Evil Knievel; High on Life
Galloperiet, Christiania, 8. august – 31. august, 2008, tirsdag-søndag kl. 12-18.Fernisering: Fredag den 8. august, kl. 19-24 (kollektiv performance kl. 21 og musik kl. 22-24).
| Siden 2000 har Evil
Knievel
optrådt
på den internationale kunstscene med sine
spektakulære og udfordrende
performances. Nu er han kommet til Galloperiet på Christiania
med
udstillingen "Evil Knievel - High on Life". Udstillingen markerer
begyndelsen på en ny retning i hans værk, hvor han
udforsker den
amerikanske ånds forhold til spiritualitet gennem den
psykedeliske
kultur. Under sit tre ugers ophold på Christiania vil Evil Knievel således ikke blot udvide sit 'billedrepertoire', men hele sin professions koncept. Gennem meditation og sociale aktiviteter vil han grunde og blive et med bevægelsen "High on Life!" Udstilling består af en installation og en performance. På Galloperiet vil Evil Knievel invitere indenfor i en totalinstallation af beduinertelt og høstakke. Her kan publikum konsultere den litteratur han studerer og se hans nye serie af såkaldte motivation posters, billeder der skal inspirere dig til at opdage din egen, helt særlige åndelige styrke. Det er do-it-yourself coaching for dig der vil noget stort med livet, ligesom Evil Knievel. Installationen vil også danne rammen om en række events, hvor film (torsdage) og mad (fredage) er medierne til at udforske den amerikanske ånds spiritualitet. |
 Parallelt med installationen vil Evil Knievel hver dag et sted på Christianias volde sidde i et hul under en baldakin og meditere 5 timer. Ved udstillingens slutning vil han rejse sig, oplyst og begynde arbejdet med High on Life. Information om meditationen indgår som en del af installationen på Galloperiet. |

SLEEPING IN SPANDRELS
In this spirit of creating unintended uses, Douglas Paulson and Christopher Robbins will turn the water-borne Spandrels of Copenhagen into places to sleep. As part of Parfyme Deluxe's Harbour Laboratory, they will scour the waterways of Copenhagen for spandrels, and build structures for sleeping. Once they complete a structure, they will test it by sleeping in it that night, and then move on to their next, or else refine as needed, and re-test.
Now, this project will not take place in Christiania. Rather, it is an attempt to apply Christiania-inspired ideals of alternative urban architecture, collective ownership, and societal interventions into the city of Copenhagen.

The Higher
Academy of Happiness
visits Christiania
| The
world usually measures how well a
society is doing by its economy – GDP. There is a real
interest now
though in GNH – Gross National Happiness. Denmark is seen as
one of
the happiest places in the world. Christiania is its most famous
social experiment. The Higher Academy of Happiness has
therefore identified Christiania as
a model of practice to develop the criteria for their new Happiness in
the Workplace Awards.. The Academy’s consultant will be conducting action research via work experience placements, dialogue with random strangers, balloon games and time and motion studies. The inquiry will use the arts and experiential learning to produce data that defines good work and how it can be valued, and on job satisfaction and well-being in the workplace. Residents will be asked to engage as reflective practitioners in this groundbreaking research to share what they know with each other and the world outside. |
 Artist Rae Chapman trades under the name of the Higher Academy of Happiness, using art as a way of doing research on the good life. |

Christiania's
Local History Museum.
A study by Rasmus Blædel Larsen
"Museums
perform their most fruitful public service by providing an educational
experience in the broadest sense: by fostering the ability to live
productively in a pluralistic society and to contribute to the
resolution of the challenges we face as global citizens."(Hein/Alexander 1994)
 |
Primarily
based on research at the Copenhagen City Museum, at the library of
Museology and fieldwork at 7 local history museums in Denmark; the
project's aim is to present an economically feasible, an academically
viable and a location-sensitive model for a future history-museum about
Christiania. The project is part of an ethnological apprenticeship at
the City Museum of Copenhagen – and will result in a report,
which will
be endorsed by the Museum, then submitted to the University, and
finally serve as a possible starting-point for the creation of a local
history museum in/about Christiania. The Last phase of the project is
to register objects inside Christiania, which may be part of a future
collection. The objects are photographed, catalogued, and the story or
stories the object represents are documented – and hopefully
the result
will be a fine initial virtual collection of objects and a burlesque
edifying anthology of stories – which may serve as the
cornerstone of a
future 'House-of-Experiences-so-Far'. Support - objects, photographs, documents, reports, ideas - are wholeheartedly appreciated. Rasmus /rasmus@artsourcelab.net/ (which is also where to request a copy of the report - in danish) |

In

and thanks to my MA , I have come in
contact , with various
journalists from all over the world . And although all of them
follow the news I was surprised to find out that only one or of them
know the story of Christiania . That motivated me to dedicate my
Thesis project , a fifteen minute documentary for radio to
Christiania and its current situation . My project will look into the
problems that Christiania is facing with the government, what will
be done after the decision taken on the 2nd
of July . At the same time will try to lively present the real life
of Christiania , with the help of the citizens and their stories in an
effort to explain to the audience how does this community exactly
works .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Paths Through Utopias, Isa Fremeaux & John Jordan
Activist and artist John Jordan and Isa Fremeaux have visited CRIR in march and April as a part of a dvd and publishing project. John Jordan was among other things a central figure in the creation of the Reclaim the Streets movement."Paths Through Utopias" is a book/dvd project which explores the possibility of pragmatic utopias existing within a deeply dystopian historical moment. It involves a 7 month journey across Europe visiting approximately 15 Utopian experiments. These range from a low impact permaculture community living in benders on a hill in Devon to a squatted Somalian embassy run by refugees in Brussels, from an anarchist School that has existed for 20 years in southern Spain to an occupied factory on the Edges of Belgrade.See a short presentation here

Public Pen-Pal Project
For
just a bit more than two weeks in January I got to live in
Christiania’s researchers in resident apartment in
Mælkebøtten and
wander around Christiania and Copenhagen hearing the exciting stories
of the free city, how some of you got here and what it means to you.Now I’m looking to share those stories a bit wider with a Public Pen-Pal Project (PP-PP). One part community development research, one part art project PP-PP is looking for a few people in Christiania who are willing and interested in exchanging letters and stories with public housing residents in Toronto, Canada. While these two communities are very different one thing they both have in common is that they are facing the threat of being removed through government sponsored gentrification. Whether it’s called normalization, or as in Toronto revitalization, this new development is threatening to erase the everyday stories that make these palaces unique.

Inger Wold Lund; U·to·pi·a
Entering Christiania with the Ferdinand Institute, on the quest for Utopia I quickly came to realize that my trip would take unexpected turns. Things were different than I had expected. I was different than I had expected. I found it hard to include people in my work. I put up posters for people to write on if they had any ideas of where Utopia was to be found, but the answers didn’t get me far. “Et sted i Skåne” (a place in Skåne), “Et rent offentlig toalett” (a clean public toilet) and “Om du blot ville hengive dig til mig” (if you would simply surrender yourself to me) seemed like solutions better then the ones I had come up with, but they didn’t get me there. I felt naïf. What superpowers did I think I had, getting myself out on an expedition like that? I really wasn’t feeling very well. And I was wearing my heart in short sleeves. It was not even springtime.
Deciding to follow in the old explorers footsteps I got hold of several maps of Copenhagen. I trusted my gut feeling, Utopia was to be found, but I realized that my sense of direction couldn’t be trusted. Inspired by Christiania’s slogan “Christiania, you have my heart”, and my own dubious bloodsupplier, I drew a number of routes shaped as hearts. I took the bike that so generously was offered to me and biked away. In heart shapes. Looking for Utopia. Sometimes people joined me. Sometimes I met people on the road. Sometimes I invited them for dinner. One time I biked farther then I had the powers to do. I got really angry, and didn’t even appreciate the albino deer that popped out around every corner, although that’s the kind of thing that I have seen pictured on drawings of Utopia. I am still not sure if I passed Utopia. Once, inside Christiania, while lying in a fine mans arms he told me that what I was looking for was right there. I don’t know though.
I visualized my trips. I found that the best way to show what I was doing. Inspired by the esthetics I saw around me in Christiania, I used thick black marker on the maps I had gotten hold of. All I left visible was the heart I had biked the outline of. It felt right. That was as far as I could see, and as close as I could be. I gave one map away to the man that said I had found Utopia. He said he wished I would stay, but I left.
(3 weeks later I found out that the reason I was not feeling well was anemia)

WATCHING THE DANISH GOVERNMENT, Jonathan trayner
| After
arriving in here I realised that I did not want to look at Christiania
but from it, this place has so many observers wanting to learn its
supposed secrets, some benign some less so, and I did not feel that I
wanted to do this. I was interested in the whole ‘paranoia’ about surveillance that we all have, control over our image and our identity, combined with the collection of huge amounts of unnecessary data that governments and companies store on our actions and movements. This is particularly close to the surface in a place like Christiania at a time like this. I decided therefore to go out into Copenhagen and secretly film the people going in and out of various government buildings, mainly parts of the Finance Ministry as they now deal with Christiania. This was for me a form of symbolically redressing the balance; you film us, we film you. Read the article here The weblink for the video is: http://www.trayner.org/crir |

How to rebel in a society that is already in a state of rebellion? How
do the young people relate to the world outside the town of Christiania

Guests from Bethanien in Berlin at CRIR
They have been making an exhibition at Gallopperiet, press below:Desire squat resist
Bethanien meets Christiania 7. – 29. July.
I hjertet af Kreuzberg står Bethanien – det først besatte hus i Berlin. Siden December 1971 har forskellige grupper beboet, kæmpet for - og brugt det statelige gamle sygehus. Siden nedlæggelsen af sygehusfunktionen i 1960´erne har kommunen ønsket at skille sig af med ejerskabet – nedrivning, privatisering og en række visionsløse lokalplaner har konstant truet husets eksistens. Men husets skiftende beboere har aldrig givet op og i efteråret 2006, efter en intens forhandlingsrunde og politisk lobbyisme, lykkedes det at få en lovliggørelse på plads og signeret af de stridende parter. Nu forestår den vanskelige og konfliktrige udmøntning af aftalen. Vækker denne beskrivelse et déjá vu i læseren, så kom på Gallopperiet - se og lær om hvordan man organiserer sig i Berlin - Tyskerne kommer!!
Der vil blive vist film og foranstaltet div. Udvekslingsaftaler.

Dutch artist. Nicoline was here last year doing research.This time she is doing:
She wrote last year:
"SELF-POLICING AND NEIGHBOURLINESS IN THE FREETOWN OF CHRISTIANIA
-looking for stories, opinions and historical material!
From November 17th to December 4th, I am working in Christiania as a ‘Researcher in Residence’, trying to learn something about the way the Freetown is organised.
In my art practise, I work with the idea that public space is in many ways owned by the people who spend the most time using it or watching it- professionally, out of curiosity, out of boredom or otherwise.
I have made projects in which I interviewed and photographed security guards, police officers, neighbourhood wardens and other professional street observers in Istanbul, London, Glasgow, Rotterdam and Berlin. This ‘Guide to Guards’ series is about formal control structures, but I also make work about informal structures, or social control, in cities."
