01.06.22 Remember When We Met

REMEMBER WHEN WE MET is the new project launched by K41 with artists and creatives around the community to converse upon concepts related to visual culture, fashion, poetry and music and transcend together the established mediums for representation and communication. During the days preceding the public events, creatives from different backgrounds are brought together to stretch the norms of their respective discipline and enrich their representations through collaboration. This process will climax to a 3 days event spanning May to July, where each day will engage performance art, words, music and visual culture to unfold the common concept: the fluid relationship between human and society, technology and media. On June 11, RWWM sets the focus on words in all forms: spoken, written, performed. K41 stages environments to host the multiplicity of these experiences. In collaboration with the creative studio pamp3000, Nørrebro based artist book collective Bladr, musicians, artists, poets and creatives, K41 blends Spoken Poetry, Jazz Improvisation, Editions and Visual Culture into a vibrant maze. The evening is dedicated to the love for sharing, that exceeds mediums and disciplines.

Eirini Parthenidou

Poem: This is a portal

Eirini Parthenidou is an architect and creative based in Copenhagen. Her interests and approach lie on the threshold of advanced concept design, new technologies and their possibilities of infusion and expansion under a multi-disciplinary and aesthetic way.

Rosso Rota

RWWM (the Silence) is an introspective monologue about the personal meeting of the author with Silence. The poem can be seen also as a dialogue with Silence itself.

The idea of having a color as a name comes from the desire to generate an unmediated first impression. Rosso's art is a reaction to the ineffable. A pre-rational take on the disarming moments of life. Something happens and we perceive it, we have no power over it, nor does this something happen for us. The astonishment is so great and deep that throw us out of the language. In this realm what we can do is art.

ALEX'S

You can't quite box-in this duo's music, with the prepared piano, live-sampling, electric guitar and heavy beats – but one thing is certain, it is made for dancing. Placed in a digital world with fragments of Anime, notes of a retro sci-fi club scene create a carpet for improvisation, where every set is a completely fresh flow.

Reevein Studios is an art & design duo based in Copenhagen. The brand was founded in 2020 by Sara Rosa Oppermann & Alice Soro Cilliara, during the first Covid-lockdown and the first collection was launched in early 2021 as a response to the fact that the flower industry is not as beautiful as it looks. Reevein Studios both create curated art installations, exhibitions, sculptures or col- lectible stems by order for privates and companies. The production is always, based on as much as possible, leftover, and reused material.

In line with the legacy of the SPN (Spoken Poetry Nights) hosted by pamp3000 at K41, the 11th of June calls for interaction and engagement and strives to create environments where we feel safe to express. Experimenting on how we can achieve this in the most creative way, we invite everyone to register online in advance and share with us a poem, a line, a word. This is their unique ticket to the event. Hoping that this word contribution will set the atmosphere for a poetic evening in the company of each other.
