The conversation is in English
In the interview salon, Bikubenfonden zooms in on a single or two artists’ practice, with a focus on the artist’s/artists’ promising and innovative approach to art. Typically, the artist is currently making exhibitions or performances and has distinguished her/himself as being groundbreaking and innovative in the span of a short time. The interview salon is a “close-up study” and offers an investigative insight into the artist’s specific practice and potentials: an oeuvre-interview as well as a close-to-the-subject interview. The artist chooses her/his own interview partner in this conversational format.
Kunstsalon VISION is Bikubenfonden’s conversational format in the field of art.
In collaboration with Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Bikubenfonden is extending an invitation to Kunstsalon VISION, where visual artist Linda Lamignan will be meeting with Cédric Fauq, Chief Curator at Capc – Musée d’Art Contemporain de Bordeaux, for a conversation about Lindas practice This conversation will be taking place from 1.30 to 2.30 P.M in the screening room at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, on Friday, December 10.
Linda Lamignan has been singled out for Bikubenfonden’s Artistic Practice program for particularly promising artistic practices. The aim of the interview salon, which is one aspect of the program, is to examine one Danish artist’s singular approach to art and the potential that is seated within this. In connection with the interview salons, it is the artists themselves who choose their interview partners.
About Linda Lamignan
The works of visual and performance artist Linda Lamignan convey the sensation of being alien and of floating between dissimilar worlds. Through video, music, objects and performance, Lamignan explores notions related to wandering and diaspora, transformation and love. Taking an animistic approach, they are working with materials that are associated with industries in West Africa and Scandinavia. And by conjoining the history of these materials/raw articles to bodies with comparable experiences, Lamignan seeks to visualize new alternative frames of mind.
