Home Works er titlen på den internationalt anerkendte kunstner Joakim Eskildsens mangeårige og omfattende projekt, som han startede på i 2005, og som han fortsat arbejder på i dag. Udstillingen Joakim Eskildsen: Home Works er den første store præsentation af Home Works i Danmark og internationalt.
Eskildsen arbejder i krydsfeltet mellem kunst og dokumentarisme med en unik sans for lys, farve og komposition, der ofte fremkalder en malerisk stemning i hans værker, og som har gjort hans værkpraksis kendt internationalt. Han har ofte skildret mennesker og deres levevilkår, som han har lært at kende igennem længere ophold og rejser til Cuba, USA og en lang række lande i Europa. Gennem syv år rejste Eskildsen og forfatteren Cia Rinne rundt i verden og skildrede romaernes levevilkår og kultur, der blev til det omfattende værk The Roma Journeys (2000-2006), som på intim og poetisk vis skildrer den største minoritet i Europa.
Efter Eskildsen fik børn vendte han kameralinsen mod sit eget liv med projektet Home Works, hvor han har skildret familiens forskellige hjem, hans børns opvækst samt årstiderne og tidens gang. Home Works berører og udforsker på sanselig vis almene og universelle spørgsmål om hjem, menneskets eksistens og om livets skønhed og forgængelighed. Udstillingen vil udfolde Home Workskronologisk gennem forskellige kapitler baseret på familiens forskellige hjem og vil berøre tematikker og nedslag i det omfattende værk, som fx årstider og barndom. Herigennem vil udstillingen belyse projektets mangefacetterede karakter og den særlige tidslighed, som er forbundet med menneskets udvikling samt livet og naturens cyklus.

Join us for a walk in the streets of Christianshavn where Siri Paulsen reveals hidden narratives of the complex history between Denmark and Greenland.
Based on the audio walk ‘Spor af Grønland’ co-created by Mari Noodt, Siri Paulsen takes us on a journey through Christianshavn, shedding light on hidden narratives and offering a different perspective on the historical ties between Denmark and Greenland. The walk reveals the complexities of Danish decision-making on behalf of the Greenlandic people, uncovering evidence of a long history of trade, power dynamics, and negotiations, and challenging the notion of a simple friendly relationship with Inuit.
Meeting point at Grønlandsmonumentet, Christianshavns Torv

Event organised in collaboration with re:arc institute
Baggen brings together wine enthusiasts and urban explorers alike. As you sip, you will learn about the symbiotic relationship between the city and the natural world, and how this relationship can be fostered through thoughtful design and sustainable practices.
Baggen brings together wine enthusiasts and urban explorers alike. As you sip, you will learn about the symbiotic relationship between the club and the meatpacking district, and how this relationship can be fostered through thoughtful design and sustainable practices.
How important is the architecture of a nightclub? How does a nightclub fit into public space? There are many questions about what is Baggen: Is it an addition to the vibrant cultural life of Kødbyen - the meatpacking district? Is it a space that is trashy, rugged, and underground? Or is it a fun variation - a creative space - fitting into the grand picture of Kødbyen?
Is it a space where a community of queer, weird, alternative, and bohemian proudly meet, or is it a thorn in the eye of the commercial and touristy surrounding?
Baggen is located in Kødbyen - an area of Copenhagen that is culturally protected, so as to conserve the historic look and feel of the late 19th and early 20th-century meat industry in Copenhagen.
For a nightclub that is ever-changing and evolving this poses one of the biggest challenges of designing a space with certain limitations: white tiles to a certain height of the wall, no playing of music outside of the business, ceiling only painted in white, no graffiti, doors painted in a particular shade of blue etc.
Is it the club’s curse, or maybe is it the thing that makes it a unique nightclub? Is the constant struggle of enforced visual and ideological limitation, the very thing that defines Baggen’s identity? We invite you to come and take a look, form your opinion, and see how we have done so far.
To enhance the experience, we will supply you with good music, natural wine, and a blueprint of our white tile walls and colored pencils.
You’re invited to sketch what your illegal graffiti on our white walls would look like. The most creative idea wins a bottle of wine!

Gennem samtale og oplæsning bliver tematikker fra den tværfaglige og -skandinaviske bog “her här her” udfoldet både rumligt og i selskab med andre udgivelser og fagfæller. Køb “her här her” samt andre beslægtede bogudgivelser i en lille midlertidig butik.
Bogen "her här her" udspringer af den unge, materialeafsøgende arkitektduo Spacegirls’ arbejde med “Kaffehytten”, en permanent installation af kaffegrums beliggende i Deep Forest Art Land i Kibæk. "her här her" er et tværskandinavisk projekt skabt af Spacegirls og Magdalena Rozenberg, ph.d. i litteraturvidenskab ved Uppsala Universitet, udgivet af forlaget Another Space. Bogudgivelsen indeholder tekstbidrag af en mangfoldighed af arkitekter, forskere og litterater, der sammen udfolder tematikker som materialitet, sted, økologi og sprog. Bogens ambition er at skabe en tværfaglig diskussion og udfolde arkitekturens mange berøringsflader.
Arrangementet vil forløbe som en samtale mellem arkitekter og grafikere og vil drøfte forholdet mellem arkitekturens rum og bogens rum. Efter samtalen vil der være mulighed for at købe "her här her" samt andre beslægtede bogudgivelser i en lille midlertidig butik indrettet i projektrummet stanza. Der bydes også på kaffe og drinks.
Arrangementet er støttet af Rådet for Visuel Kunst og Kvadrat.
Witness the world premiere of Gamborg/Magnussen's new film and hear the duo in conversation with renowned environmental historian Sébastien Marot, discussing the techniques, technologies and semiotics of agriculture.
Gamborg/Magnussen arbejder med plovfuren og jorden som reversibel form, overflade og betydning. "Ved at løfte den op, og transportere den et nyt sted hen, ser vi på den igen – på dens skønhed og problem.” – Gamborg/Magnussen
'Plovfure' eksisterer som flere værker i forskellige former, medier og repræsentationer bl.a. som 3D-scanning, skulptur og som performance og land art skabt på Moesgaard Museum i oktober måned sidste år. På Moesgård Museum var handlingen en sammenstilling mellem jorden der pløjes og videnskaben der studerer og formidler mennesket gennem fortidslevn og genstande som dukker op af selv samme jord. Landskabsværket 'Plovfure' ligger stadig i landskabet ved Moesgaard Museum, og kan opleves tæt på og fra museets bygning.
Gamborg/ Magnussens har beskæftiget sig med landbruget gennem længere tid. I 2019 stod bag det første officielle danske bidrag til Chicago Architecture Biennial 2019. Deres bidrag var en kålmark og et fælles udendørs køkken i bydelen West Chicago – Garfield Park Conservatory. Over et år kunne man følge med i transformationen fra græsplæne til mark, udplantning af kål, kultivering og høst og tilberedning.
Filmvisningen er værkets urpremiere, og kunstnerduoen vil efter visningen udfolde dets tematikker i samtale med den anerkendte franske miljøhistoriker Sébastien Marot.

Visit Folk Kombucha Brewery and hear the artist duo Studio Thinking Hand and researcher Phil Ayres talk about using SCOBY–Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast–as an artistic and architectural material.
On this special tour, we will focus on a small and rare lifeform, namely the SCOBY–Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast, and zoom in on its many different uses and guises. First, we will visit the local kombucha brewery Folk in the Meatpacking District and hear more about the organism, the production of the kombucha drink and taste it.
In CAFx' localities, the well-known artist duo Studio Thinking Hand (DK/AUS) will then present their original work with SCOBY in various forms and as an artistic material, ranging from leathery to goblet-like qualities. Among others, they have previously exhibited SCOBY-based artworks in Munkeruphus, Teater Sort/Hvid and Politikens Forhal. Finally, Phil Ayres, Professor at the Royal Danish Academy, will present his research in fungi, SCOBY and bio-based building materials. At present, this field of research is gaining new ground in the architecture practice and research as part of a necessary recalibration of the massively resource-consuming and CO2-emitting building industry.
The tour begins at Folk Kombucha and ends at CAFx Halmtorvet 27
The event is a collaboration between Folk Kombucha, CAFx and Art Week.
Celebrate the opening of SPACE10's new exhibition, Design in the Age of AI, and explore how design and architecture will be influenced by advancements in artificial intelligence.
Design in the Age of AI is a new exhibition of speculative design concepts from recent SPACE10 projects. With spatial design by Wang & Söderström, the exhibition features the winners of our Regenerative Futures AI design competition, alongside new works created with IKEA, Panter&Tourron, and oio. Inviting critical and grounded conversation about the use of AI tools, it examines how they can help us to imagine, design, and build a better future for all.
Join us at SPACE10 Gallery for a short introduction to the exhibition's theme and projects, followed by drinks and a chance to explore the space.
Satellite exhibition of the Danish contribution to this year’s Architecture Biennial.
Get a taste of Venice in Vesterbro when CAFx puts up a satellite exhibition of the Danish contribution to this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale. In the spatial reenactment we will host an event-series and film program around the fate of the coast in the currents of climate change.
Coastal Imaginaries takes you back to the future of landscapes and building methods, presenting nature-based design solutions in an age of human-based environmental destruction. Through a composite of speculative scenography and displays of novel research projects, the exhibition invites the audience to explore the spatial logistics of the coastal realm and its field of fluctuating forces, destabilizing and disclosing the terrestrial bias of human headspace and habitats.
Setting out to be a laboratory of hope in the midst of universal hopelessness, Coastal Imaginaries offers a catalogue of proposals for a coastal future grounded in seven nature-based principles. These principles do not merely stretch across time and vast landscapes, but address as well the pressing perspective of the contemporary urgencies of flooding and storm surges. Beyond simply being mechanisms of resilience, these strategies can serve as carbon sinks, foodscapes, material banks, and spaces for human recreation and more-than-human habitation.

Join us for a guided tour in Vesterbro with the local artist and urbanist Kenneth Balfelt. Hear about how he has worked with creating spaces with and for some of the most vulnerable groups of the neighbourhood.
Kenneth Balfelt has created a special niche for himself by facilitating design/construction processes and citizen participation as a visual artist. He collaborates with beer drinkers, drug users, street sleepers, etc. about tailoring spaces that meet their special needs: A task that can be difficult to solve for the municipality and in a gentrified district that has undergone major architectural and demographic changes during the last three decades. With his social commitment and flair for urban development, Balfelt will talk about his work involving users, how it relates to the municipality and about collaborations with different forms of life in the mixed neighbourhood he knows inside and out. Along the way, we will visit, Enghave Minipark, Mændenes Hjem (most of which is gone now, but the door and neon sign are still there), the ‘fixerum’ art project on Halmtorvet (which is gone now and replaced by a legal municipal ‘fixerum’), Maria Kirkeplads (which he works on now) and Dugnad. The tour ends at Kenneth Balfelt Team's office with a glass and an informal chat.
Meeting place: Maria Kirkeplads 1707, København V
End: Dybbølsgade 51, stuen, 1721 København V
The event is a collaboration between CAFx and Art Week.
Come and eat a home-cooked meal at Trampoline House, which began as an art project in 2009 established as a community center, moved to a church post-covid, and appeared at the Documenta exhibition last year.
In the Weekend Trampoline House, asylum seekers, rejected asylum seekers, and refugees with residence permits can get counselling, develop capacities, and find community. All under one roof! An alternative/self-institutional space and bottom-up initiative for these vulnerable groups, sometimes left behind by the Danish refugee policy and public institutions.
In 2020, the self-organized refugee justice community center, had to close after ten years of operation due to the corona crisis and lack of funding. The closure of the house left a big void for the many refugees and asylum seekers, who weekly visited the house to get legal counselling, attend Danish classes, enroll in internships and job training programs, make friendships, and form networks.
In the house, children and adults who have fled war, poverty, or human rights abuses found a unique democratic community where they felt welcome and equal. A community in stark contrast to the insecurity and marginalization that many displaced people experience in the Danish asylum and integration system.
To fill this void, a group of former users, volunteers, and staff members established a new house on a more sustainable scale. The result is the Weekend Trampoline House, which in collaboration with the Apostle Church in Vesterbro, opened its doors to the public in 2022.
The event will start with e a series of talks: Co-founder, artist Morten Goll, will talk about the house and its history, its changing location and interior design. Fayeza Ghah Pourof, one of the users of the house, will talk about its social function and space, experience of living in a camp. Lastly, the program coordinator Nynne Roberta Pedersen will reflect upon the inhumane architecture of the camp.
After the talks we will eat home cooked dahl together and continue the conversation.
Don't miss the chance to attend the screening of Stephen Dwoskin's acclaimed masterpiece 'Behindert', accompanied by an introductory lecture and Q&A led by architect and theorist David Gissen.
With its fragmentary imagery, amateurish charm and balanced use of close-ups, Stephen Dwoskin has provided 'Behindert' with a film language that is both curious and close to the body, quivering between warm ecstasy and cold sobriety, documentary home video and staged fiction. 'Behindert' is not only a unique representation of a love relationship seen from a disability perspective but also a work that destabilizes the dominant film historical representation of human intimacy; a film imbued with a deep fascination with the face's subtle grimacing and the body's subtle reaction patterns.
The film is introduced by the renowned American architecture theorist David Gissen; it is the third chapter in the film series 'Disabled Lives, Disabling Forms', which examines the intersection between disability, film and architecture.

'Disabled Lives, Disabling Forms' Film Program
A two-day program of experimental documentary films – all created by filmmakers, representing their experiences of impairment. In addition to documenting disability at home and within urban spaces, these works also disable the aesthetic character of film by challenging the conventional relationships between imagery, sound, and point of view in an effort to capture the sentiment of impairment.

Samtale mellem kunstner Joakim Eskildsen og Rune Gade, forsker ved Københavns Universitet om Eskildsens fortløbende projekt 'Homeworks', der åbner efter samtalen.
"Home Works" er titlen på den internationalt anerkendte kunstner Joakim Eskildsens mangeårige og omfattende projekt, som han startede på i 2005, og som han fortsat arbejder på i dag. Udstillingen "Joakim Eskildsen: Home Works" er den første store præsentation af "Home Works" i Danmark og internationalt.
Eskildsen arbejder i krydsfeltet mellem kunst og dokumentarisme med en unik sans for lys, farve og komposition, der ofte fremkalder en malerisk stemning i hans værker, og som har gjort hans værkpraksis kendt internationalt. Han har ofte skildret mennesker og deres levevilkår, som han har lært at kende igennem længere ophold og rejser til Cuba, USA og en lang række lande i Europa. Gennem syv år rejste Eskildsen og forfatteren Cia Rinne rundt i verden og skildrede romaernes levevilkår og kultur, der blev til det omfattende værk The Roma Journeys (2000-2006), som på intim og poetisk vis skildrer den største minoritet i Europa.
Efter Eskildsen fik børn vendte han kameralinsen mod sit eget liv med projektet "Home Works", hvor han har skildret familiens forskellige hjem, hans børns opvækst samt årstiderne og tidens gang. "Home Works" berører og udforsker på sanselig vis almene og universelle spørgsmål om hjem, menneskets eksistens og om livets skønhed og forgængelighed. Udstillingen vil udfolde "Home Works" kronologisk gennem forskellige kapitler baseret på familiens forskellige hjem og vil berøre tematikker og nedslag i det omfattende værk, som fx årstider og barndom. Herigennem vil udstillingen belyse projektets mangefacetterede karakter og den særlige tidslighed, som er forbundet med menneskets udvikling samt livet og naturens cyklus.

The Pollination Academy, led by Patricia Csobánczi and Oleg Koefoed, guides you on a journey through the city witnessed from a plant perspective, utilising design tools to offer a non-human perspective on the urban environment.
What does the city look like from the perspective of plants? How are places connected and how could we transform them to be more regenerative - for plants, but perhaps also for humans? The Pollination Academy and the Center for Regenerative Transformation invite you to discover the city's micro-ecologies. You will get a map to plunge for an hour into discoveries on your own (or in a small group). After the tour, we will meet for a joint discussion of what we have found and how perspective micro-ecological shifts can be used in a regenerative placemaking.
Vil vi i fremtiden bygge vores huse af svampe, brændenælder og genbrugsplast? Vil vi dyrke mursten som afgrøder? Og hvad kommer nye bæredygtige materialer til at betyde for vores forståelse af arkitektur? Arkitektforeningen og Empathic Environments inviterer til talk og fredagsbar.
Vil vi i fremtiden bygge vores huse af svampe, brændenælder og genbrugsplast? Vil vi dyrke mursten som afgrøder? Og hvad kommer nye bæredygtige materialer til at betyde for vores forståelse af arkitektur?
Byggeri er i dag en af de mest forurenende aktiviteter på jorden og står for næsten 40% af det samlede, årlige CO2 aftryk. En stor del heraf stammer fra produktionen af materialer og materialeaffald. Det er derfor påtrængende for fremtidens arkitektur – og for samfundet generelt – at udvikle radikalt nye måder at bygge og forbruge materialer på.
I det forgangne år har 10 hold, bestående af kunstnere og arkitekter, samarbejdet om at finde eller genfinde løsninger på materialespørgsmålet, som kan inspirere til en ny og mere bæredygtig udfoldelse. De har haft hænderne dybt nede i hver deres materiale, for at eksperimentere og finde ind til dets potentialer. Deres arbejde kulminerer i en udstilling, Reset Materials–Towards Sustainable Architecture, på Copenhagen Contemporary med åbning den 30. juni.
Vær med når Arkitektforeningen allerede den 2. juni, sammen med Empathic Environments, går bagom samarbejderne med en talk og efterfølgende fredagsbar. Kom og mød nogle af de deltagende kunstnere og arkitekter og bliv klogere på, hvilke styrker der ligger i de tværfaglige samarbejder, når der skal findes nye og mere bæredygtige svar på klimaudfordringen.
#MATERIALER udspringer og er støttet af Dreyers Fond.
Bioblitz og nattens lyslokning er en nænsom registrering af biologisk aktivitet i og på et udvalgt areal. Det involverer både eksperter og interesserede uden faglig baggrund, som noterer alle levende organismer (fx natsværmere) omkring Træstubben i Saxoparken.
Bioblitz og lyslokning ved Træstubben tager udgangspunkt i haven omkring Træstubben, som er hjemmested for mange insekter, vilde planter, nytteplanter og fugle.
Det bliver et offentligt arrangement, hvor vi på dagen inviterer vi alle Træstubbens brugergrupper og interesserede i nærområdet til at registrere alle arter vi får øje på.
Natten til bioblitz gennemfører vi en lyslokning, hvor vi registrerer nataktive insekter i området.
I Træstubben vil der til anledningen være bøger og værksteder, hvor børn, voksne og familier kan tegne deres fund til en udstilling sidst på dagen.

Experience the Danish premiere of Reid Davenport's critically acclaimed 'I Didn't See You There' with an introductory lecture and Q&A session led by distinguished architect and architectural theorist David Gissen.
With its lingering camerawork and spontaneous dialogues, Reid Davenport's 'I Didn't See You There' offers a raw and straightforward portrayal of everyday life seen from the perspective of a wheelchair user: the mental frustrations, physical obstacles and social interactions. But Davenport's mission is not simply to map the built environment, which is so little thought of with his body in mind. It is also an aesthetic study of the wheelchair's ability to challenge the formal cinematic codes that are linked to the "normal body"; an attempt to rethink the art of film from a different corporeality.
The film is introduced by the renowned American architecture theorist David Gissen; it is the second chapter in the film series 'Disabled Lives, Disabling Forms', which examines the intersection between disability, film and architecture.

'Disabled Lives, Disabling Forms' Film Program
A two-day program of experimental documentary films – all created by filmmakers, representing their experiences of impairment. In addition to documenting disability at home and within urban spaces, these works also disable the aesthetic character of film by challenging the conventional relationships between imagery, sound, and point of view in an effort to capture the sentiment of impairment.

The initial chapter in a series of lecture+film events on the intersection between disability, architecture, and cinema culture. Watch Derek Jarman’s final opus, 'Blue', and hear an introductory lecture by architect and architectural theorist David Gissen.
'Blue' is an extremely dynamic film with an extremely static visuality - a single uninterrupted deep blue image for the 76 minutes the film lasts. But in contrast to the film's monochrome minimalism, which appears eternal, calm and grandiose like the sky or the sea, a complex web of music, poetry, and burning diary entries unfolds in the film's soundscape, depicting the English film director's life with the disease that slowly took away his sight and his circle of friends from him: AIDS.
A New York Times reviewer described Blue as both "heartbreaking, infuriating, boring, pretentious, and captivating" upon its release. It is not only Jarman's last but also his most uncompromising film work.
The film is introduced by the renowned American architecture theorist David Gissen; it is the first chapter in the film series 'Disabled Lives, Disabling Forms', which examines the intersection between disability, film and architecture.

Kom med på en filmisk tidsrejse til det gamle Vesterbro og Kødbyen, hvor cirkus og hestehandlere og høtyve huserede. Oplev Kødbyen i 1930´erne, hvor dyr og mennesker levede tæt, og i 1970'erne, hvor lokale skabte en marxistisk skole på en forladt byggegrund.
Nogle gange kan historien næsten være mere forunderlig end high-tech fremtidsscenarier som modbillede til nutidens hverdagsliv. Det kan man få bekræftet denne aften, hvor lokalhistorikeren Thomas Warburg tager dig med på en sælsom tidsrejse til det historiske Kødbyen og omegn, der var engang. Ud over filmklip med cirkus, hestehandel og høstakning på Halmtorvet vises to kortfilm, der hver især dokumenterer vigtige kapitler i områdets historie.
H. Andersens 'Kødbyen' fra 1936 skildrer, hvordan der hver dag ankommer skibe, tog og biler med en stor mængde både levende og slagtede dyr til Kødbyen: ca. 120.000 okser, 190.000 kalve, 57.000 får, 350.000 svin og 11.000 heste årligt - i alt ca. 60 mio. kg. kød. Der er dyrlægekontrol for mund- og klovsyge straks ved ankomsten. Herefter slagtes dyrene, flås, skæres op og hænges til afkøling. Vi ser kreaturer, kalve, får og grise blive gennet ind i slagtehallen og hele processen dér. Også rensning af maver, tarme og hoveder. De fleste kreaturer kommer dog til Kødbyen på en kødkrog, og man ser salgshallen, hvor der handles med håndslag. Under jorden ligger hele det tekniske set-up for varme, kulde og elforsyning i km-lange tunneler.
Mis ikke Nils Vests film om en marxistisk byggelegeplads på Vesterbro, skabt af lokale beboere i 1970erne. I en nedslidt del af Vesterbro etablerede lokale på eget initiativ en anderledes institution for kvarterets børn: byggelegepladsen 'Hudegrunden', opkaldt efter en nedlagt oplagsplads for huder fra slagtede dyr i Kødbyen. Det vakte stor opsigt, da man til den nye institution søgte efter en pædagog med en marxistisk livsindstilling. Filmen fortæller om oprettelsen og det daglige arbejde i begyndelsen af 1970'erne. Hudegrunden på Vesterbro blev også et værested i en dengang slummet del af København.

A discussion of restrictive built environments and how social structures prevent people with disabilities from a thriving cultural life and pursuing a career within the art field.
A discussion between activist and contemporary art host Cath Borch Jensen and visual artist Anthony Dexter Giannelli, moderated by Olivia Dahl Ph.d. Candidate, Department of Sociology, UCPH.
The conversation calls into question the many factors that are limiting the environments people with disabilities must operate in within the art field. Beyond physically inaccessible built infrastructure, social and structural limitations are often left out of conversations on accessibility.
This talk expands on the work explored in the project Mapping Disability Access to Danish Art Spaces by UKK Art Workers with Disabilities supported by Bikuben Foundation and BKF’s Udvalg til Fordeling af Kulturelle Midler.
The opening party for CAFx’ hub ‘Symbiotic Commons’ in the Meatpacking District will celebrate processes through food, drinks and discussions.
Come and join the celebration of the first evening of the Copenhagen Architecture Festival at ÅBEN Brewery with tours, talks, and discussions about the future of the Meatpacking District.
The talks will take place around a model of Kødbyen made entirely from unwanted materials sourced within the neighbourhood as a result of an architectural mapping. The model functions as a manifestation of how we interact through material connections and the use of resources in the Meatpacking District.
ÅBEN Brewery will be selling a wide selection of beers from their own production, and you will also have the possibility to try EVOO's creations made with surplus food from the neighbourhood.
Meet:
17.00: Welcome and introduction
17.10: Bodil Eiterstraum and Matilda Rex present their project 'Symbiotic Commons'
17.30: Simon Klindt and Eirik Bruun present their thesis project
Small (beer) break (approx. 10 min)
18.00: Emil Pedersen fra Vesterbro Musikforening talks about visions for multi-aesthetic spaces

The Copenhagen Landscape Lectures is a public lecture series for everyone who is interested in how we shape our physical environment, across cities and landscapes, education and practice.
Are cities and metropolises the manifest destiny of humankind? The present environmental predicament might well lead us to question this idea, and to encourage something like an urban exodus.
Meet Sébastien Marot, Professor in environmental history, ENSAVT Université Paris-Est, and guest professor EPF Lausanne. Author of several books including Taking the Country’s Side: Agriculture and Architecture, Poligrafa, Barcelone 2019
This event is a collaboration with Copenhagen Landscape Lecture (CLL) and Institut français Danemark.
In connection with the ‘Spaces of Dignity’ exhibition, Ukraine House invites architects, scholars, and activists to join the discussion on the healing and nurturing qualities of architecture.
Can architecture heal the wounds of war? How can temporary housing for refugees shelter not only the bodies but also the souls, memories and precious mementoes? How clearing up the rubble can create and recreate the social fabric of a war-torn society?
In connection with the Spaces of Dignity exhibition Ukraine House invites Ukrainian and Danish architects, scholars and activists to join the discussion on the healing and nurturing qualities of architecture. We will also provide some insights into the Danish plans for the restoration and development of the critical infrastructure in the city of Mykolaiv and the European Commission capacity-building program for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
Enjoy the rare, 'rewilded' urban space Beddingen on Refshaleøen, when Copenhagen Photo Festival presents 6 solo exhibitions exploring and challenging the theme of 'rewilding'.
Six international solo artists explore the theme rewilding in the widest sense of the concept and the complexities it entails. From the rewilding of nature to climate issues and diversity to the rewilding of other spheres e.g. bodies, society, social structures or art in itself.
This year’s headliners each propose their individual take on the implications of rewilding with the use of AI technology, ‘rewilded’ street photography, portrait photography with a green twist, critical climate narratives and images where stories documenting identity and belonging sprout in new healing ways.
The concept rewilding refers to a process of letting nature regulate itself without human interference. Instead of ‘caring’ for nature in a way that serves human purposes or profits, rewilding seeks to restore, repair, cure or even heal nature in a sustainable way that serves nature in itself and aids our gasping climate and biodiversity. The concept has flourished in recent years and proposes solutions but also contests existing (man-made) structures and power relations.
The exhibiting artists are Magnum photographer, Nanna Heitmann, Craig Ames, Kristina Knipe, Daniel Hinks, Hilla Kurki and Erik Berglin.
Join us for the opening of the exhibition 'Spaces of Dignity'. Experience how architects, activists, and businesses in Ukraine strive to create a safe and dignified environment for displaced bodies and traumatised souls.
Can architecture heal the wounds of war — Physically as well as mentally? And how can temporary housing for refugees shelter not only the bodies, but also the souls, memories and precious mementos? How can clearing up the rubble create and recreate the social structures of a war-torn society? With this pensive exhibition Ukraine House displays a thoughtful glimpse into Ukrainian response to the brutal effects of a terrifying Russian aggression.

Satirisk miniserie vist på Berlinalen i 2023 om arkitekten Julie, der må bo i en parkeringskælder i et Fagre Nye Verden-agtigt Oslo i en nær fremtid. CAFx serverer drinks og skåler på 10 års jubilæet!
(DA) I 2023 skydes festivalen og årets tema ‘Livsform’ i gang med Danmarkspremieren på den unge danske instruktør Kerren Lumer-Klabbers nye sci-fi miniserie 'Arkitekten', der havde verdenspremiere på Berlinalen i februar 2023.
‘Arkitekten’ handler om den 30-årige arkitekt Julie (spilles af Eili Harboe fra Joachim Triers film 'Thelma'), der må tage til takke med at brygge kaffe på tegnestuen, hvor hun er fuldtidspraktikant, mens hendes ekskæreste bæres frem som starchitecturens kronprins. Midt i en astronomisk boligboble må hun finde sig tilrette i et aflukke i en parkeringskælder, som hun pludselig får til opgave at transformere til 1000 boliger, da biler er blevet overflødige. En behovsbaseret, bæredygtig løsning, der ovenikøbet sparer ressourcer. Konteksten er et Fagre Nye Verden-agtigt Oslo i en nær fremtid, hvor boligkrisen kradser, biler er bandlyst og bankrådgivere er erstattet af chat gbt stemmer.
Visningen af sci-fi satiredramaet danner ramme om et live talkshow og Q&A om boligkrise, tiny housing-tendenser, privatisering af det offentlige rum, mansplainining og arbejdsforhold i arkitektverdenen. Aftenens gæster er instruktøren Kerren Lumer-Klabbers, sociolog og ph.d. i compact living Anne Hedegaard Winther, urbanismeforsker Kristine Samson og Asal Mohtashami, arkitekt og byudvikler ved tegnestuen AIM og aktiv i netværket Building Diversity.
Herefter serverer vi drinks på den røde løber uden for biografen.
Særligt tak til Lautrup Vine, Østerberg, Bülow Lakrids, Viaplay og Mikropolis.

(EN) Julie lives in a car-free Oslo in the near future. The housing market is completely off the rails and Julie can't get a mortgage. When her rent increases, she must find another place to stay. The solution is a housing community in a parking garage. Julie dreams of an architectural career so she can buy an apartment. One day an opportunity for success presents itself at work. At the same time, an unexpected friendship sprouts between Julie and her new neighbor Kaja. A friendship which threatens both her career and Julie's conviction that close relationships count less than materialistic goods.
The inner city of the future is an expensive, alienating and empty place - except for the living mannequins and shop assistants who, even in ostensibly public spaces, bully those who linger into buying things. Julie is an architect. She is lucky because she is working for a renowned architectural practice, even if only as a coffee-making intern. When a large project to build a thousand flats in the centre of Oslo is put out to tender, she has an idea: why not convert the underground car parks that are empty in the car-free city centre into residential buildings? A needs-based, sustainable solution that would conserve resources. Average rents have long since become unaffordable for most working people, anyway. Naturally, there are no windows in these flats, but that is actually an advantage given the high price of glass. Besides, in Berlin, one hears, more people already live underground than above.
This debut series from screenwriting duo Nora Landsrød and Kristian Kilde and director Kerren Lumer-Klabbers is a clear-sighted and pitch-black satire about an all-too-near future, somewhere between 'Brave New World' and 'The World of Interiors'.
After the screening we will serve drinks on the red carpet outside the cinema.
Special thanks to Laudrup Vine, Østerberg, Bülow Lakrids, Viaplay and Mikropolis.

Experience the installation A Film about a City when the artist duo John Wood & Paul Harrison take over the entire von Bartha exhibition space with their playful approach to urban planning and the architectural model.
(DA) Med "We Built this City", som er John Wood & Paul Harrisons første soloudstilling hos von Bartha i København, præsenterer kunstnerduoen deres installation 'A Film about a City'.
”Vi er ikke rigtig til helhedsplaner”, erklærer de i forbindelse med værket, der mimer den modelbaserede planlægning af en by. Modsat andre helhedsplaner er Wood og Harrisons plan bevidst ikke tænkt til at udvikle sig videre end den udstillede arkitektoniske model, der ifølge kunstnerduoen er foreningen af en række dårligt udtænkte planer. Installationen, der hos von Bartha fylder hele udstillingsrummet, inviterer sin beskuer til at opdage alle disse fejlagtige eller ligefrem umulige forslag og omstændigheder, som ved nærmere granskning åbenbarer sig i miniatureudgaven af den fiktive by.
(EN) For their first solo exhibition at von Bartha Copenhagen, John Wood and Paul Harrison will present their installation 'A Film about a City'.
“We're not really into master plans" the artist duo declare when speaking about the work that mimics the model-based planning of a city. Unlike other master plans, Wood and Harrison's proposal was intentionally not conceived to develop beyond the presented architectural model, which, according to the artist duo, is a collection of a series of badly laid plans. The installation, which at von Bartha, takes up the entire exhibition space, invites the viewer to discover all these flawed or even impossible inventions and circumstances, which on closer inspection reveal themselves in the miniature version of the fictional city.
Experience works by architecture photographer Jens Markus Lindhe at Prospekt Exhibition Space for Architecture and Photography.
(EN) Disappearing over time is the title of the exhibtion with work by the architecture photographer Jens Markus Lindhe in cooperation with Prospekt Exhibtion Space for Architecture and Photography. The protection of old buildings or the lack of the same is one of the topics taken up by the artist. A well-known building in the Copenhagen Zoo, the elephant house build 1914 disappeared 2017 and now only exists in Jens Markus Lindhes pictures. A villa from the same period has just been saved and renovated and photographs of this are juxtaposed with the first series.
Another part of the exhibition is made up by Jens Markus Lindhe's first photographic work. Educated an architect Lindhe got his first commisions as a photographer for the magazine Skala. With 30 editions from 1985 to 1994 this magazine on nordic architecture and art gives a unique view on the trends and visions from this period. Jens Markus Lindhes b/w pictures from Copenhagen shows a very different city!
As an architecture photographer Jens Markus Lindhe has contributed to a large number of books as well as been the preferred photographer for the biggest danish architecture offices. 'Disapperaing Over Time' shows other aspects of the artists work.
Join the exhibition opening at Prospekt on 25 May from 15.00-19.00 with a talk by the architect Kjeld Vindum on the creation of the magazine 'Skala'.
The exhibition is running until 18 June.
(DA) Den danske fotograf og arkitekt Jens Markus Lindhe udstiller aktuelle værker og arbejder fra sit arkiv om erindringen om den forsvundne by og bevaringen af byen og bygninger.

Simian præsenterer den første posthume soloudstilling af den tyske kunstner Irma Hünerfauth (1907- 1998) med kinetiske multimedieobjekter, der kombinerer tale, lyd og bevægelse.
Irma Hünerfauth
in dialogue with
Planned City Cinema
a moving image program
Kurateret af KM Temporaer (Elisa R. Linn, Lennart Wolff)
Simian præsenterer den første posthume soloudstilling af den tyske kunstner Irma Hünerfauth (1907- 1998). Hünerfauth, som i 1950'erne og 60'erne arbejdede indenfor konteksten af abstrakt ekspressionisme og action painting, skiftede radikalt i 1968 til at lave kinetiske multimedieobjekter, der kombinerede tale, lyd og bevægelse. Disse "Vibrationsobjekte" (Vibrationsobjekter) er lavet af forbrugersamfundets efterladenskaber – metalskrot, elektriske dele og plastikaffald – og placeret i gennemsigtige terrariumlignende montrer. Som arkitektoniske eller scenografiske modeller, spiller de på "modernitetens fetish": den universelle beholder, der huser og omslutter kroppen. Disse kunstværker, også kaldet "Sprechende Kästen" (Talende Kasser), bruger ready-mades, tale og beskrivende titler, til at behandle emner, der stadig er yderst aktuelle i dag. For eksempel sætter de spørgsmålstegn ved de urealistiske løfter om et "økonomisk mirakel" baseret på udvinding, udtømning, forurening og fremmedgørelse i den moderne by, samt militarismens og krigens ødelæggelse af naturen og miljøet. Udstillet internationalt som "IRMANipulations", stod de i kontrast til figurative skulpturer såsom "STATT LUFT - STADTLUFT" (I STEDET FOR LUFT - BYLUFT) - et over to meter højt objekt, brugt i aktioner og happenings i det offentlige rum, med henblik på at øge bevidstheden om det presserende spørgsmål om forurening i bymiljøerne.
Planned City Cinema, et video- og filmprogram i dialog med Hünerfauths udstilling, der sporer "mekanikken" i udviklingen af den modernistiske by. Filmene, der vises i en midlertidig biograf i den underjordiske cykelgarage i centrum af den "nye by" Ørestad, dokumenterer, dissekerer og undersøger produktionen af det byggede miljø og de ideologier, økonomiske og magtmæssige relationer, som den materialiserer.

In the final edition of CAFx’ Manifesto Reading Club, we will compare Patrik Schumacher’s global(ised) starchitecture and Anna Heringer’s collaborative and regenerative approach to architecture
By valuing context, local scale, craft skills and community participation, Heringer is developing a design process aiming to improve living conditions for an increasing population worldwide. Frequently working in Asia and Africa, she states that only by including nature and respecting the individual needs of people and places can we create a deeper understanding of the interactions between humans, the built environment and nature — and accept our own role as the driving force of climate changes.
In contrast, the Parametricist Manifesto (2008) by Patrik Schumacher, Zaha Hadid’s successor, has been heavily debated for its grand gestures, emphasis on style/form, anti-statism and weak connectivity to social and environmental context. While Zaha Hadid began as an avant-garde architect-cum-painter, her office currently delivers fixtures of commercial starchitecture from Dubai to Shanghai. Controversially proposing to eliminate social housing and privatizing streets, Schumacher has even been called a fascist!
Unfortunately, architect Jonathan Houser will not be able to facilitate the session as planned, but we will have Morten Birk Jørgensen, architect, associate professor at Det Kongelige Akademi, member of network Jävla Kritiker!
During the session, we will serve drinks, and you can visit the Architecture and the Art of Agitation exhibition.
You can read The Laufen Manifest here and Parametricism as Style here, and prepare questions for the Q&A.

10 May CAFx Manifesto Reading Club Vol. III: Revisiting the Situationists with David Pinder
Join the third edition of CAFx Manifesto Reading Club — a détournement into the situationist city and urban utopia
In the 1950s, the modernists dreamt of reshaping the urban landscape, creating the ideal city from scratch and envisioning new spaces and new ways of living. Their utopian approach was underpinned by political interests, desires and anxieties that affected architecture and urban planning, as well as human life and free mobility.
During the Architecture and the Art of Agitation exhibition, we will take a closer look at the situationist 'counter-urbanism' of Constant's manifesto Another City for Another Life and of Ivan Chtcheglov's Formulary for a New Urbanism, challenging the megalomaniac modernism of the period.
Tonight's manifesto reading group will be guided by David Pinder, professor in Urban Geography at RUC and author of the book Visions of the City: Utopianism, Power and Politics in Twentieth-Century Urbanism (2005). Pinder will share his deep insight into the situationist and surrealist movements, introducing the ideals behind the utopian urban planning of modernism and discussing its encounter with the ideas of the situationists.
Afterwards, the floor will be open for a joint discussion on the potential of utopianism and the manifesto today.
You can download tonight's two manifestos, read them in advance and prepare for the Q&A session here:
Ivan Chtcheglov, Formulary for a new urbanism, originally written in 1953. First published under the pseudonym Gilles Ivain in Internationale Situationniste #1 (1958); translated by Ken Knabb.

Gennem et eksperimenterende og unikt billedsprog introducerer Hissabu på kunstnerisk vis de forskellige trin, der opstår i opbygningen af et hus. Publikum møder to karakterer på et uigenkendeligt og udefineret område, der forsøger at opbygge eget hjem fra bunden af. I denne proces opstår der en imaginær åbning. Denne åbning bliver et rum for dialog om forskellige måder at leve på, herunder måder at spise på, størrelser på værelserne samt placeringerne af døre og vinduer. Hissabu eksperimenterer med og udfordrer publikums forståelse af hjemmet som både begreb og erfaring og stiller spørgsmål til, hvad et hjem lader sig definere af - og af hvem. Agumm er en fortælling om, hvad der sker, når man bygger. For på samme måde som når man bygger huse, så opbygger og skaber man simultant fortællinger.
Keiria Hissabu
Keiria Hissabu (1999) er filminstruktør, og arbejder i feltet mellem dokumentar og fiktion. Hendes arbejde er bygget op gennem tæt samarbejde på tværs af forskellige kunstformer. Ved at inddrage viden og færdigheder fra et bredere kunstnerisk felt, udvider Hissabu den visuelle oplevelse og lader den strække sig på tværs af bl.a. musik, dans/performance og arkitektur. Ved at eksperimentere med live-performances, bevægelse og opsætninger af alternative screeninger, undersøger og udfordrer Hissabu i sin praksis filmmediet og dets mulighedsfelt. Hissabu studerer på Dokumentarinstruktørlinjen på Den Danske Filmskole i København, og har bl.a. deltaget i dette års CPH:DOX med kortfilmen Δx = x_f – x_0.

Oslo Architecture Triennale's Director performs and debates his new manifesto for better neighbourhood-making practices for the first time
The forming of neighbourhoods is essential for the future of our cities, according to Christian Pagh, Director and Chief Curator of the Oslo Architecture Triennale.
Pagh dedicated the 2022 Triennale to exploring the neighbourhood as a scale and horizon for rethinking the development and operation of cities. The Triennale team is currently working on a book and manifesto to boost the mission of forming more diverse, generous, and caring neighbourhoods.
On this occasion, Christian Pagh will do a performative reading of the manifesto in a beta version – testing it for the first time with the public! The reading is followed by a round table conversation with three personalities engaged in urban transformation, who are asked to respond to the ideas presented – and discuss how the proposed actions might — or might not — be brought into reality.
Responding to The New Neighbourhood Manifesto are Jesse Shapins, Head of Urban Strategy & Design at NREP, Søren-Emil Schütt, co-founder, head of development and project Til Vægs, and Vesterbro Lokaludvalg's Jørgen Sprogøe Petersen.
The event is a collaboration between Oslo Architecture Triennale and CAFx.
Program:
16:30 – Doors open
17.00 – Performative reading of the New Neighbourhood Manifesto by Christian Pagh, Director and Chief Curator, Oslo Architecture Triennale
17:20 – Replies from panel experts and discussion
–19.00 Enjoy the exhibition and drinks!

The manifesto is back in vogue! Explore with us the functions and dysfunctions of this influential tool of agitation.
What a joy! Manifestos are "companion species"
— Sara Ahmed, Living a Feminist Life
CAFx has gathered 45 manifestos from all over the world, questioning the role of architecture in imagining and creating a sustainable future. These manifestos have inspired the exhibition Architecture and the Art of Agitation, an exploration of the history, function and aesthetic of the architecture manifesto as a means of stirring up utopian impulses, future fantasies and desires for historical ruptures.
At times clear-cut and programmatic, at times poetic, the language of the manifesto is making a comeback: Dissensus, loudness, persuasion, and provocation are once again in vogue. Communicative techniques once confined to the worlds of grassroots politics, totalitarian regimes and artistic avant-gardes, are now infiltrating the rhetorics of time-honored cultural institutions and established architectural organs.
Reevaluating the manifesto genre and its recent renaissance, Architecture and the Art of Agitation invites you to question where the language of architectural imagination stands today. What are the social, cultural and political functions of the manifesto? Has the manifesto become powerless in a society where even those in power write manifestos?
We will examine the manifesto's discursive relations and utopian potential through a five-part Reading Club hosted during the exhibition by theorists, practitioners, activists and artists.
45 people submitting manifestos within the Manifesto Relay initiative.

Come celebrate the opening of the exhibition Architecture and the Art of Agitation and join the kick-off event of our manifesto reading club!
Prior to the UIA congress, Copenhagen Architecture Festival (CAFx) has gathered 45 manifestos from all over the world, questioning the role of architecture in imagining and creating a sustainable future. These manifestos have inspired the exhibition Architecture and the Art of Agitation, an exploration of the history, function and aesthetic of the architecture manifesto as a tool of agitation.
Reevaluating the manifesto genre and its recent renaissance, we will examine the manifesto's discursive relations and utopian potential through a five-part Reading Club hosted during the exhibition period.
On the opening of the Architecture and the Art of Agitation exhibition, we are rereading two seminal architectural manifestos, starting with Le Corbusier's classic Towards an Architecture (1923), turning 100 this year. Kristoffer Weiss, philosopher, director of the Danish Architectural Press and ex-partner in EFFEKT, will be our guide into the universes of Le Corbusier, envisioning an ideal (urban) order, and Rem Koolhaas' pragmatist manifesto Junkspace (2001), embracing the chaos of 'dirty realism'.
How do these incredibly influential urbanists and manifesto authors differ in their approach to architecture and agitation in different urban contexts and periods? What are their legacy and relevance today–if any?
You can download the two manifestos that will be discussed tonight, read them in advance and prepare questions starting here:
Junkspace by Rem Koolhaas (2002)
Towards a New Architecture by Le Corbusier (1923)
Program:
16:30 - Doors open
17:00 - Contextual reading by Kristoffer Weiss

10 May CAFx Manifesto Reading Club Vol. III: Revisiting the Situationists with David Pinder
If the construction site were our classroom, what type of knowledge would surface in it? Off-site seminar on artistic tools used in engaging with public space.
Registration deadline: March 6th. See details below.
An interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge on methodologies and artistic tools used in engaging with and creating works for public space. A theoretical, interactive, practical exploration of ways in which artists can benefit from the working process employed in different disciplines, such as visual arts, architecture, dance/choreography, critical theory and sound.
In the workshop, we will try to take a closer look into a construction site. A place usually not approachable to us – a site already occupied by an activity. A site in transfiguration; a fenced area where the information about what was there before still lingers, yet the atmosphere of what's next (the future) begins to be projected. Halfway there, in the midst – at the intersection of decisions.
The construction sites we will take as our case study will be Papirøen and Operaparken (TBC), both designed by the architecture firm Cobe. This location is poignant for us because of its almost 300-year history in which the rise of the city is inscribed. The island was built on waste discarded from the surrounding city, has fulfilled multiple functions for the citizens, and we are currently witnessing the latest phase of change from being an abandoned paper factory to gaining a new, hybrid role.
The off-site seminar will take place over three full days from 10-16, each consisting of three parts: guided walks through the site led by professionals from different disciplines, discussions with participants, and practical tasks and exercises related to artistic engagement with the specific site.
The guided walks will be led by: a professional with deep knowledge of urban research (especially regarding the developments happening in the city over the past decade), a professional who will present us with the current state of the construction site and its plans for the future, and the duo of visual artist Lea Anic and choreographer Lana Hosni who will guide a walk with the aim of experiencing the site through movement and sound. The latter will form the basis of entering the site from the perspective of an artist and open a dialogue on the question: Which information lingers on the site, beyond what we can grasp by sight and language?
The dialogue and discussion will revolve around the walks taken, as well as the excerpts from selected texts, films and various artworks in connection to artistic practices engaging with the public space, such as works by the likes of Renata Lucas, Alvin Baltrop, Gordon Matta Clark, Sandi Hilal, Alessandro Petti, etc.
The practical tasks will be given to participants with the aim of collecting different clues and inputs in relation to their interests from the construction site. Through a series of exercises, we will investigate how we can inhabit a site with our bodies, with our voices. From the collected materials and different methods employed, collective knowledge of working within the site will be created and shared.
The off-site seminar is aimed at students and professionals working in the field of visual arts, architecture, dance, and sound, who have an interest in working with/within the public space, and learning more about artistic practices related to developing art projects in public spaces.
The participation is free and will be limited to a maximum of 15 participants.
The registration is open until the 1st of March. To register, please write a brief motivation letter and send it to niels.christensen@kunstakademiet.dk. The applications will be processed by mid-March.
The off-site seminar is facilitated by Lea Anic, together with Carla Zaccagnini, the professor at The School of Conceptual and Contextual Practices. It is organized in collaboration between The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and Copenhagen Architecture Festival, supported by Statens Kunstfond.
Tak til Cobe og NCC for samarbejdet.
How is art situated in building processes and transformations of the built environment? Full-day seminar about new methods and collaborative perspectives within art and architecture.
How is art situated in building processes and transformations of the built environment? What forms of collaboration do art-in-architecture create between art, architecture and landscape? What are the site-specific characteristics of art-in-architecture?
On February 9, KØS invites you to a full-day seminar about situating art-in-architecture. At the seminar, international experts in art and architecture reflect upon how we produce and experience art-in-architecture. The seminar presents new methods and cross-disciplinary perspectives on the topic and contributes to a renewed discussion about the collaboration between art and architecture.
With generous support from the New Carlsberg Foundation, KØS-post.doc. Ditte Vilstrup Holm leads a research project on building-related art and key insights from the research project is presented at the seminar.
In connection with the historical development of public art towards more temporary, experimental and socially engaged forms, art-in-architecture has been framed as the more archaic form of public art, perceived as limited by its linkage to building processes and the space of architecture. In this seminar, KØS wants to challenge the perception of a negatively limited art form, and also inspire further experiments in art-in-architecture.
We have invited distinguished experts to participate in the seminar, including Albena Yaneva, Professor in architectural theory at the University of Manchester, and Mechtild Widrich, Professor in art history, theory and criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. We look forward to tell you more about the seminar and speakers, but for now, simply reserve the date of February 9, 2023, and follow KØS Instagram, Facebook or KOES.dk for updates.
The seminar is developed and organized by KØS museum of art in public spaces on the basis of a post.doc.-project funded by the New Carlsberg Foundation.
The seminar is supported by the New Carlsberg Foundation and Dreyers Fond, and is carried out in collaboration with Copenhagen Architecture Festival (CAFx).

På Copenhagen Contemporary udstilles LYDEN AF LUNDTOFTEGADE, hvor en gruppe unge fra Nørrebro har indsamlet lyde og billeder fra deres hverdag i Lundtoftegade.
"Når jeg kigger ud ad vinduet, ser jeg flyvemaskiner flyve oppe i skyer, der ligner delfiner"
I forbindelse med Copenhagen Architecture Festivals tema STEDSANS har en gruppe af unge, i samarbejde med musiker Frederik Henrik Møller, indsamlet lyde og billeder fra deres hverdag i Lundtoftegade.
De unge har optaget og improviseret klaver, lavet interviews, teater, fotograferet og besøgt det Rytmiske Musikkonservatorium, hvor de har indspillet et digt. Lydværket som udstilles på Copenhagen Contemporary, tager udgangspunkt i det sted, hvor de unge lever. For at give lydværket en billedside viser vi også billeder de unge har taget af deres hverdag og hjem.
Billederne der akkompagnerer de unges lydværk vises ligeledes på udstillingsstedet Til Vægs' skærme, d. 15-22 oktober 2022 i Lundtoftegade.

Denne selvguidede gåtur tager dig med på en opdagelsesrejse som understreger stedet, historien og sanserne, og som består af en række nedslagspunkter, der vil gøre dig opmærksom på vigtigheden i at forstå et sted i sammenhæng med sine omgivelser som forudsætning for udvikling af nye byområder.
Kortet kan downloades her eller hentes i papirform i receptionen hos STED i Pakhus 48, Sundkaj 153, 1 tv., 2150 Nordhavn.
Fredag d. 14/10 fra klokken 18 byder STED indenfor til uformel udstilling sammen med Vilhelm Lauritzen Arkitekter, hvor du kan høre mere om deres arbejde og diskutere dine opdagelser. Dette foregår på tegnestuen i Pakhus 48, Sundkaj 153, 1 tv, 2150 Nordhavn
En række af landets fremmeste tegnestuer inviterer indenfor i de rum, hvor arkitekturen opstår; fra tegnebord og tegnestue til byggeplads og byrum. I år reflekterer arkitekterne over stedsansen i deres praksis: Hvilke interventionsformer muliggør og fremhæver stedbegrebet? Og hvad vil det sige at tænke arkitektur som stedsskabelse?
Gennem vidt forskellige formater præsenterer tegnestuerne deres processer, metoder og tankegange, og tilbyder de besøgende at deltage i en åben og eksperimenterende dialog om arkitektur, landskaber og byplanlægning. Dette er din mulighed for en uformel samtale med nogle af landets fremmeste arkitekter og høre mere om de arbejdsmetoder, der skaber fremtidens byggeri og boligformer.
I år kan du i vores ‘Åbent Hus’-format møde følgende tegnestuer:
6/10: Marianne Levinsen og Kristine Jensen
SALON - Kom til samtalesalon med to toneangivende landskabsarkitekter, når de sammen reflekterer over at arbejde med stedet som arkitektonisk protagonist.
FOREDRAG – – Stedsans gennem 25 år: Om arbejdet med bevaring og udvikling af den byggede kulturarv
SAMTALE – Naturens narrativer: Hør hvordan Norrøn arbejder med arkitektonisk iscenesættelse af naturens fænomener og fortællinger.
12/10 Opland Landskabsarkitekter

13/10 Over Byen: Transformation i Frederiksstaden
GUIDET TUR – Over Byen Arkitekter viser tre eksempler på transformation i hjertet af vores arkitektoniske kulturarv.
14/10: STED by- og landskabsarkitekter
GUIDET TUR + SALON – Gennem en kurateret opdagelsesrejse i Nordhavnen og til kulturnat på tegnestuen vil du opleve, hvordan STED arbejder med udvikling af nye bykvarterer.
Kom og vær med til en fortryllende og sanselig workshop, der beder deltagerne om kollektivt at sætte ord på byudvikling, almene boligområder og hvordan kunst kan bidrage til velfærd.
Visual Matrix er baseret på Social Dreaming, som oprindeligt blev udviklet som en forskningsmetode i 1980'erne i forlængelse af den britiske Tavistock-tradition. Formålet med metoden er dels at afdække komplekse associative og imaginære relationer og kollektive processer uden at reducere dem til rationaliseret verbalisering. Dels er det en metode til at udvikle fællesskaber, hvor individer deler deres tanker og fantasier.
Gruppen arbejder for at etablere gensidigt understøttende rum for i fællesskab at undersøge og pleje relationerne mellem mennesker og teknologier. Gennem performances, workshops og kunstnerisk produktion skaber de forbindelser mellem personlige oplevelser over kollektive eksperimenter med at dekonstruere digitaliseringen af hverdagen.
Centre for Cyber Wellness er en kunstgruppe, der består af medlemmerne: Halfdan Mouritzen, Maia Kahlke Lorentzen, Jacob Remin, Andreas Hjort Bundgaard og Henrik Chulu.

Hvordan arbejder man strategisk med stedsans? Og hvad betyder stedsans for udviklingsstrategier? Forvirret? Bliv klogere til paneldebat om destinationsudvikling på BRUS.
Mikrobryggeriet Mikropolis, der står bag TOØL og baren BRUS har både en eksistens i byerne og på landet. Begge steder er de optaget af det, der sker omkring deres produktion og produkter, i mødet med mennesker og steder. Deres fabrik i Svinninge er ikke blot en fabrik men et samlingspunkt for lokalbefolkningen, og deres bar på Nørrebro i København var en del af tegnestuen Briq’s plan for at løfte et udefineret hjørne af byen, i fare for at blive omdannet til supermarked og parkering. Historien om Mikropolis taler ind i en praksis, der vinder frem indenfor arkitektur og byplanlægning, hvor stedets mere flygtige karakterer, identitet og iboende potentialer gives større opmærksomhed.
Til at diskutere fænomenet har vi Peter Bur fra BRIQ, der designer byliv, Marco Behrentz fra tegnestuen Norrøn, der arbejder med udvikling af især randområder og Christian Astorp fra Mikropolis. Samtalen modereres af Anne Katrine Harders fra DAC
Arrangementet er gratis. Gå ikke glip af resten af dagsprogrammet på BRUS og i Empire Bio d. 13. oktober, hvor vi både indvier et stedsspecifikt kunstværk af SIIKU kl. 16 og og viser filmen 'Best in the World' kl. 20 med efterfølgende debat om Københavns dobbeltsidede udvikling med efterfølgende drinks.
En bydel med blandede funktioner og en grøn struktur som bindeled. Oplev hvordan tegnestuen Vandkunsten har dannet grundlag for byudviklingen i Arenakvarteret.
En af de centrale emner i Arenakvarteret er variation. Et formsprog som giver plads til multifunktionalitet og rumlighed. Vi skal besøge Arenakvarterets mange variationer – både i karakter og funktion. Arkitekt og partner i Vandkunsten, Jan Albrechtsen, vil gøre os klogere på byfælledens rolle som samlingspunkt for natur og by, samt Vandkunstens arbejde med et byrum i varierende skala. En helt særlig mulighed for at høre om hvordan den anerkendte tegnestue Vandkunsten arbejder.
I 2014 modtog Jan Albrechtsen, sammen med Pernille Schyum Poulsen fra Vandkunsten, Eckersberg Medaljen for sit årelange arbejde med byudvikling.
Arrangementet er organiseret af Forbundet Arkitekter og Designere (FAOD) og Danske Landskabsarkitekter (DL), hvis medlemmer kan købe billet til 70 kr. i stedet for normalpris 100 kr.
SUMO præsenterer for først gang sit nye koncept: BYklog. Et arrangement, hvor vi sammen får mulighed for at fordybe os i et emne præsenteret af en by-ekspert. Forud for sit oplæg har oplægsholderen videregivet relevant litteratur, der giver os mulighed for at dykke dybere ned i emnet.
For den britiske arkitekt Peter Cook har tegningen altid været det vigtigste redskab. Han har kun opført enkelte bygninger, men har til gengæld markeret sig som en af efterkrigstidens mest betydningsfulde arkitekturteoretikere og papirarkitekter. I 1960 var han med til at stifte Archigram, en gruppe unge arkitekter, der udfordrede deres samtids arkitektoniske idealer. De tog udgangspunkt i tidens aktuelle strømninger, såsom rumalderen, præfabrikerede bygningselementer og informationsteknologi, ligesom de hentede inspiration fra den amerikanske modkultur og popkunst-scene. Dette foredrag vil undersøge bevægelsens nøgleværker og deres indvirkning på den efterfølgende arkitektur.

Med et morgenfriskt blik og en enkel human teknologi skal vi på jagt efter de følelser, tanker og associationer som byens pladser, bygninger, rum og møbler vækker i os.
Hvilke tanker, følelser og associationer opstår i byens rum, og hvordan opdager vi dem?
Kan et sted være vellykket arkitektur og samtidig føles underligt urovækkende? Kan de intentioner, der materialiserer sig i steder, afføde konkrete tanker og følelser? Hvordan spiller ubevidste motiver hos byskaberne sammen med borgernes oplevelse af byen?
I samtalen deltager Vicedirektør i By-, Kultur- og Miljøområdet i Frederiksberg Kommune, Tove Skrumsager Frederiksen, konsulent i Ratgeber, Anette Højgaard Jønson og professor i psykologi på Roskilde Universitet, Steen Visholm. Sociolog Thøger Riis Michelsen perspektiverer og illustrerer gennem Backscatters arbejde med ”Soft City Sensing” – en metode, der samler og afkoder de digitale aftryk, som hver dag efterlades på de sociale medier og fortæller noget om menneskers oplevelse af steder.
Glæd dig til at blive introduceret til en low tech metodik, som skaber nye former for samtale og refleksion - og som måske kan være en hjælpsom metode for arkitekter, ingeniører, designere, byplanlæggere m.fl.
