Mindeord om instruktør, scenograf m.m. Kirsten Dehlholm. Af Ulla Strømberg. Mindeord om instruktør, scenograf m.m. Kirsten Dehlholm. 79 år er ingen alder, og Kirsten Dehlholm forblev evig ung i sin tilstedeværelse med…

Director Kirsten Dehlholm has passed away, aged 79.

Kirsten Dehlholm (b. 5 April 1945) was Hotel Pro Forma's artistic director since its founding in 1985. Together with Hotel Pro Forma, she produced more than 60 works which were shown in over 30 countries ranging from exhibitions and performances to opera productions. Kirsten Dehlholm achieved great national and international recognition and received many prestigious awards and honors with Hotel Pro Forma, among others Thorvaldsen Medaillen, 2013, The honorable Reumert of the Year, 2015, The Distinguished Artist Award from International Society of Performing Arts, 2015, Performance of the Year Reumert, NeoArctic, 2017, and the Life Achievement Award at the Prague Quadrennial, 2019. In 1995 she received the lifelong grant from the Danish Arts Foundation.

Hotel Pro Forma's chairman of the board, Tom Ahlberg, states:
It is a shock and great sadness to receive the news of Kirsten Dehlholm's death. It's only been a few days since she presented the latest big plans for new shows. Kirsten Dehlholm was a unique artist who, with her strong visual sense, her desire to test new artistic approaches and ability to create connections across artistic directions, set completely new standards for contemporary art.
Personally, I have followed Kirsten Dehlholm since Billedstofteatret's performance Sirene in Øbro-Hallen in 1984. I have had the privilege of following the artistic considerations and processes up close since 2005. Dehlholm's characteristic was that all performances used very different artistic techniques, nothing was given. I will miss this strong artist, her wondrous universes and ability to accomplish the unthinkable.

The funeral will take place at a private ceremony. A memorial service will be held at the end of August.

Hotel Pro Forma's performance FLAMMENWERFER opens Aarhus Festival as planned at The Concert Hall of Aarhus with performances on 30-31 August and will be performed as planned at the Royal Danish Theatre on 26, 27 and 28 September 2024.

Instruktør og kunstnerisk leder Kirsten Dehlholm er gået bort, 79 år gammel.

Kirsten Dehlholm (f. 5. april 1945) var Hotel Pro Formas kunstneriske leder siden stiftelsen i 1985. Sammen med Hotel Pro Forma producerede hun mere end 60 værker, som blev vist i over 30 lande rækkende fra udstillinger og performances til operaopsætninger. Kirsten Dehlholm opnåede stor national og international anerkendelse og modtog med Hotel Pro Forma mange prestigefulde priser og udmærkelser, blandt andre Thorvaldsen Medaillen 2013, Årets Hæderspris, Reumert, 2015, The Distinguished Artist Award v. International Society of Performing Arts, 2015, Årets Performance Reumert, NeoArctic 2017 og Life Achievement Award på Prag Quadriennalen, 2019. I 1995 modtog hun den livsvarige ydelse fra Statens Kunstfond.

Hotel Pro Formas bestyrelsesformand, Tom Ahlberg, udtaler:
Det er et chok og en stor sorg at modtage beskeden om Kirsten Dehlholms død. Det er kun få dage siden, hun fremlagde de seneste store planer for nye forestillinger. Kirsten Dehlholm var en unik kunstner, som med sin stærke visuelle sans, sin lyst til at afprøve nye kunstneriske greb og evne til at skabe sammenhænge på tværs af kunstneriske retninger, satte helt nye standarder for samtidskunsten.

Personligt har jeg fulgt Kirsten Dehlholm siden Billedstofteatrets forestilling Sirene i Øbro-Hallen i 1984. Jeg har haft det privilegium at følge de kunstneriske overvejelser og processer på nært hold siden 2005. Kendetegnende for Dehlholm var, at alle forestillinger benyttede vidt forskellige kunstneriske greb, intet var givet. Jeg kommer til at savne denne stærke kunstner, hendes forunderlige universer og evne til at gennemføre det utænkelige.

Bisættelsen sker ved privat ceremoni. Der afholdes mindehøjtidelighed i slutningen af august.

Hotel Pro Formas forestilling FLAMMENWERFER åbner som planlagt Aarhus Festuge i Musikhuset Aarhus med opførelser d. 30.-31. august og opføres som planlagt på Gamle Scene, Det Kongelige Teater d. 26., 27. og 28. september 2024.

“…when we in FLAMMENWERFER e.g. see the vocal ensemble’s dresses light up between two screens with projections, it is a unique collaboration between Denmark’s most important lighting designer Jesper Kongshaug, professor and fashion designer Henrik Vibskov who designed the dresses, and the fantastic rising star, the video designer Magnus Pind.”
