MIN TOURNÉ med en Gallerivæg er en performativ Undersøgelse, og en metode til at undersøge processerne i det danske kunstmiljø landsdækkende. Projektet tager udgangspunkt i den hvide væg og inviterer kunstnere fra forskellige steder i landet til at agere med væggen gennem en række endags solo udstillinger. En kunstner bliver afløst af en ny kunstner i en ny by; som en kunststafet gennem landet hvor væggen manuelt bliver trukket gennem hver by.
Projektet starter i København og slutter i Aalborg med stop i Lyngby, Virum, Roskilde, Kalundborg, Samsø, Odder, Randers og Brønderslev.
Ved at invitere forskellige kunstnere fra forskellige byer af forskellig størrelse til at udstille, undersøger jeg hierarkierne blandt kunstner, beskuer, kunstværk og administrator. Dette projekt forsøger på samme tid at imødekomme og udfordre beskueren ved at ændre de vante regler for hvor og hvordan man ser på kunst. Formatet tager udgangs punkt i det vante men ændrer mødet med kunsten.
Der er lige nu meget debat om kunstens betydning, kunstens virkning og kunstens formål. Med den neoliberalistiske tankegang på den ene side og kulturen på den anden. Kunsten bliver vurderet efter dens evne til at være et produkt og til at skabe vækst, men hvad hvis den var mere tilgængelig? Hvad hvis kunsten for kunstens skyld var noget, som alle følte sig velkommen til? Hvad hvis debatten, og det at se, i sig selv var nok? Dette er nogle af de tanker og koncepter bag projektet, der forsøger at kortlægge kunsten i Danmark, og undersøge hvordan kunsten manifesterer sig.
Aalborg Artist Association Aalborg 12. September 2020
AAAA, or the Aalborg Artist’s Association, is a hybrid non-profit organization and collective artist-run initiative. The organization’s goals focus on creating better economic, social, and political circumstances for contemporary and visual artists working in Aalborg. Visual artists are statistically the lowest-paid occupational category in Denmark, and it is even worse in Northern Jutland. Therefore, improving the economic conditions within the local art scene is a key priority. Also, there is a need for more democratic involvement between artists and local institutions – AAAA seeks to create more fair, equitable, and sustainable artistic participation between government, industry, and artists. Further, the visual arts sector in Denmark also faces gender, racial, and ethnic inclusion challenges – AAAA works toward greater equality and diversity within the local arts sector. These aims seek to not only improve the working, living, and social conditions for artists, but will also improve the quality, creativity, and participation between artists and local audiences.
