The second iteration of In Situ festival is a collaboration between Simian and Rewild. Over two evenings, In Situ presents a program spanning from mind-bending sound art abstractions, boundary pushing performance experiments, politically charged and deeply emotive songwriting prowess, immersive and vividly evocative listening experiences, and a wide array of DJ's all set to turn the dancefloor into a sacred ground.
Consider the artistic breakthroughs of German expressionism, Brechtian cabarets, and atonal music all tangled up in the famously decadent nightlife of Weimar era Berlin. Consider the sexual indulgence and ferociously colorful aesthetics - camp, you might say - of the Movida Madrileña of post-fascist Spain. Or consider, more recently, the hedonistic escapism of rave culture which ever since the Second Summer of Love has given birth to new modes of identitary and aesthetic expression beyond the confines of the traditional institutions of the art world.
In view of these striking pieces of evidence, one might draw the conclusion that the importance of an artistic movement is directly deducible from the greatness of its parties. And why wouldn't it be so? Rather than simply a source of pleasure - although, hopefully, it is that as well - the party can be a safe space, a site of political resistance, a utopian sanctuary, a spiritual awakening, a home, a holy place, and an endless source of inspiration. For many, the party is not simply a pastime, but an existential necessity. "A collaborative practice that makes it possible to endure this life", as the writer McKenzie Wark so eloquently phrases it. Like the greatest works of art, the party can be a liberatory experience.
Simian and Rewild are beyond excited to welcome you back to In Situ.

Anden udgave af In Situ-festivalen er et samarbejde mellem Simian og Rewild. I løbet af to aftener i Simians 1400m2 industrielle, in-situ støbte, underjordiske rum præsenterer festivalen et program, der spænder fra bevidsthedsudvidende lydkunstabstraktioner, grænsesøgende performanceeksperimenter, politisk ladet og dybtfølt sangskrivningskunst, stemningsmættede og levende lytteoplevelser samt en bred vifte af DJ's, der alle er klar til at forvandle dansegulvet til hellig jord.
Overvej den tyske ekspressionismes kunstneriske landvindinger, Brechts kabaretter og den atonale musik, alt sammen filtret uløseligt ind i det dekadente natteliv, som var med til at gøre Weimar-tidens Berlin så legendarisk. Overvej den seksuelle løssluppenhed og den overvældende, farverige æstetik - camp, kunne man kalde det - som kendetegnede det post-fascistiske Spaniens Movida Madrileña. Eller overvej den hedonistiske eskapisme i rave-kulturen, som lige siden den anden Summer of Love har skabt nye former for identitetsmæssige og æstetiske udtryk uden for kunstverdenens traditionelle institutioner. I lyset af disse slående beviser kunne man let drage den konklusion, at en kunstnerisk bevægelses betydning direkte kan udledes af dens festers storslåethed. Og hvorfor skulle det ikke være sådan? Mere end blot en kilde til nydelse - selvom den forhåbentlig også er det - kan festen være et safe-space, en politisk kampplads, et utopisk frirum, en åndelig opvågnen, et hjem, et helligt sted og en endeløs kilde til inspiration. For mange er festen ikke bare tidsfordriv, men en eksistentiel nødvendighed. "En kollaborativ praksis, der gør det muligt at udholde dette liv", som forfatteren McKenzie Wark så rammende formulerer det. Ligesom de største kunstværker kan festen være en befriende oplevelse. Anden udgave af In Situ-festivalen er et samarbejde mellem Simian og Rewild. I løbet af to aftener i Simians 1400m2 industrielle, in-situ støbte, underjordiske rum præsenterer festivalen et program, der spænder fra.
