Come join us May 16th at Sound Art Lab in Struer, where artist and musician Gro Pechüle and sound and performance artist Emil Keller Skousen will each give a work presentation of their projects.

I’m Like a Bird – Emil Keller Skousen Emil Keller Skousen

“I’m Like a Bird” is a performance that integrates sound, text, and sculpture. It is based on a kind of homemade bootleg animatronics skeleton arm playing the violin, a battered Casio CTK-800 MIDI keyboard playing a distorted version of Nelly Furtado’s “I’m Like a Bird”, and a collage of field recordings forming the soundtrack to a monologue.

Emil Keller Skousen works with a blend of sound, performance, text, drawing, and sculpture. In recent years, he has particularly toured with the performance “Mr. Szinck,” which is a drone-noise show featuring the lonely knight of the post-apocalypse, and produced works such as releases in various physical and digital formats.

The Voice og the Sky is Blue – Gro Pechüle Sound Art Lab Gro Pechüle

The voice of the sky is blue is a sound essay which asks if our voices are partial objects that seem to have a life of their own or if the voices we hear and speak with, are us completely? Does the voice belong to you? Do you control your inner voice? The work takes us through personal reflection, literature references and philosophy speculation regarding the subject. I hear myself speaking. I can’t hear myself think. STFU I can’t hear myself think!

Gro Pechüle is a Copenhagen based artist and musician. The focus of her practice is in the power of language and the boundaries between fantasy and reality.
Pechüle’s artistic practice is interdisciplinary, music and language being the overarching media she’s working with. Pechüle grew up between several countries and cultural backgrounds and works often on notions of belonging and alienation.
