BAR x Niels Munk Plum

Join us on 28 May, when former AHC resident Niels Munk Plum will present the performance work 7 CIRCLES for the very first BAR x at Thoravej 29. 7 CIRCLES is a performance collage of seven actions that will push us towards the edge of meaning and communication. Working with different modes of performing, speaking and moving, the seven circles will, in various ways, address notions of creating a performance, becoming a figure on stage, and acting within a set system of rules. The core is within that mode of shifting between systems, logic and emotion, body and speech – it’s the duality, or try-ality, in the acts creating confronting meetings and open-ended musings, making the audience relate, navigate and translate the acts.

Staging the body and language he works performance-based with discourses around participation in- and horizontalization of art. Plum interrogates the concept of artistic and institutional “expertise” through his performative and material practice, and has staged ambitious multi-medial interventions in museums, art academies, public, and artist-run spaces. With a BFA from Oslo National Academy of Fine Art (2020), he was the recipient of the FKDS studio grant at Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo 2020-21 and obtained his MFA from Malmö Art Academy in 2022. His graduate exhibition RIGID ROOM subsequently traveled to Stockholm to be a part of Konstväxlingar, an ongoing presentation of art in public space in a city metro station. In 2022, he was also one of three artists to present a new performance commission as part of the opening exhibition Jeg kaller det kunst at the National Museum in Oslo in 2022, with the work () New Loop (). Niels has also staged works and performances at institutions such as LARS (Lisboa), Podium (Oslo), Kunstnernes Hus (Oslo), Runde Taarn (Copenhagen), and produced several artist zines and publications. In autumn 2024, he was one of three residents at the residency programme at Art Hub Copenhagen.
