FROM STAR TO DUST - interventions in urban spaces

For VAF 2023 Visuel HF’s 1st year will be animating in colored sand during a five-day workshop with interdisciplinary artist Signe Klejs.

Workshop at seven public locations in the center of Viborg – Mon-Fri at 9 – 15. The works can be experienced around the clock – also after the workshop.

Many people might know Signe Klejs’s light installations on the bridges in Bjerringbro and Aarhus, but at the same time Klejs has over the years created a number of ephemeral works in colored sand – among others for the art museum Brandts in Odense and in the coming six months for the art museum ARoS in Aarhus. See Signe’s previous installations and screen-based works here: www.signeklejs.dk.

Based on the same technique, Visuel HF’s young talents now have the opportunity to make their mark in colored sand and thus add a changing narrative to the selected locations. Common to the works by the students is that they undergo change over time, because even though the material is heavy and sturdy, the patterns in which the young people arrange it are fragile to influences by weather and people passing by. Exactly these entropic, random conditions in the system are investigated in the workshop during VAF.
