Festivalen Under fungerer som et hybridformat mellem udstilling og socialt rum, med performances, paneldebatter og koncerter - for et øjeblik at indfange, en kunstscene og præsentere de besøgende for nogle af de bestanddele, kunstens rum, består af.
Under er befolket af forskelligartede udstillingsplatforme. Opmærksomheden på disse platforme er ’under’belyst – men de er langt fra at være outsidere. Ambitionen med festivalen er at skabe en fællesskabsfølelse blandt aktører på scenen, at fejre hinanden og vise omverdenen, at der findes et kæmpe rodnet af kunstnere og udstillingssteder som på tværs af formater udgør en væsentlig del af kunstens økosystem. Det er her, morgendagens kunst tager form - hvor grænserne for, hvad kunst kan være, og hvordan den kan præsenteres, bliver udforsket og nytænkt igen og igen.
Under er skabt ud fra en kuratorisk strategi, der vægter medforfatterskab, samarbejde og fællesskab højt. F.eks. er udstillingsteksten delt mellem fem stemmer fra scenen; en kurator, en gallerist, en kunstner, en forfatter og en direktør fra en lokal kunsthal, ligesom at udstillingens kuratering er co-kurateret af hver enkelt udstillingsplatform.
Under er en fraktion af en større scene, som her i Simians lokaler er en samling af gestusser, genstande og sociale møder, der tilsammen forløser en fortælling om en omvæltende, varierende og evig foranderlig kunstscene.
Festivalen er co-kurateret af Fafaya Mogensen og Nikolaj Stobbe i samarbejde med Simian.

The festival Under functions as a hybrid format, combining exhibition and social space, with performances, panel discussions and concerts. It seeks, if only for a moment, to capture an art scene and to present visitors with some of the many elements that constitute the artworld.
Under is populated by a diverse range of exhibition platforms. Attention to these platforms is ‘under’exposed—yet they are far from being outsiders. The ambition of the festival is to support the sense of community among these participants, to celebrate one another, and to show the outside world that there exists a vast root system of artists and exhibition spaces across formats that form an essential part of the art ecosystem. It is here that the art of tomorrow takes shape—where the boundaries of what art may be, and how it might be presented, are explored and reimagined again and again.
Under is shaped by a curatorial strategy that places strong emphasis on co-authorship, collaboration, and community. The exhibition text, for example, is shared between five voices from the scene: a curator, an artist, a gallerist, a writer, and the director of a local art centre. In a similar way, the exhibition itself is co-curated by the participating platforms.
Under is a fragment of a larger scene. Within Simian’s space, it manifests as a gathering of gestures, objects, and social encounters—together unfolding a story of a transgressive, diverse, and ever-changing art scene.
The festival is co-curated by Fafaya Mogensen and Nikolaj Stobbe in collaboration with Simian.
