HELLO COPENHAGEN

IT University, head entrance, Rued Langgaards Vej 7, Ørestad Show map

19:00 – 20:30 // No entrance fee

Fall has come and the darkness with it. I say, why not exploit the darkness instead of mourning the light of summer?
This is exactly what Guerrilla Lighting is about; cutting through darkness with numerous colors, making the night appear as your allie.
The installation is a living piece and only appears when you do. This practically means that the 50 people (maybe you included?) are handed a flashlight and together light up a building and create a temporary light installation.

Show up at the head entrance of the university and take a tour around the exhibition.

If you want to be a part of the installation, you can volunteer at www.lysetsdag.dk

NY TAP (Carlsberg), Pasteursvej 54, Copenhagen V Show map

16:30-19:30 // 50 Dkk (free entrance until 19:30)

Go to Ny Tap at Carlsberg and experience the first project from Wunderkammer.

The entire space in the building is transformed into a scenario which is likely to bring your thoughts back to a surreal scene from a 1950s ‘Drive In’ movie.

Wunderkammer is an artistic initiative that attempts to create platforms for artists from all disciplines interested in incorporating their work into live-events. So you can expect micro performance installations thorughout the evening.
Program:
16.30: Luke Cooper, co-founder of Wunderkammer, talks about working with public-absorbing performances as part of the city’s development.
17.30: Take a look at some of the other creative workshops in Ny Tap
18.30: Talk at the ‘drive in’ bar
19.30: Show of the evening (a mix of acrobats, film, visuals and sound)

The show runs until Nov 13 but what’s special about the two specific days is that you’re invited behind the scenes of the show and the Ny Tap building so go and have a sneak peek.

Go check out a good selection of Denmark’s unestablished and uncensored young contemporary artists at Galore. The days will be filled with both painting, installation, street art, drawings, experimental music and film screenings.

Activities will take place both inside, outside, up, down and in every possible corner. At Toftegårds Plads you can also participate in workshops: Thursday and Friday, you can redesign your furniture and Saturday, come pimp your bike.

This is the third time Galore takes place and this year about 100 artists are participating. Experience for instance the graffiti and street art collective called The Nom Nom Collective, which among others include the Danish street artists Lints.

Galore is organized by Kraftwerket – a platform run by Copenhagen Municipality for young people to play with art, culture and democracy.

As many of you might have heard the Little Mermaid is away on a business kind of vacation in Shanghai, further understood she’s hanging out in the Danish Pavilion during the EXPO2010.

But fear not – The Little Mermaid Temp Agency invites you to help fill out the void while she’s away so this is your chance to live out the mermaid/merman dream for exactly 15 minutes (from a better view).

And the instructions are simple because there are no! So how you wish to spend your precious temp period on the ‘temp rock’ is completely up to you.

Just follow the link below for further info and booking of a temp period and send an email to booking@500mermaids.dk.

Afterwards you can definitely show off as all temporary mermaids will be honored with their very own certificate including a portrait issued by the Little Mermaid Temp Agency – not bad!

Friday 18:00 – Sunday 01:00 // 100-300 Dkk (depending on pass)

Once again it’s time for the annual celebration of art and music put together in one big lovely package of genuine respect for the artists who dare to challenge.

The Trailerpark festival organized and produced by Artrebels is already known for its charming ability to master the difficult art of balancing between experimental artistic expressions and music and dj features.

So sit tight and enjoy sweetness from Danish artists like Vinnie Who, Fallulah and Chimes & Bells, Prinzhorn Danceschool from UK or German djs like DJ Hell and Krause Duo among others.

With a mixed constellation of both Copenhagener and international artists the Artrebels crew will show you that vibrant and colorful expression has much to say.

Are colors the new black? Decide for yourself during the last weekend of July. We look forward to say hello to all of you!

If you are into digital art and music and the use of new media, then visit Re-New to see what potentials and limitations there are in the interaction between man and machine. It is entertaining, fun and weird – just as we like it!

This geeky experimentarium is a niche of art operating in the field between play, art and research. You can meet artists, programmers and djs which have all contributed to the festival.

Live-acts includes names such as Mikkel Meyer and the duo Manzolli and Traldi, who will perform a concert from sensory movements with their hands.
