Art in a Day: Jacob Kirkegaard “Riverbed”

Den 24. juni forvandler Københavns seks kunsthaller i et døgn byen til en scene for performancekunsten, når Art in a Day løber af stablen med et summende program af gratis kunstoplevelser. Det stjernespækkede program byder på internationale og danske kunstnere, som blandt andet tæller en performance af Jacob Kirkegaard.

Jacob Kirkegaard investerer sin kunstneriske research i at udforske lyd som et redskab til at undersøge andre måder at opleve verden på, som ligger hinsides det, øjet kan se. Til Art in a Day har Kirkegaard skabt Riverbed, en performance bestående af en komposition, som samler og remixer lyde optaget under vandet langs Københavns kanaler og havn.

Med inspiration fra Gaston Bachelards bog Water and Dreams fremstår Riverbed som byens flydende underbevidsthed; publikum inviteres på en bådtur ad Københavns vandveje i en live performance, hvor Jacob Kirkegaard dykker ned i sjældent hørte rum af en anden verden lige under byens overflade. Publikum vil få et anderledes indtryk af byen, når de lytter til dens lyde under vandet, idet man her oplever de kendte omgivelser gennem andre sanser.

Bådturen begynder og slutter ved Holmens Kirke med flere stop undervejs.

Det er gratis at deltage, men det er nødvendigt at forudbestille billet: https://billetto.dk/e/jacob-kirkegaard-riverbed-sejltur-med-turistbad-og-lydoptagelse-af-byen-under-vandoverfladen-billetter-647128

On 24 June, Copenhagen’s six contemporary art institutions are turning the city into a stage for performance art when Art in a Day kicks off with a programme buzzing with free art experiences. The star-studded programme features international and Danish artists, including a performance by Jaob Kirkegaard.

Jaob Kirkegaard’s artistic research is invested in exploring sound as a tool for investigating other means to experience the world beyond the human eye. For Art in a Day, Kirkegaard has developed Riverbed, a performance composed by a score that collects and remixes the underwater sounds recorded along Copenhagen’s canals and harbour.

Inspired by Gaston Bachelard’s book Water and Dreams, Riverbed becomes the city’s liquid subconsciousness, inviting the audience on a boat trip along the waterways of Copenhagen in a live performance where Jacob Kirkegaard dives into rarely heard and otherworldly spaces right beneath the bustling city. The audience will discover the cityscape differently by listening to its underwater sounds, experiencing those familiar environments through other senses.

The boat trip begins and ends at Holmens Kirke with several stops along the way.

It is free to participate, but a pre-booked ticket is necessary: https://billetto.dk/e/jacob-kirkegaard-riverbed-sejltur-med-turistbad-og-lydoptagelse-af-byen-under-vandoverfladen-billetter-647128
