Kurator Kitt Johnson About Mellemrum
We
have reached the fourth
Mellemrum festival, which every
other year subjects a section
of the urban landscape to a
performative interpretation.
In 2008 the city centre supplied
the asphalt. In 2010, Nørrebro, and in 2012, Vesterbro.

MELLEMRUM is
now confronted with a different type of urban structure, namely the klondike of
the city fringe. The tour in May 2014 has come to Sydhavnen (the south
harbour), as Kgs. Enghave is also called: A sparsely populated area, the
borders of which are still up for negotiation.
Nine
artists/-groups each give their own interpretation of
a personally selected site in Sydhavnen
20 locals take part.
And three urban tours are created.

Seimi on the sitespecifik
"Such a lovely place, which plucks the heartstrings, with
neighbours and reality to dance with. It is true ground we tread upon, branches
we push aside, asphalt we scrape our knees upon. It is water dripping from the
sky, infinitely vast above us. I am very fond of reality. Even if it scares me
a little."
