning for engaging introductions to the artists and the field of socially engaged practices.

“Meanwhile, senses are organised” presents performative, digital, and graphic modalities, the artistic work examines invisible structures from two specific care-based environments in the UK and Denmark. The projects revolve around sensemaking in the context of complex data systems that govern for whom and how healthcare can be accessed, as well as in the context of collective cartographies of embodied knowledges of space. By way of addressing opaqueness in power structures, sensing as making sense and as a means to form agency, “Meanwhile, senses are organised” points to new awareness of what defines our care contexts.

‘Meanwhile, senses are organised’ is initiated by lím collective and co-curated with ARIEL - Feminisms in the Aesthetics.

Thanks for Operation 8 for engaging documentation of the day!

Vi har arrangeret en improviseret omvisning i Meanwhile, senses are organised på udstillingens sidste dag i morgen tirsdag 14/05 kl. 13:00-14:00 i Tilgang på Huset i Hasserisgade.

Det ville glæde os at se jer til en kop kaffe og omvisning, hvis nogen skulle have lyst og tid til at kigge forbi her på falderebet 💜

Udstillingen viser værk skabt i samarbejde med sundheds og socialsektoren i Danmark og England, bl.andet med bidrag fra den engelsk-japanske kunstnergruppe YoHa som har arbejdet med kunstneriske samarbejder i sundhedsfeltet i over 30 år.

Inga Gerner Nielsen og Sóley Ragnarsdóttir er huskunstnere på Fountain House Enggården i Thy, som er en del af LAP - lím artist placement 2024. I april og maj afholdtes to tre-dages workshops for medlemmerne på Enggårdens kreative enhed Skærlund. Her følger logbogsnoter fra første workshop i april:

Dag #1
"Vi begyndte første dag med at deltage i den daglige morgenmøde, hvor medlemmer af Enggården informerer hinanden om dagen. Huset drives af medarbejdere og medlemmer i fællesskab og hvor ansvaret tages af de, som har dagsformen til det. Efter en sang til at afrunde mødet, fulgtes vi til fods ned af grusvejen til den kreative enhed Skærlund. Huset har været aflukket for nyligt pga. en nedskæring i støtten fra Thisted Kommune, og hvor workshoppen skabte en midlertidig genåbning af huset.

Vi begyndte workshoppen med at Sóley fortalte om hvordan hun arbejder med at skabe mønstre af sin enorme samling af servietter og tapeter. Hun introducerede til enkle teknikker til at skabe mønstre med afsæt i Skærlunds eget arkiv af billeder skabt af tidligere medlemmer. Opgaven var, at skabe mønstre med inspiration fra hvad Enggården betyder for dem."

This Thursday at 6 PM, we warmly invite you to the opening of Meanwhile, senses are organised at Huset i Hasserisgade - a gathering of collaborative work by artists, activists and organisers working on and within systems of care.

Through performative, digital and graphic modalities the artistic work examines invisible structures of institutionalised care. From two specific care-based environments in The UK and Denmark the projects unfolds artistic approaches for sensemaking in the context of complex data systems, that govern for whom and how healthcare can be accessed, as well as in collective cartographies for mapping embodied knowledges of space. By way of addressing opaqueness of power structures as well as sensing as a form of agency "Meanwhile, senses are organised" points to new nodes in our care contexts.

"Meanwhile, senses are organised" presents collaborative work by artists YoHa - Matsuko Yokojoji and Graham Harwood, Alex/ Alexandra Jonsson, Cliff Hammett, graphic designer Kamilla Mez and community workers Clara Dybbroe Viltoft and Erica Figueiredo. The project is initiated by lím collective in collaboration with Hjerterummet Blå Kors and co-curated by ARIEL - Feminisms in the Aesthetics
