Book launch & Farewell reception for CAMP / Boglancering & afskedsreception for CAMP

(Dansk version længere nede)

Welcome to a festive launch of the book CAMP status! Seven Years of Engaging Art on Migration Politics and a farewell reception for CAMP

It is with great joy but also sadness that CAMP is inviting the public to a book launch in Trampoline House of the recollective publication CAMP status! Seven Years of Engaging Art on Migration Politics. The publication will be CAMP's last activity before the center closes on Oct. 1 and looks back at CAMP’s unique production of migration engaged exhibitions, events, publications, and education programs from 2013–2020.

Instead of lamenting that an era is over, we would like to rejoice together that Creative Director Frederikke Hansen has joined the Artistic Team of the worldwide exhibition documenta fifteen, and that co-founder Tone Olaf Nielsen and Trampoline House will be part of creating a network of organizations that will be pivotal in that very same exhibition.

About the book /

CAMP status! is edited by CAMP’s founders and curators, Frederikke Hansen & Tone Olaf Nielsen, and tells the complete story of CAMP's foundation and its unique production of migration-engaged exhibitions, events, publications, and educational programs from 2013–2020.

The publication reflects on CAMP’s methodologies and conclusions and presents, in addition to a detailed chronology, a series of essays by Matthias Hvass Borello, Frederikke Hansen & Tone Olaf Nielsen, Anders Juhl & Marianne Ping Huang, Sabine Dahl Nielsen & Anne Ring Petersen, and a conversation between CAMP’s founders and Nora El Qadim.

One aim of the publication is to contribute to the documentation of those contemporary artists of the 2010s, who dealt with issues of decolonization, racism, and migration politics. Another aim of the book is to serve as a guide of sorts for anyone interested in establishing new exhibition venues focused on ethical, political, and politicized issues.

The publication is designed by graphic designer and artist Kristina Ask / Print Matters! and is printed in a 60-page hardcover edition. A Danish as well as an English language version is published.

The first 50 copies of the publication are sold for DKK 60. After this, the price for the rest of the day is DKK 75. After the book launch, the publication can be ordered through Trampoline House’s webshop for DKK 130 or downloaded for free here.

Bag Hegnet is filmed on location in the long corridors of the Danish deportation center Sjælsmark and presents a group of children from the center. With mime, body language, absurdity, and humor, the film focuses on the children's creativity, strength, and personal expression.


Hjertelig velkommen til festlig boglancering af publikationen CAMP status! Syv års arbejde med migrationspolitisk kunst og afskedsreception for CAMP

Det er med både stor glæde og vemodighed, at CAMP inviterer offenligheden til boglancering af publikationen CAMP status! Syv års arbejde med migrationspolitisk kunst i Trampolinhuset. Udgivelsen bliver CAMPs sidste aktivitet, før centret lukker den 1. okt., og ser tilbage på centrets unikke produktion af migrationsengagerede udstillinger, events, publikationer og uddannelsesprogrammer fra 2013–2020. 

Fremfor at begræde at en epoke er ovre, vil vi gerne sammen glædes over Kreativ direktør Frederikke Hansens indtrædelse i den verdensomspændende udstilling documenta fifteen’s kuratorteam, og at med-grundlægger Tone Olaf Nielsen og Trampolinhuset skal være med til at skabe et netværk af organisationer, der bliver krumtap i samme udstilling.

Om bogen /

CAMP status! er redigeret af CAMPs grundlæggere og kuratorer Frederikke Hansen & Tone Olaf Nielsen og fortæller hele historien om CAMPs tilblivelse og unikke produktion af migrationsengagerede udstillinger, events, publikationer og uddannelsesprogrammer fra 2013–2020.

Publikationen reflekterer over CAMPs metoder og konklusioner og præsenterer udover en detaljere kronologi en række tekster af Matthias Hvass Borello, Frederikke Hansen & Tone Olaf Nielsen, Anders Juhl & Marianne Ping Huang, Sabine Dahl Nielsen & Anne Ring Petersen samt en samtale mellem CAMPs grundlæggere og Nora El Qadim.

Målsætningen er, at udgivelsen kan indgå som væsentlig dokumentation af den del af 2010ernes samtidskunst, der beskæftigede sig med dekolonialisering, racisme og migrationspolitik som emnefelter. Samtidigt håber vi, at den kan fungere som en slags vejviser for etablering af nye udstillingssteder omkring etiske, politiske og politiserede problemstillinger. 

Publikationen er designet af grafiker og kunstner Kristina Ask / Print Matters! og er trykt i en hardcoverudgave på 60 sider. Der udgives både en dansk og en engelsksproget version.

De første 50 eksemplarer af publikation sælges under boglanceringen til 60 kr. Herefter er prisen resten af dagen 75 kr. Efter boglanceringen kan bogen købes på Trampolinhusets webshop for 130 kr. eller downloades gratis her.

Tilmelding /

Da vi følger myndighedernes corona-retningslinjer, er antallet af pladser til boglanceringen begrænset til 50 personer. Tilmelding sker ved at sende en email til communication@campcph.org senest 25. sept. kl. 12.
