rum46 er glade for at præsentere udstillingen Grúpat af komponisten og multikunstneren Jennifer Walshe (Irland).
Gæstekurator for sidste års SPOR festival, Jennifer Walshe er igen repræsenteret på SPOR festival. Værket hun har medbragt til festivalen i år, er en udstilling om det internationale kunstkollektiv Grúpat fra Dublin, Irland. De ni medlemmer af kunstnerkollektivet har alle forskellige måder at udtrykke sig på, hvilke spænder fra stumfilm til lyd-poesi, samlinger af spejle fundet i hjemsøgte huse, grafiske partiturer, soniske relikvier og drag queen kostumer.
Udstillingen kan opleves på rum46, Udstillingsstedet Spanien 19C & Kvindemuseet.
GRÙPAT
Exhibition
Guest curator for last year’s SPOR festival, composer and multi artist Jennifer Walshe is once again presented at SPOR festival. The work she has brought to the festival this year is a large exhibition about the international art collective Grúpat based in Dublin, Ireland. The nine members of the art collective all have various ways of expression, which range from silent movies to sound poetry, collections of mirrors taken from haunted houses, graphic scores, sonic reliquaries and drag queen costumes.
Walshe is known for her many-faceted ways of expression too, and the exhibition at SPOR pushes this up another level. For Grúpat is in fact a fictional collective, and it’s members are all Walshe’s own alter egos.
The exhibition can be experienced during and after the festival at three different venues: The Women’s Museum, rum46 and The Exhibition Space Spanien 19C.
Artist talk by Jennifer Walshe
The artist talk between Jennifer Walshe and Christian Skovbjerg Jensen (Inter Arts Center) will focus on Walshe’s use of alter egos in her Grúpat projects and exhibitions, discussing both the opportunities and difficulties of working with fictional characters in contemporary music.
