Art in a Day: Baby Dee “Where Oceans Know Us”

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 Baby Dee.

Den uforlignelige musiker og kunstner Baby Dee præsenterer en unik koncert, som er skabt til og udføres på det helt særlige orgel i Nikolaj Kunsthal. Efter at have gendannet båndene til sin – længe fornægtede – (og ikke fabelagtige!) fortid som kirkeorganist præsenterer Dee i København en nyskreven koncert, hvor orglets majestætiske lyd blandes og kombineres med de elektroniske lyde fra Mabe Frattis cello og Hectors guitar.

Ved at skabe en unik koncert, hvor orglets ‘phantom of the opera-agtige gotiske pompøsitet' møder nye melodier inviterer Dee publikum til at gentænke orglet som et magisk instrument. Når hun forvandler orglet fra et instrument, som indbyder publikum til at hylde ‘god opførsel’, til et syntetisk, helt mekanisk instrument, hvor hver tangent, hun anslår, lyder som en eksplosion, favner hun den magi, som præger rummene i Nikolaj Kunsthal, efter de er konverteret fra kirke til kunsthal.

Kom med til Art in a Day, som præsenterer performances i hele København og i byens seks kunsthaller.

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 Baby Dee.

A sui generis musician and artist, Baby Dee will present a unique concert conceptualised and performed for the very special organ at the Nikolaj Kunsthal. After having reconnected to her – long denied – (humdrum) past – as a church organist, Dee presents a newly scripted concert in Copenhagen where the majestic sound of the organ is mixed and combined with the electronic sounds of Mabe Fratti’s cello and Hector’s guitar.

By creating a unique concert where the ‘phantom-of-the-operaesque gothic pomposity' of the organ meets new melodies, Dee invites the audience to rethink the organ as a magic instrument. By converting the organ from an instrument that invites the audience to praise ‘good behaviour’ into a synthetic and totally mechanical instrument where each key she plays sounds like an explosion, Dee embraces the magic embodied in the space at Nikolaj Kunsthal after it has been converted from a former church into an art space.

Join us for Art in a Day, where we present performances throughout Copenhagen and in the city's six art institutions.
