“Under - Festival for Art Spaces”
Simian

f.eks. is exhibiting three episodes of S for Sound, S for Solidarity at Simian as part of the group exhibition and festival for Art Spaces Under.

Under is a hybrid format, combining exhibition and social space, with performances, panel discussions and concerts. It seeks, if only for a moment, to capture an art scene and to present visitors with some of the many elements that constitute the artworld. Under is shaped by a curatorial strategy that places strong emphasis on co-authorship, collaboration, and community. Under is a fragment of a larger scene. Within Simian’s space, it manifests as a gathering of gestures, objects, and social encounters - together unfolding a story of a transgressive, diverse, and ever-changing art scene.

Under is co-curated by Fafaya Mogensen and Nikolaj Stobbe in collaboration with Simian. The exhibition is kindly supported by 15. Juni Foundation, Amager Vest Lokaludvalg, Fondet for Dansk-Svensk Samarbejde, PASS (Center for Practice-based Art Studies), Restaurant Babylon, Rådet for Visuel Kunst and the Danish Arts Foundation.
