Ved Pejsen- Helge Refn, RønholtKurz, Benjamin Saurer


is an exhibition that only exists on photos and was staged on a sunny weekend in the month of October in the outskirts of Copenhagen. The setting is the historic villa designed and built by theater painter Helge Refn (1908-1985). Refn‘s house including his artworks, set and costume designs,posters and sculptures and architecture are the first ingredient of this project. The focus is set on the fireplace which originated in one of Refns set designs and which is surrounded in this presentstion by a rethought version of the Black Forest chair designed by artistarchitect duo RønholtKurz, who started to explore the undefined matter that can be found between art and architecture. The Black Forest chair is a continuation of their collaborative projects with danish wood company Dinesen. There is also music involved, preformed and recorded by German artist Benjamin Saurer (b. 1977) in the birth church of Bridget of Sweden in Uppland. Bridget which formed the Order of the Most Holy Saviour/ OSsS also known as the Bridgettines. As there are limitations to include own music into a post I accompany the project through a set of stories which include Saurer‘s audiofiles.
