We warmly invite you to join us for a performance by AHC artist-in-residence Bartek Arobal Kociemba with live sound scaping by musician and composer Stefan Weglowski on 20 June, 7.00-9.30, at Containerakademiet.
From a wooden structure, a collection of drawn and painted textiles sway. The motifs drawn on the surfaces are created by repetitive rhythmical multilayered linear depictions of weeds and other "traveling plants" that found new home outside of their place of origin. The structure, designed by architect and designer, Mikkel Nielsen, explores the feelings of being in and out, and forms a pathway inside the installation that guides the audience. Traveling together in synchronization and against the tide, as an individual lost in a crowd and a spontaneous unified multi-being. All at the same time, one leading to another.
The performance will happen in- and around the installation as a group ritual, a guided movement aiming to dissolve the audience into the artwork, and thus further explore the sense of belonging and togetherness.
The performance will be followed by a conversation with Bartek Arobal Kociemba aiming to draw out some of the material and conceptual elements of the installation and performance.

BARTEK AROBAL KOCIEMBABartek Arobal Kociemba is Copenhagen-based Polish visual artist, spiritual teacher, and co-founder of artist-run VLP Gallery. Studied Political Science and Philosophy. Self-taught, he works with drawing, mixed media, installation, performance, and ritual. Mentee of a renown curator Aneta Szylak. He recently exhibited at the MOMA Warsaw and Supermarket Art Fair.
In his work, he seeks a common root for botanical, animalistic, and sensual motifs of otherness from the perspective of an uprooted migrant and a meditating seeker, where what's visible and invisible are equal. His initiatives, including Queer Meditations, supported by LGBT+ Denmark, showcase spiritual and communal influences. At the VLP Gallery, he cultivates diverse dialogues, uniting creators from varied backgrounds, reclaiming and redefining the old saying "At leve på polsk" into a manifesto of mutual support beyond privilege.

He oscillates between genres such as ambient, noize, drone and experimental music. In his work he seeks connections between timbre, sound intensity, and its processing through new technologies and actions in space.
