Elephant in the Room + Planet City

I anledningen af den nye arkitektskoles åbning på Exners Plads 7 har vi allieret os med Arkitektskolen Aarhus om at kuratere en serie af filmvisninger under skolens åbent hus arrangement lørdag den 9. oktober 2021 i tidsrummet 11.00-18.00. Visningerne finder sted i Didakteket, og alle arrangementerne er gratis, bare mød op.

Planet City

ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

Design Earth | 2021 | 6 min. | engelsk

I samarbejde med den nye arkitektskole kickstarter vi lørdagens åbenthus arrangement med en række filmvisninger. Første film på programmet er kortfilmen ‘Elephant in the Room’ af Design Earth, en økofeministisk fabel om klimakrisen, fortalt i rytmiske vers af Donna Haraway. Filmen adresserer elefanten i rummet - klimakrisen - ved at fortælle historien om en elefant, der tager handling.

Design Earth

Design Earth is led by Rania Ghosn (Lebanon, b. 1977) and El Hadi Jazairy (Algeria, b.1970) and based in Cambridge, MA and Ann Arbor, MI. The design research practice engages the speculative architectural project as medium for making visible and public the geographies of the climate crisis. Their work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, including commissions for Biennale Architettura (Main Exhibition, 2021; US Pavilion, 2018; Kuwait Pavilion, 2016), Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism (2017), Oslo Architecture Triennale (2016); and shows at La Triennale Di Milano, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Matadero Madrid; Sursock Museum, Beirut; Times Museum, Guangzhou, and the New York Museum of Modern Art. The work of DESIGN EARTH is recognized by the NY Architectural League, Boghossian Foundation and Graham Foundation, amongst other honors. They are authors of Geographies of Trash (2015), Geostories: Another Architecture for the Environment (2nd. edition 2020; 2018)and The Planet After Geoengineering (2021).  


PLANET CITY

Liam Young | 2020 | 15 min. | engelsk

Liam Youngs svar på klimakrisen gennem performativ science fiction fortællinger

Efter århundreders kolonisering, globalisering og uendelig økonomisk ekstraktion har vi ændret på verden på en skala fra de mindste levende celler til de tektoniske plader. I denne film og historiefortællings-performance med Liam Young tager vi på en science fiction safari gennem 'Planet City' - en imaginær by for hele jordens befolkning på 10 milliarder mennesker, hvor resten af ​​jordkloden er overladt til naturens egen gang. I stærk kontrast til nationalstaternes konsekvente fiasko i forsøgene på at handle på en meningsfuld måde mod klimaændringer kommer ‘Planet City’ ud af en global borger konsensus, baseret på et frivilligt og multi-generationelt tilbagetog fra vores store netværk af byer og indviklede forsyningskæder til en hyper-tæt metropol.

Liam Young – “Manden, der designer vores fremtid”

Traditionen tro inviterer festivalen årligt en udvalgt gæst til at tilrettelægge et filmprogram af særlig betydning for personens liv og praksis. I år er stafetten gået til arkitekt og filminstruktør Liam Young, der arbejder i krydsfeltet mellem design, fiktion og fremtid. Han er medgrundlægger af ‘Tomorrow’s Thoughts Today’, en tænketank for urbane fremtider, der undersøger de lokale og globale implikationer ved nye teknologier og det endnu ukendte.

BBC har beskrevet Liam Young som “manden, der designer vores fremtid”, og hans visionære film og spekulative verdener er både ekstraordinære billeder af morgendagens tilstande og presserende undersøgelser af de enorme klima- og miljørelaterede spørgsmål, vi står over for i dag. Hans arbejde har bl.a. resulteret i filmen Planet City, som Liam Young viser og præsenterer på årets festival. Hans arbejder er repræsenteret i samlinger på MoMA, the Met, the Victoria and Albert Museum m.fl., og han har haft gæsteprofessorater på bl.a. Princeton University, MIT og Cambridge.


Udover hans egen film ‘Planet City’ viser vi også filmene ‘Baraka’, ‘Nausicaä’ og ‘Arrival’ - alle udvalgt af Liam Young. Tidligere gæstekuratorer på festivalen tæller folk som Bjarke Ingels x Martin de Thurah, Dorte Mandrup, Tatiana Bilbao, Niels Bjørn, Dan Stubbergaard x Henrik Vibskov, Anupama Kundoo.
