Twilight reading with Henning Lundkvist

Henning Lundkvist read from current and recent pieces of writing, fragments returning ever so often to KHARABAT, a mysterious trisyllabic word referring simultaneously to the recently silenced musicians’ quarter of Kabul and the 'last teahouse of its kind' of KOPENHAGEN, a city strangely reminiscent of the provincial capital which your humble exiled author, at least on a good day, calls his home.

Writings by Henning Lundkvist include the novels "Planned Obsolescence - A Retrospective" and "Jolene", and his pamphlet "Drone Music/Drone War" is published by Passive/Aggressive next month. He exhibits every once in a while, does readings more regularly, and runs the occasional semi-private exhibition space Ch'ien Chien out if his living room in Nørrebro.

'SENSORY AND EMBODIED WAYS OF KNOWING'

In these event series we explorer sensory and embodied ways of knowing. We are interested in synergies between different knowledge and forms of inquiry. We aim to co-create a space where we engage materially as well as intellectually, expanding the scope of who and what can become partners in conversations and knowledge production.

What would revolution taste like? with Agnieszka Gratza and Pia Rönicke

Part of a variation on the theme of saffron – widely used in Spanish, French, Italian, Swedish, Persian and Indian cuisines – 'Revolution Soup' is an edible artwork by Agnieszka Gratza that arose in the context of Occupy Wall Street in New York. First served on 22 October 2011 at Occupied Kitchen, the soup was inspired by the answers to the question 'What would the revolution taste like?' that Gratza put to people occupying Zuccotti Park.

Its reenactment in Copenhagen is intended as an homage to the Polish-German revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) who was assassinated in Berlin one hundred years ago for her role in the German Revolution and the Spartacus Revolt of 1919.

In the course of the evening, we will read together Luxemburg's texts addressing the 'women's question' alongside those by her contemporaries and fellow social democrats Clara Zetkin and Alexandra Kollontai. All three were present at the 1910 International Socialist Women's Conference in Copenhagen, famous for resolving to adopt an International Women's Day.

Pia Rönicke (b. 1974 Roskilde, Denmark) will show her work on Rosa Luxemburg (Rosa's Letters, 2006).
