TEXT

Ormetid - En soloudstilling af kunstnerduo Consider to be Allies
/ Mie Frederikke Fischer Christensen og Margaux Parillaud.

I udstillingen Ormetid udforsker Consider to be Allies ideer om ormehuller, tidsrejser og parallelle universer og inviterer beskueren til at tage en omvej gennem universet, der besøger andre mulige virkeligheder.

I Ormetid bruger duoen science fiction og videnskabens teorier om andre universer til at udfordre individets virkelighedsopfattelse.
I udstillingslokalet har Consider to be Allies skabt en installation, der kombinerer to store tekstil skulpturer med forstørrede lyserøde orme, der kommer krybende ind af ormehuller i rummets overflader. Installationen suppleres af et meditativt lydværk, der inviterer besøgende på en rejse i Ormetid.

I stationens forhal kan du se plakatfrisen Ormehjerne: 15 plakater, der kombinerer tegninger, egne og fundne fotografier og noter, i en collage, der give et indblik i kunstnernes bagvedliggende research. Udstillingen trækker tråde til popkulturelle fænomener som multiverset og teorier om metafysik og modal realisme. Virkeligheden ser ud til at udvide sig i alle retninger, men alligevel synes individets univers at krympe. Det er emner, som kunstnerne selv forsøger at arbejde med på en taktil og legende måde og skaber et ormehul mellem det uhåndgribelige og det jordnære.

På ferniseringsdagen aktiveres tekstil skulpturerne i udstillingslokalet i performancen The Relation Ship.
Med publikums hjælp udfoldes de til et mulighedsrum for kollektiv leg og forestilling. gennem en fælles koreografi tages publikum med igennem Ormetid hvor skulpturen kan være alt fra rumskib, til hule, portal og sort hul.
Performancen er afhængig af deltagernes medvirken og det er den fælles handlekraft der åbner op for et ormehul, hvor den enkelte kan se sig selv som en del af en større helhed. I udstillingslokalet kan man se en dokumenteret version af performancen The Relation Ship, der er udført i samarbejde med elever fra Nørre Gymnasium.

TAK: Udstillingen er venligst støttet af Københavns kommune -Rådet for Visuel Kunst og Statens Kunstfond
Poul Johansen fonden og Aage og Johanne Louis-Hansen Fond har givet støttet til plakatfrisen og billboard.
Særligt tak til Titta Sioni som lægger stemme til orme meditationen og eleverne på Nørre gymnasium for deres medvirken.

English:

The exhibition Wormtime Consider to be Allies explores the idea of ​​wormholes, time travel and parallel universes. and invites the viewer to take a detour through the universe to other perspectives and possible realities.

In Wormtime, science fiction and scientific theories about alternate universes are used to challenge the individual's perception of reality. In the exhibition space, Consider to be Allies creates an installation that combines two large textile sculptures with enlarged pink worms that enter through wormholes in the surfaces of the room. The installation is complemented by a sound work that invites visitors on a meditative journey through the wormhole.

In the station's foyer, a Brainworm of 15 posters combines drawings, found images, photographs and notes in a collage that offers insight to the thoughts and research that informs the exhibition as a whole.
The exhibition draws threads to pop cultural phenomena such as the multiverse and theories of metaphysics and modal realism. Reality seems to expand in all directions, yet the individual's universe seems to be shrinking. These are topics that the artists themselves try to work on in a tactile and playful way, creating a wormhole between the intangible and the down-to-earth.

On the opening day, the textile sculptures in the exhibition room are activated in the participatory performance The Relation Ship.
With the help of the audience, they unfold into a space of opportunity for collective play and storytelling.
Through a shared choreography, the audience is taken through Wormtime, where the sculpture can become anything from a spaceship to a cave, a portal or a black hole. The performance is dependent on participants and it is the shared action that connects the individual with the collective experience. In the exhibition space, you can see a documented version of the performance The Relation Ship, performed in collaboration with highschool students from Nørre Gymnasium.
