mikrogalleriet: 1 year!

yes, mikrogalleriet has come of age. today it is exactly 1 year ago, since the opening of our first exhibit “49cm”. and what a crazy year it has been! i am truly overwhelmed by the positive reception we have gotten, and by all the wonderful people we have met through our work with the gallery.

and it doesn’t stop here: we can proudly annouce that we will host tristan perich and zach layton for a residency in mikrogalleriet / cph:air in january and february 2010. this is crazy cool - watch this space! also, do note that tristan perich is coming to copenhagen with loud objects in a week already, playing at the festival of endless gratitude. yay!

5-7/12: “interference” solo exhibition with carlos katastrofsky

[update: interview with carlos katastrofsky on kopenhagen.dk]

opening: friday 5/12 19.00 [pictures from the opening and CIID open lecture here]

performance “on translation”: sunday 7/12 15.00 [video here]

in  physics the concept of interference applies to when two or more harmonic electronic signals or waves of light or sound, overlap and a new wave emerges on a different frequency. the title of this exhibition series describes the interaction between curator and artist, our communication across long distance, and between the three galleries involved: between off and online, the transformation and movement of the immaterial between the virtual sphere and physical space and our public discussion forum on the internet. we could also use the term interference to describe the frequencies created in the encounter between the public and the art.

the austrian media artist carlos katastrofsky describes his online artworks as harmonies based on the interference of the cultural waves in the online world, e.g. the development in file sharing, the copyright debate, surveillance and pornography.

19-21/9: mikrogalleriet at alt_cph

this coming weekend, mikrogalleriet will attend the alt_cph air fair together will a lot of other exiting scandinavian galleries. the focus of this years alt_cph is on immaterial art, non-commercial art and activism. we are thrilled to be part of what seems to become an action packed, fun and very interesting art fair.

for alt_cph mikrogalleriet will present two works: “work in progress” by ole kristensen and “network, 2008″ by C.E.B. reas. both works relate to visualization of processes and the aesthetics of code, “work in progress” being a physical manifestation of machine art, producing finely detailed drawings on paper throughout the exhibition, “network, 2008″ a visualization of an ever evolving network structure, being integrated in the walls of mikrogalleriets booth.
