Blå time

BLÅ TIME is a film club at Kunsthal Charlottenborg presenting Super8 works by selected artists. The film programme is curated by Emma Rosenzweig and Albert Grøndahl, who have invited the artists Jockum Nordström, Christian Falsnæs & Daniela Brunand, Mira Winding & Sufie Elmgreen and Kirsten Justesen to participate in the second edition of BLÅ TIME. Four films all shot with the same Super8 camera. The films are unedited, and premiere at Kunsthal Charlottenborg October 5 at 8pm with afterparty at Apollo Bar.

BLÅ TIME is a returning event. Every film night presents works created from the same concept, where a number of selected artists alternately have recorded 3-5 rolls of film with the same Super8 camera. The concept functions as an artistically platform, where both Danish and international artists create a cinematic work through the same lens, which are presented at the same time to the same audience.

With the media’s analogue limits it is not possible for the artist to edit and experience the material during the process. The raw expression, the materiality of the 8mm film and the artist’s intuition are the foundation for the project’s process, duration and progress.

JOCKUM NORDSTRÖM, visual artist, b. 1963, Sweden
Jockum has shot 4 rolls of super8 and given his film, which he recorded around his cottage in Gotland, the title “Det Hule Træ”.

MIRA WINDING, visual artist, b. 1992, Denmark & SUFIE ELMGREEN b. 1992, Denmark
This is the first time the two visual artists, who are both studying at the School of Visual Arts at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, are working with super8. They have recorded a movie on Amager with the title “The Luxury of Fairytales”.

CHRISTIAN FALSNÆS, visual artist, b.1980, Denmark & DANIELA BRUNAND b. 1987, Argentina
Christian Falsnæs and Daniela Brunand have recorded a short experimental film in Berlin, where they have investigated the relationship between sound and picture.

KIRSTEN JUSTESEN, visual artist, b. 1943, Denmark
With her film Kirsten Justesen shows how time transforms human and matter, the meeting between intimacy, absence, heat and cold, the natural and the technical interrelationship, control and randomness, process and repetition.
