Curator tour and catalogue launch

Join a guided tour on Saturday 10 August at 2 pm of the solo exhibition ‘Servitudes’ of internationally renowned artist Jesper Just. Curator Irene Campolmi will guide you through the exhibition, a spatial installation, which disrupts the visitor’s experience to question the ideas of agency and passivity that permeate social interactions in contemporary society. The guided tour is in English, and you can experience it by purchasing a normal entrance ticket to Kunsthal Charlottenborg.

The guided tour is followed at 3 pm by Jesper Just’s book launch ’Jesper Just – Servitudes. Circuits. Interpassivities’, which for the first time documents the artist’s live performances from 2005 to 2019.

The book editor, Irene Campolmi and book’s contributors Marianne Torp and Michael Thouber will be in conversation in connection to the book’s launch.

The book features contributions by RoseLee Goldberg, Founder and Director of Performa NY; André Lepecki, professor and chair of the Department of Performance Studies at
New York University; Fatoş Üstek, Director of the Liverpool Biennial; Andrew Berardini, L.A. based writer; Irene Campolmi, curator and editor of the book; Michael Thouber, director of Kunsthal Charlottenborg and Marianne Torp, senior research curator at SMK – The National Gallery of Denmark. The book is published by Mousse Publishing, and the essays investigate and reflect on Just’s performances and on the performative dimensions of his total installations.

Jesper Just ‘Servitudes’ is on view at Kunsthal Charlottenborg until 11 August 2019. Further info about the exhibition here.
