fra "Hverdagen: Verdens kedeligste forestilling".
Her er et tilbagekik på vores performance for børn fra 2024, der handler om "hvordan gentagelse og små handlinger kan blive til kunst" (som det hedder i Alison Knowles udstillingen i @nikolajkunsthal )
Vi fortæller om vores sko, shuffler gulvvask, synger hver vores sang i fællesskab - i omkring 25 kendte værker af Alison Knowles, Yoko Ono, Martha Rosler, Marina Abramovic, Mierle Laderman Ukules, Bobby Baker, Kirsten Justesen, osv som opføres i fællesskab med publikum.
Værket er skabt i samarbejde med @kunsthal6100 og @kunsthal_nord og og @kunsthalmors med støtte fra @statenskunstfond
Det er nr 3 i en trilogi for børn, der alle bygger på event scores og historiske værker af kunstnere fra 1950 og frem. Trilogiens værker har tilsammen været vist tæt på 500 gange i Danmark, Tyskland, England, Norge, Sverige, Finland, Italien...
Børnene er optaget med tilladelse fra deres forældre.

Come by Ulla Hvejsel’s exhibition this Saturday 13.00 to 17.00 and take the piss out of capitalism literally! There is a shop where you can pay for items with your pee. Among the items for sale are “pee-shirts,” that have been dyed (or at least attempted dyed) using old techniques involving urine; a newly developed board game designed to help us talk about all the shit we have to deal with; a specially locally produced fertilizer; a type of urine pregnancy test dating all the way back to ancient Egypt; and much more.
12.May 2026: Vernissage for "Den Nye Skole" (The New School):
A project by @johnhuntington_artist and 5V from Sankt Ansgars Skole, where the children were invited to reimagine school as an institution. What kind of teachers, subjects and physical surroundings would a new kind of school have?
The New School will reappear as a performative installation in @dokk1aarhus during our Live Art for Kids 2026 festival, which takes it´s theme from the five foremost sociopolitical challenges of Aarhus Municipality.
#kipistudios Ulla Hvejsel in Malmö 9th of May- 6th of June2026 curated by Live Art Denmark
Events
May 9 16:00–20:00

May 16, 13:00–17:00
The shop is open for business.
May 23 13:00–17:00
The shop is open—and at 15:00, we’ll playfully work our way through digestion together in a game about processing words and images, helping all the crap we’re dealing with move smoothly through the system without any sour aftertaste. The game, developed for the exhibition, is called Skitsnack (“shit chat”), and the winner gets to keep all the pee collected during the game—and spend it in the shop.
May 30 13:00–17:00
The shop is open—and at 15:00, the artist will present a newly developed performance, airing their dirty laundry and taking the audience on a journey through archaeological and apocryphal tales about the use of urine for everything from detergent to teeth whitening and beyond.
June 6 13:00–17:00
The shop is open—and at 15:00, the performance Let It Go by Ulla Hvejsel and Mie Frederikke Fischer Christensen will be shown. It deals with birth, family, writing your name in the snow with pee, bodily meltdown, injustices in the bathroom, letting go and bouncing on a trampoline until you wet your pants.
Visit the exhibition May 9th- June 6th - new events and open shop every Saturday, where you can pay with your pee. See the detailed program in #kipistudios homepage.

If you feel like you “don’t have a pot to piss in”you should swing by the exhibition “Pissig Kapitalism” at Kipi Konsthall. Here, the artist offers you a pot to piss in—as well as a good deal—in a shop where you can pay with your pee.
Among the items for sale are “pee-shirts,” that have been dyed (or at least attempted dyed) using old techniques involving urine; a newly developed board game designed to help us talk about all the shit we have to deal with; a specially locally produced fertilizer; a type of urine pregnancy test dating all the way back to ancient Egypt; and much more.
There’s also the option to “exchange currency” by talking a drink in the exhibition and then wait for it to pass through you system. It’s a slightly slower transaction than at your average bank, but while you wait, you can browse the goods and soak up the exhibition’s free stories about piss, crap, and value—across culture, history, past, present, and future.

May 9th 4–8 PM: Opening reception—get your “pee card” where you can save up toward a specific item.

🎤 Victor, who was on the first row last Friday, is not only an artist and a poet, but also an engineer. It’s always a great joy to have him in the audience. And it’s practical, because when Victor laughs — everyone laughs! 🎪
Warm thanks to everyone who came, and to @liveart.dk for hosting.
📌 Upcoming performances: Stubbekøbing 24 April, Berlin 14 May, Copenhagen 3 June. 📌
Driving the Doubts Away — an info comedy.
🎤 I’ve got the best job in the world. This photograph is taken at 2.30 in the morning, after my Friday performance of Driving the Doubts Away at @liveart.dk . I had by then been awake for 22 hours. ⏱
⏰ I didn’t really have any reason to get up at 4.30 the morning before, since most of the preparations were already done. But I was like a child at Christmas, very excited — and it was impossible to continue to sleep. So, I took the early morning as an opportunity to rehearse my script one more time. 💫
🔍 Performing is precision work, and with lack of sleep there’s a much bigger risk of forgetting my lines. But luckily, on Friday things worked out well. I only changed the order of a couple of sentences, and missed a word or two. 🔎
🎸 However, when it was time to play the final song, I was completely exhausted. My brain-body-coordinator would only let me play the guitar with great difficulty, although it’s a song with super-easy chords. 🎼
📌 Note to self: I should have taken an afternoon nap. 📌
🔥 But in spite of that last guitar glitchiness, it was an absolutely wonderful night. The audience was fantastic. And as I was walking home, along the Copenhagen lakes, I was thinking: I’ve got the best job in the world. 🔥
❤️ Thank you to everyone who came, and to @liveart.dk for hosting. ❤️
OLOF OLSSON - performance lecture friday 20.3.26 from 8 PM! Entrance: 100DKK includes two G&Ts!
Why do people hate performance art?
What is the difference between high culture and low culture?
How do jokes work?
An info comedy consists of 40% information, 30% comedy, 20% autobiography, and 10% melodrama.
Throwing light on the main plot are digressions on Valhalla, Mars bars, billionaires, Austrian wine, free coffee, and much more.
