17 Mørkevandring: Mellemtrint, omtrent
- Mikkel Carlsen
Join us! We will meet at Sognsvann Station on January 25th at 19:00 and walk together through the winter darkness to the exhibition site. There, Mikkel Carlsen will have installed a series of sculptures that cast a new light on the old iron mine and the surrounding snowy landscape.
About the exhibition "Mellemtrint, omtrent" by Mikkel Carlsen:
The exhibition explores time, devotion, and longing. Through sculpture and text, conveyed from the perspective of a ghostly figure, it delves into the gap between nostalgic memories and dystopian visions of the future. Through the walk and the artworks, the exhibition invites a dark and quiet reflection on the paradoxes that shape nature, humanity, and society.

16 Aglais Urticae: Bladhjem
- Gry Stokkendahl Dalgas
Aglais
urticae is a long-term book project involving several authors, artists,
and species. The book or poetry collection orbits the lifecycle of the
butterfly Aglais urticae on which the book is materially dependent.
When
a butterfly is just hatched from its chrysalis it secretes one red
drop, called meconium. Every year I harvest a few of these drops for
this project. These meconium drops are then turned into ink for poems to
be written with. Each year a new artist or poet will be chosen to
create a poem or text-based piece with the ink made in the current year.
The poetry collection will conclude in 2030.
Next Saturday
the finished poem from 2024 will be buried at the same place the
caterpillars were found; Hauketo, Oslo. The author Gry Stokkendahl Dalgas will read up from her poem
‘Bladhjem’ before we bury it. By this act, we end this year-cycle
by fertilizing the soil for the next.

15 Høst - Water Bodies & Landforms
The event will take place at the beach Trekanten in Hundested, located at Halsnæs in North Sealand. The event is part of the project Høst –a collaboration between the artist Amalie Vestergaard Olsen and Sarah Sikorie.
At the beach, Amalie will show a series of sculptures made in steel and shaped like half cogwheels and Sarah will collect sloe berries for a future brew.
This event aims to inspire the audience by embracing the sudden dysfunction of the cogwheel, using the autumn transition as an opportunity for rest and reflection.
Drawing on ideas of creating new and more balanced constellations between humans and nature, Amalie has invited dancers Frederikke Hooge and Theresa Carlsen to activate the sculptures through a performative ritual. The local Badeklubben Trekanten will also participate, inviting the audience to jump into the waves together.31.08.2024

14 Vandrestaven take-over at Ovenpå
In February and March 2024, Vandrestaven took over the premises of Ovenpå and Arnestedet at Vesterbro, Copenhagen. Together, we hosted a collective residency for all those involved in developing projects that would later become Vandrestaven events. By hosting open workshops, test exhibitions, and events, we explored our various projects and got to know each other's artistic practices.

13 Mørkevandring: PARA - Sarah Sikorie
The
exhibition PARA consists of a series of sculptures, including ones in
snow, and a performance. The sculptures explore pre-Christian goddesses,
such as Skade, Gjalp, and Hel, and how they represent something
different from the gender roles we see today. The performance showcases
kulning or kulokk, a vocal technique that, since the Middle Ages, has
been used by shepherdesses in their work, especially with cows and
goats.

10 Mørkevandring: Lek er ikke en luksus
Play is often
seen as an superfluous and childish activity, even though it is when we
relate to the world in a playful and creative way, that we get new
ideas and solutions to conflicts in our lives. Both if you are a child
or an adult. It is when we play we are learning what works for us and
what doesn´t. In other words, it is by playing we get acquainted with
ourselves and our surroundings.
In this moment of time many describe
the world as being too big and complicated. It is too many details and
they don´t fit in the boxes we used to put things in to see coherence.
The boxes are overflowing and cannot hold the new situation anymore, so
maybe the right thing to do now, is to loosen up and spend some time
playing, move things around and build something yourself?

09 Vise til de søvnløse og andre trætte sjæle - Amalie Vestergaard Olsen
Maridalen is
today a protected area, but once this area layed ground to many proto-
industrial companies like the charcoal kilns. In these kilns the coal
workers (or kulsvierne) worked and produced charcoal for the ironworks
in the area. At many places around Maridalen the forest floor still
contains hidden traces of the now 400 years old charcoal kilns.
Through
installation and performance the exhibition, Ballad to the Sleepless
and Other Tired Souls, aims to build a connection to the past life of
this landscape. The Swedish poet Dan Andersson in 1914 wrote the book
Kolarhistorier (Charcoal stories) about the workers' life and
conditions. Many of his stories contain supernatural and mysterious
events in the forest. With inspiration from Anderssons texts
Therese-Angelle Khachik will perform a hymn to the charcoal workers and
the landscape which created them.

08 Mørkevandring: Tvelys - Naturkoret
Naturkoret
will in their performance Tvelys interact with the fictional fabric
of the bat as a mythological entity. As magical people, they will
through song and shrieks pendulate between feelings of yearning and
scare, as well as attempting an empathetic reach towards the bats living
in Gaustad Gruve.
Naturkoret is a performative platform, wherein
choristers continuously adapt and process their relationship with and
concept of nature, through acts of song, tech, magic and movement.

07 Phantom
Roots - Filip Vest
Phantom
Roots is a performance and installation by the artist Filip Vest taking
you on a journey in and outside the urban garden and cultural
institution, Losæter. The work addresses the relationship between humans
and plants. It is a story about interdependency and loneliness, about
growing, longing, and being homesick. It revolves around a lonely
gardener and a group of walking plants, ”the potted plant people”, that
have come into being through a series of mysterious incidents and now
inhabit the spaces as they reproduce themselves and make plan(t)s. The
function of flower pots, to make plants mobile, are taken to an extreme
as the plant people start walking and detach themselves from the
collective mind (of the ground). But independence comes with a price...

06 Tools for Two - DUODUO
DuoDuo is a
collaborative project by Asta Tutavae Iversen and Humle Rosenkvist. Our
collaboration started in 2017 and we have been exploring the act of
sharing since.
In our works we use seriousness and scepticism as
much as we use humour and play to elaborate new alternative sharing
ideologies. In a time where we become more and more individualised, the
romanticised idea of twosomeness is very present in our works.

under Akershus fortress, which can be entered right by Myntgata 2. What
happens when the work day is over? Deep underground something starts
speaking. Every day begins and ends with the same, enveloped in sheets
and duvet, battery empty or charged, we run to work to be able to repeat
it tomorrow.

03 Mørkevandring: The Walls Resonate with a Haunting Double - Erle Saxegaard
Can the resonance of an
object be understood as the life of the thing? Is it possible for
humans to communicate with objects through sound and resonance? By
laughing, talking or yelling, one's voice sometimes hits the right
frequency that makes the walls or objects around them vibrate. As an
answer to a question. Resonance is like the haunting ecco of the things.
The Dark Walk starts at Sognsvann st.and goes to
Gaustad gruve. When we reach the old
mine Erle Saxegaard will play a version of her soundpiece The walls
Resonate with a Haunting Double. A soundwork based on sounds sampled in
the iron mine of Sognsvann.

02 Melketann - Vilde Jensen
We invite you to eat the sun with droplets of blood and fill the darkness with porridge.
Rituals
are both an interruption in everyday life and a place one can visit
again and again. Often I use elements connected to rites of passage,
like a meal or a bath, as a starting point. I use these situations to
create a story in which the viewer becomes an active part of the piece.
Myths and fairytales connected to everyday objects as plants or cups,
gives me the possibility to move these objects into a fictitious
universe where everything is possible. When time rushes by and I feel
like I can’t follow due to a chaos inside of me, I look toward the
constant or infinite. We follow the sun, the year and the body which
allows for encounters between people.
