De otte billeder, som vinduet omrammer, er egentlig blot små brudstykker af vores igangværende ungdom.

Udstillingen består udelukkende af portrætter - af nære venner, bekendte og folk, vi kun har haft fornøjelsen af i sekunderne før og efter klikket.

Dermed en kort fortælling om de enkelte portrætterede personer, men lige så meget et samlet udtryk for et ungdomsperspektiv. Med den analoge point & shoot-æstetik bliver især det uspolerede og rå udtryk efterstræbt og det gode motiv en nødvendighed. Og det er disse fællestræk inden for fotografering, et nært venskab samt fælles Randers-rødder, der har ført til dette samarbejde mellem mig og Alexander.

Udstillingen centrerer omkring en æstetisk tilgang, som er resultat af den nedbarberede fotograferingsstil, der følger med point’n’shoot. For både mit og Nils’ vedkommende, er den minimale arbejdsproces og det rå udtryk, hvad der skal ses for billedseriens røde tråd. Portrætterne skal forstås som forsøg på at manifestere følelsen af ét ud af de mange øjeblikke, der udgør min eller vores tilværelse. Dette har affødt en række portrætter, der skal ses som et produkt af, at minimere distancen mellem kameraet og dets skildring i øjeblikket, og derved opnå det tættest mulige på en troværdig intimitet – både hvad angår den udefrakommende tilskuer såvel som egen hukommelse.

”Vibrations as a rule have length as well as width, they may last for fraction of a moment or the greater part of the age of this Universe.

They make different forms, figures and colors as they shoot forth, one vibration creating another; thus myriads arise out of one.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - But I really need you now’ is created for the Mødestedet exhibition space during A.W.A. The project is the result of the first time collaboration between Andréas Baader and DimsOs. In addition to the Exhibition Mødestedet will realease a limited edition publication by Baader & DimsOs.

RE-CAP So far , the project has manifested 8 collaborations, featuring more than 70 people involved. This all due to a simple equation ..

3 weeks collaboration x 3 weeks exhibition = 6 weeks of effort

WHAT´S DONE , WHAT´S COMING Methodological Approach:

We initiated the project on two levels; (1) a prologue and (2) the full-fledged scale. Both has been initiated simultaneously and will have different time spans.

Prologue:

The prologue is the full development of the experimental window exhibit in order to gain experience in modifying and working with an urban (street level)gallery.

So far we fitted a display (styled) window at the Kunstnervæksteder ,Møllegade 05. This action has

been motivated by a wish to reclaim Public Space from its singular use as a parking space.

Creating a smaller-scale prologue has kick started the collection of expertise within the field and to produce a proof-of-concept prototype to substantiate to partners, collaborators and sponsors what it is we’re getting At.

funding for constructing the project on this scale. Setting a program and hunting for a minimal honourah to the artists. I approach is outlined in the FUTURE part of this re-cap document .

Work and design dogmas:

The following principles has shape design, building, technology and functionality: Full-scale: • functional self-sustainability The full-scale version of Mod• Openness and transparency estedet. Curated collaborations • Full documentation between the latest emerging talent • Multi-functionality to established artists.We will need • Visually impressive

Partnerships:

To harness as much professional knowledge in the project as possible we have partnered with relevant organizations and individuals who are knowledgable in related fields. These partners includes companies, construction collectives – as well as students-(volunteer basis). Organisations like, JUNGLE BYG , AAKB , Michael Rollof -Curator, LODRET -communication design .

FUTURE

CROWD SOURCE

RE-THINK

CONTEXT Survival of Mødestedet - collaboration space.

Putting a price on artwork creates a great divide. The art I believe the survival of this little gallery can be boosted, becomes an object, and often in our commodity-based by involving the community around it, Thus i wanna lean culture, sometimes the meaning or value becomes hidden on an idea by a friend and fellow artist ... behind a price tag. What I aim to do is use democracy in a new way. By finding a small number of people who I want the Space to be adopted by Patrons, people that want to become patrons for the arts, I can create a body both supportt he gallery with attendance and support with of work that is owned by all the patrons. Each person who finance. contributes will receive an original work of art for their collection but will also be contributors to a larger compilation, which will be published online for everyone to view for free.

I’m looking to find 100 patrons who will contribute 100 Dkk each to raise 10,000. Dk

ACTION TRANSPARENCY

I have to date scanned and made available the google docs and excell documents. Its aim to show money I recieved and spent from Re-think 2017 pulje. The expenditure was for the the project.

Pls follow the link here Doc package ..download link

CURATION

Leaning on my past experience and a collaborative perspective on curation, i have gathered these artist for the 2014 session of Mødestedet.

In the appendix you will find a list of resume for each Artist.

Global trends and the advent of connectivity allows for both locals and internations to play with this offline space- yet still being connected.

CROWD FUNDING CAMPAIGN
