focus on the working process

We celebrate first sketches, research processes, gut feelings, watering of seeds coming from unknown places. We offer artists opportunities to try out new things, follow ideas that perhaps lead them to nowhere. We want to research the creative process, together in a complete artistic freedom.

Events

  • Eden

    Our Eden exudes the scent of pike and freshly cut grass, accompanied by a pile of half-bitten apples in the corner. However, there is something peculiar, unsettling about our Eden. Adam & Eve deviate from their usual roles.

  • The Top Shelf

    Workshop participants are asked to bring 4 jars or tubes of sauce that have been sitting for ages in the fridge. Together, we will investigate the past and origin of the jars, and strive to create circumstances that convey their story. At the end, we are going to invite visitors to get to know the jars.

  • Water turns me on fire

    In the open research Water that turns me on, Íris explores with guests what it is that turns us on so that we can learn to step more into pleasure in everyday life. By being better connected with our core essence (the child, the play, the sexual being, the animal), an easier path to creativity opens up.

  • CODAPENT

    Codapent is a work in progress that Hrefna Lind is developing and is about placebo pills that cures codependency.

  • D.I.V.O.R.C.E.D.

    In the open research, they will let the participants into the first steps of their research work on a new autobiographical work that deals with the inheritance and culture of marriage and, not least, its common byproduct, divorce.

  • The Pepper People

    The Pepper People is a performance about the fear of energy transition and the secret identity of a great grandfather.
