THE SITE-SPECIFIC CHALLENGE- Workshop with Kitt Johnson
This laboratory is based on Kitt Johnson’s work with the site-specific concept MELLEMRUM (Site-specific understood as art created with and for non-conventional art spaces). A concept she has been working with since 2008.
With point of departure in the specific mapping practice that has been developed for MELLEMRUM: THE WALK, THE TALK, THE ARCHIVE DIVE, we will develop concepts, drafts and strategies for works, that specifically relate to a given area.

The workshop is offered in collaboration with the Danish National School of Performing Arts- further education and Limfjordsteatret, initiated by Stisa Søgaard.

We will discuss the ethical responsibility related to the creation and presentation of art in non-conventional art spaces. We will work with actual, as well as fictive spaces, and basic phenomenological mapping. We will let ourselves be moved by the space. We will challenge it. We will shift it around and bring it into new contexts. Indoors, as well as outdoors. All types of formats are welcome!

The workshop is directed at performing- and visual artists, and others who are curious of the site specific.
