The parasite project
November 23, 2021
For almost 8 weeks, Landing has been housed at Kuben upper secondary school together with an inflatable headquarters. On December 3, the project is over.
In the Parasitt project, Landing are house artists at Kuben Upper Secondary School. They make use of their rooms, the students who attend, and the start and end times of the school day. Over eight weeks, they are present in their headquarters, which they attach to the outside and inside of Kuben's buildings. Landing's artistic process runs parallel to, and is infiltrated into, the everyday school life of the students and teachers. They seek real exchange with the students, and develop strategies and formats that allow us to meet each other through art and the body. Landing wants students to experience that contemporary art is something that can affect them.
The Parasite project is based on experiences from performing artistic processes in a school context / DKS, in public spaces and dance tours. Landing believes that art and artists must be found in spaces other than those set aside for art, and believes in being in a place over time and meeting the same audiences again and again.
