LAYERS OF THE SELF-ORGANIZED CITY
2019-x
f.eks., Aalborg, Denmark
In a collaboration with: 1000Fryd, The Greenlandic House, and Huset
f.eks. is supported by: the Danish Arts Foundation, Aalborg Municipality Arts Foundation, i.a.
The ongoing research-based art project Layers of the Self-Organized City explores new ways of mapping Aalborg’s social spaces and community economies by engaging with the city’s self-organizing culture, where groups and associations often meet in cultural houses. This event series is the first iteration of the project. The dialogues will take place on-site in the everyday social spaces and contexts of three organizations key to Horn’s investigation – 1000Fryd, The Greenlandic House, and Huset. Here the general public can meet Horn in conversation, chat with the users, and experience the spaces more organically - over a cup of coffee, a meal, or a drink.
Horn is collaborating with cultural houses that reflect a range of different communities in the Aalborg city center. With the different users of these organizations, she is seeking to create new images and knowledge about community building processes and commoning practices between these milieus and the public spheres of the city.
Layers of the Self-Organized City include different methods of communication, texts, documentation, and on-site performative interventions that engage with different groups in both public and more intimate exchanges. The project’s broader aim is to understand and experiment with participatory and performative art practices in relation to particular spaces and places - in this instance, with self-organized communities experiencing a city in transition.
f.eks. is an artist-initiated organization, that produces temporary art events that are located in and around the urban spaces of Aalborg – activating architecture, infrastructure, ecological sites, and public spaces through a series of live art engagements.
