We want a laboratory to create an experimental SALON, inspired by the interwar artist milieu and counter-movements, a place where we dive deep into the collective process to find an innovative expression in relation to our present, themes, form and process. What is the avant-garde of the 2020s?
HAUT x Bikubenfonden Pop Up Residency
Residency period from 22.06.-25.06.2020
Through a collective sensory movement, LOGEN will revive and reestablish the forgotten Avantgardens Women and rewrite our own history. Through an experimental study of the SALON format, we hope to find clarity in our own visions.
With the two experimental works “Historien om Øjet” and “DEATH TO TRUTH OF BEAUTY”, LOGEN has established itself in the performing arts environment in Denmark with a willingness to challenge the collective process, the classical production process, and the intimate ritual encounter with the audience.
We will pierce the meat and cook mirror-mirrors for our audience in the borderlands between trancendensing moments and reflexive contemporary criticism in a sensuous, expressive and surreal universe. Through a ritual method of work, their interdisciplinarity meets in a search for a non-hierarchical process in which there is another agenda that applies to an individual's self-realization. > Read more here
