In residency with their work Crush on Chaos, the Courtship of Alliance.

About the work:

Crush on Chaos, the Courtship of Alliance: A confined and questionably delusional community searches for hope in dark times. Strategizing on how to transform the stagnant and deceased into an Active Culture they compulsively stumble up on…love.

About Liina and Hrefna:
Obsessed with the idea of the immaterial Gesamtkunstwerk, Liina Magnea (b. 1991 Berlin /DE) combines music, movement, film dramaturgy and internet scrolling into a shape-shifting, dynamic performance.

She also works as a performer and musician for other artists, gives vocal coachings and supports people suffering from addiction.

You Make Me Feel

Nadja Voorham & Victoria Kaldan

ABOUT THE THE WORK:
You Make Me Feel is a collaboration between Nadja Voorham and Victoria Kaldan. The performance is a choreographic research on the notion of the uncanny. Originally coined by the japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori in 1970, the term describes feelings of eeriness or even revulsion, when we discover that something appearing to be human is not quite human.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Nadja Voorham is an artist and performer interested in the social body and its performance, in relation to the gaze. Nadja received her BA Fine Arts in 2012 at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie (NL) and her MA Contemporary Art Practice in 2017 at the Royal College of Art (UK). Her work has been presented at places such as Art Rotterdam (NL), Mimosa House (UK), Chisenhale Art Place (UK), Weld (SE), Notafe festival (EE), Ellen de Bruijne Projects (NL). Nadja received The Swedish Arts Grants Committee working grant in 2023.

Victoria Kaldan is an interdisciplinary artist working across performance, moving image, sculpture, images and sound. Victoria holds an MA in Sculpture from Royal College of Art (UK) from 2017 and a BA in Comparative Literature from University of Copenhagen. She has previously shown work in Kunsthal Charlottenborg (DK), Collective Ending (UK) and Weserhalle (DE). Victoria is currently doing a residency at Springbrættet 6a (DK).
