Samtalekøkkenet is the forum for performative art in Denmark. At each Samtalekøkken we present and discuss a danish and a foreign performative artist and their recent productions and contrast them with each other. All discussions are with the audience. A reviewer from the media will be present and we will discuss how art is discussed in Denmark. Should a review analyze the artists intentions, choices and methods? Or should the review express a sensual experience of an art product? What is the purpose of a review: Should it be an advertisement? Or should it attempt to educate? If you have a performative work around one of the 8 Samtalekøkken nights in 2012 and if you would like to show it and have it reviewed; please contact us. If you are working with an exciting foreign artist in Denmark, who would be interested in giving a presentation; do not hesitate to contact us. Samtalekøkkenet takes place nearly once a month in Copenhagen. Each Samtalekøkken includes a common meal and is free of charge.

Samtalekøkkenet

In Danish culture, Samtalekøkkenet means having a good conversation and a drink with friends around the kitchen table. We want to create a space where people can drop in, sit around and talk.

Samtalekøkkenet is hosted by Ellen and Henrik Vestergaard Friis, who have organised 15 Samtalekøkkener since 2010. It is a platform, which introduces performance artists to the wider audience in Denmark.

We find interesting and appropriate venues for each event, from the small and intimate gallery space to clubs, museums and factories. For each evening, we invite critics to talk and artists to present themselves, show a short performance or a work in progress. Samtalekøkkenet aims to engage our guests in a discussion and exchange of ideas. We want the critical discourse to influence the development of new works by artists.

I 2012, we will make 3 "Take Out" version of our Samtalekøkken at IETM Copenhagen, MPA in Berlin and ACTS in Roskilde.

Samtalekøkkenet is an activity under Liveart.dk, an organisation dedicated to promoting performance art, which was founded by Paw Petersen, Ellen and Henrik Vestergaard Friis in 2004. Liveart.dk wants to give the Danish society international stimulation and break down the walls between performing arts and visual arts. Previous events in Copenhagen include 15 Samtalekøkkener in 2010, 2011 and 2012, the 4 “Berliner Luft” festivals from 2004-2009, "Mem Bilbao" at Kaleidoscope Theatre, "Looking for Johnny" on the Stubnitz ferry and “Open Source Theater”.

Comment by Henrik Vestergaard Friis on November 26, 2010 at 4:34am: Trien Rosses anmeldelse af manden, der før hed Claus Beck-Nielsen. Anmeldelsen er nedskrevet og bearbejdet på baggrund af den anmeldelse Trine lavede på det andet Samtalekøkken.

Anmeldelsen starter således:
Det ku’ vær’ så godt, men så det faktisk ... “skidt” er måske så meget sagt, men uforløst, potentialet til trods, og til tider endda direkte irriterende, fordi hele ‘Funus Imaginarium’ projektet, udført af manden, der før hed Claus Beck-Nielsen, men som nu insisterer på at manden af det navn er død, er så forfærdelig krukket.
Ind imellem er det også bare ulogisk, for faktisk “døde” Claus Beck-Nielsen allerede i 2001, men i efteråret 2010 lå han (i form af en dukke) altså på sit dødsleje foran Glyptoteket, hvor han så 7. oktober (igen) blev erklæret død. Derefter fulgte forsøg på at indrykke en dødsannonce i Politiken (hvilket blev afvist som “usmageligt”), ballade om genopgravningen af kisten på Assistens Kirkegård (der dog mente at have haft en klar aftale om, at kisten kun kunne blive i jorden tre dage), samt problemer med en afstøbning af dødedukken, der åbenbart blev mistænkt for at være (endnu) en Muhammedkarikatur i Cairo.
