Bikubenfonden inviterer i samarbejde med Kunsthal Charlottenborg til interviewsalon med billed- og lydkunstner Alexander Tillegreen i samtale med den tyske kunsthistoriker og kurator Vanessa Joan Müller.

Lyd er omdrejningspunktet både konceptuelt og formalistisk i Alexander Tillegreens kunstneriske arbejde. Med lyden som referenceramme arbejder han undersøgende på tværs af medier og udtryksformer, såsom skulptur, grafik, maleri, installation og performances.

En gennemgående del af Tillegreens arbejde er udforskningen af forskellige betydningslag og forbindelser mellem det visuelle, det skulpturelle og det lydlige, som fx. værket ‘Phantom Streams’ (2020-), der tager udgangspunkt i fantom-ord; ordlyde, som lytteren selv gestalter illusorisk gennem oplevelsen af værket. Afhængigt af publikums fysiske placering og bevægelse i rummet ændrer lytteoplevelsen sig markant. Lytterens egne sproglige referencer og underbevidsthed skaber yderligere grundlag for, at ordstrømmene fra højttalere i rummet sanses og opfattes vidt forskelligt.

Livesamtalen mellem Alexander Tillegreen og Vanessa Joan Müller foregår på engelsk og finder sted på Kunsthal Charlottenborg.

Om Interviewsalonen
I interviewsalonen zoomer Bikubenfonden ind på en enkelt eller to kunstneres praksis med fokus på kunstnerens lovende og nyskabende tilgang til kunsten. Kunstneren er udstillings- eller forestillingsaktuel og har markeret sig banebrydende og nyskabende over kort tid. Interviewsalonen er et ’nærstudie’ og undersøgelse af kunstnerens særlige praksis og potentiale, et værk- og personnært interview.

ENGLISH

In collaboration with Kunsthal Charlottenborg, the Bikuben Foundation invites you to join this interview salon with visual and sound artist Alexander Tillegreen in conversation with German art historian and curator Vanessa Joan Müller.

Both conceptually and formally, sound is the focal point in Alexander Tillegreen’s artistic work. With sound as the frame of reference, he is working in an investigative way that spans across different mediums and different forms of expression, like sculpture, graphic arts, painting, installation and performance art.

A recurring part of Alexander Tillegreen’s work is the exploration of various layers of meaning and interconnections among the visual, the sculptural and the sonic, such as his piece ‘Phantom Streams’ (2020-) which is based on phantom words: wording that the listener him/herself gestalts in an illusory way through the experience of the artwork.

Depending on the visiting public’s individual physical placement and movement inside the room, the listening experience changes markedly. The listener's own linguistic references and subconscious mind generate further bases for the word streams issuing from speakers placed in the room to be sensed and perceived in very different ways.

The live conversation between Alexander Tillegreen and Vanessa Joan Müller is held in English and takes place at Kunsthal Charlottenborg.
