"A little from coloumn A, and a little from coloumn B"
.......................................................

This solo exhibition, on the invitation of Danish artist Kim T. Grønborg was a total installation of a gallery and concert space in the city of Aarhus in the period from April 2 nd to April 25 th, 2004.

We used a week of around the clock work to transform the space into one big ‘canvas’, by constructing an alternate space with the help of homemade geometrical tools and 390 different cardboard triangles, measured and cut out during that period. The shape itself was created in FormZ to fit the room and each triangle had a specific place in the structure. The ‘canvas’ was then used as an open forum for creative expression with a variety of medias from letters and colors to different kinds of projection. The reshaping itself was grounded on the utopic ideas of Buckminster-Fuller and the dome structure as an alternative and sustainable model for living, for which reason it was an open construction that ideally could be extended infinitely.

The structure represented a wish within floorless to have the ability for painting and working directly on the walls of any given space. This could not be granted as Spanien 19C is an artist run space with very little funding – which posed the dilemma from which the structure was created – forming an entirely new geography, feel and acoustic within the exhibition space itself.

During the period several concerts/performances took place in the space and it served as a chill out room, conveying a sense of being in another world with new possibilities, where people could enjoy and formulate the sensitive experience of being in a modified room with new spatial limitations, where they had the possibility of making a critical standpoint and/or discussion of the world outside. The work was still in progress the first five days of the opening period, where it was a live action event of shaping/re-shaping, decorating and banging our heads against the clock on the wall.

In addition it is worth noting that we had the help of several people from Aarhus Byhøjskole, without whom the exhibition would still be a ‘work in progress’. We are much obliged.
