According to Comanche author Paul Chaat Smith, mainstream images of the “Indian” conjures “a half-remembered presence, both comforting and dangerous, lurking just below the surface.” In this interview, artist and filmmaker Adam Khalil lets the half-remembered presence out by engaging with themes ranging from the temporal double binds of Indigeneity, Christopher Columbus as the first vampire in the “New World,” and the public secret society New Red Order. Christian Lund talks to Khalil about his collaborative projects, and Naja Dyrendom Graugaard contributes with a poetic reflection on racial stereotyping in the Danish school system.

The Interview series is based on conversations with artists who have been residents at AHC. Together with an interviewer and guests, the artists present their work in words and images: not just one work or one show, but their current processes, thoughts, and daily challenges.

In this publication, Mia Edelgart talks about her recent works and engages with subjects such as stupidity, vulnerability, slowness, and collective ways of thinking and working. The two guest voices of Mai Corlin Frederiksen and Deirdre Johanna Humphrys infiltrate and discuss Edelgart’s approach and process.
The interview was conducted as an email conversation during the summer of 2021.

Kasper Hesselbjerg’s work is centered on three fundamentals: sculpture, text and – last but not least – food. In this publication, Hesselbjerg connects the dots between sculpture, collage, language, and the umami in his art.

Steffen Jørgensen gets frank about his methods in painting and animation, and he touches base on conspiracy theory, the art world, cooking – and is cornered in a discussion about pigs. Jørgensen’s collaborative partner Will Benedict, with whom he created the digital animation The Restaurant, joins the fray with several absurd questions.

Karen Barad – feminist, philosopher, and particle physicist – has, since the turn of the millennium, created a rare and refreshing contribution to contemporary thought. In 2021, they held an online lecture at AHC in connection with Lea Porsagers exhibition STRIPPED at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. Following this, we are publishing Nature’s Queer Performativity, which is the first translation of Barad into Danish. In the essay, Barad discusses queer ontologies and the ethical obligation towards non/humans, arguing that nature is fundamentally queer – crisscrossed and in the most wonderfully perverse way.

“How can one think about the possibility of queerness in one of the most common of all beings – atoms? These ‘ultraqueer’ beings – with their quantum-everyday properties – queer the very idea of queerness in their radically deconstructive ways of being. The aim is to show that all sorts of seemingly impossibilities are actually possible, including queerness in causality, matter, time, and space,” from Nature’s Queer Performativity.

“Science is a tool to think with, just like art…” This publication contains transcriptions of conversations between the artist Alexandra Hunts and Charles M. Marcus, professor in Condensed Matter Physics at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. Roland Barthes famously wrote: “Interdisciplinarity consists in creating a new object that belongs to no one.” This epistemological homelessness echoes through both Hunts’ and Marcus’s immigrant condition, and the histories of 20th-century art and science.

In this book, Vala T. Foltyn―artist, cheoreographer, and witch―weaves together ghosts and other presences that have passed through Szwedzka 8, a century-old villa in Kraków whose history is a testimony to queer love and resistance. A powerful meditation on the silencing, loss, and mourning, Foltyn’s text taskes the reader beyond the local to times and spaces of magic and transformation in a communing with the living and the dead.

CAFE ZERO – a nomadic smoke and fermentation house with no seasons is a performance by Søren Aagaard commissioned by Art Hub Copenhagen for Performa Biennial 2023. The performance is a long-form theatrical sci-fi cooking that gels into a dining experience. A pop-up restaurant with a hot and a cold tent inhabited by a group of five nomadic chefs – performed by Jackie Gordon, Scott Alves Barton, Erica Wides, Markus Oxelman, and Aagaard himself. While preparing the dinner the group of chefs entangle in a long staccato ping-pong discussing the menu, banter, break into song, share recipes as well as thoughts on inhaling microbes and the unpredictable seasons.

PROTECT THE SALMON is a play by Ida Marie Hede, commissioned for the exhibition iwillmedievalfutureyou2. In a neutral scenography, two characters, a man and a woman, are talking to each other. The two are employed at a cryonics clinic, and are surrounded by both the dormant bodies of the past and the abstract possibility of future life. As time- and space travelers, they take turns telling each other anecdotes and memories, and recounting intimate situations from their lives, trying to understand our current, past, and future societies.
