About Tårnby Park Studio 

Since 2017, performance artist Andreas Liebmann has explored diverse festival formats, performances, performance nights, movies, debates, and various institutional frameworks in Tårnby with a growing network of artists and local citizens.

He has invited citizens and other artists to exchange, create, and debate. He has centered his and many collaborators’ work around two festivals and rehearsal facilities in the old grocery center “Tårnby Torv” (2017-2019). Later, he utilized the former and now renovated “Bank Nordik” in Tårnby for performance nights and rehearsals (Nov 2019-2020).

Currently, within a social housing area and in collaboration with the local housing organization “Tårnbyhuse,” he has launched Tårnby Park Studio in a former basement. This project is the result of artistic research funded by the Ministry of Culture and supported by the National Danish School of Performing Arts (2020/2021).

Tårnby Park Studio is intended to be a place where artists and local citizens can meet and create together. It serves as a meeting and production space, a nucleus for ongoing site-specific performance production, and the research of new approaches to dialogue between art and society. It is also intended to be a place for international exchange formats in collaboration with theatres and art spaces that care about and work with specific questions related to art, politics, citizenship, and new visions for art institutions.

Tårnby Park Studio is an open platform that invites artists for residencies, proposes public interventions and public dialogues, and invites citizens into co-creation. It employs tools and methods from performing arts, site-specific practices, film, TV, participatory aspects, relational art, sharing of space and time, and invites the neighbors for surprising encounters.

 

 

 

 

 

„Jeg oplever Tårnby Park Performance Festival af Tårnby Park Studio som noget helt særligt. Det er en performance festival, som er vild og vildtvoksende. Det er som om, det vigtigste er at skabe plads og grobund for det nye samt at give plads til det og dem, som tidligere er blevet oversete. Det er tydeligt, at det er båret frem af få mennesker, og at det ikke er en kæmpe produktion. Det gør intet, fordi der er enorm hjertevarme til stede, som handler om alt andet end at være cool, men i stedet handler om åbensind.“  Karin Hald på Bastard.Blog
