Home Is Where Your Heart Is af Matilde Mørk, med værker af Julie Stavad og performance af Stina Strange Thue Linjen Home Is Where Your Heart Is kommer fra en fællessang dedikeret til Helga Köhler, en tysk hjerteven af Matilde Mørk. Som refræn er den allerede ved at skifte krop, men overgangen slipper ikke helt taget. En krukke spændes ind i et net, læderremme vrider sig ned i en mursten, fotografier, udklip og håndskrevne lapper overlapper og stikker ind over hinanden. I Julie Stavads værker bærer noget ved at klemme, andet holdes sammen ved at holde igen, og det, der omslutter, trækkes selv ud af form. På åbningsaftenen skærer Stina Strange Thues rødklædte krop gennem rummet og vender siden tilbage på video, klippet fri af sin baggrund, hverken helt her eller der. Imens slipper refrænet ud med publikum på Artist Run Aarhus’ kunstrute. Rum46 bliver liggende i vandringen som en membran, hvor passage skifter fart, hæfter og går videre. Udstillingen og festivalen deler titel og griber ind i hinanden i rum46, hvor den større bevægelse snævres ind, fortykkes og lækker videre. Hjemmet sidder i “mellemrummets skælvende spænding” (Astrida Neimanis), i den urene kontakt mellem at holde og slippe, trænge ind og blive holdt ude, høre til og allerede være på vej, porøst nok til passage, sejt nok til ikke at gå i opløsning.

Home Is Where Your Heart Is by Matilde Mørk, with works by Julie Stavad and a performance by Stina Strange Thue The line Home Is Where Your Heart Is comes from a communal song dedicated to Helga Köhler, a German friend close to Matilde Mørk’s heart. As a refrain, it is already changing bodies, but the passage does not quite let go. A pot is cinched into a net, leather straps twist down into a brick, photographs, cut-outs and handwritten scraps overlap, their edges cutting into one another. In Julie Stavad’s works, support turns viscous, one thing bears by pressing in, another holds together by holding back, and what encloses is itself pulled out of shape. On opening night, Stina Strange Thue’s red-clad body cuts through the room and later returns on video, cut free from its background, neither quite here nor there. Meanwhile, the refrain slips out with the audience onto the Artist Run Aarhus art route. rum46 stays folded into the walk like a membrane, where passage changes speed, catches and moves on. The exhibition and the festival share a title and fold into one another at rum46, where the larger movement narrows, thickens and leaks onward. Home gathers in the “quivering tension of the in-between” (Astrida Neimanis), in the impure contact between holding and letting go, entering and being kept out, belonging somewhere and already being on the way, porous enough for passage, viscous enough not to dissolve.
