Like a Knife ft. Ditte Knus Tønnesen (#74), podcast conversation (in English) about art and creativity, Cultural Bandwidth (2016)

“This is it folks, perhaps the most helpful episode we have ever concocted. And it’s all thanks to Ditte. For those who don’t know, she is the co-founder and co-runner of Green is Gold, an exhibition and curatorial platform here in Copenhagen and a talented artist in her own right. We cover so much ground in our talk, and it’s chock full of good lessons and tips for you up and comers out there. For everyone really. We got through the hidden importance of having a studio, about working analogically, about starting and running a non-profit exhibition space, and she ever shares her secret weapon for getting curators to care about your work. Oh, and she fires some shots at her hometown. It’s everything we ever wanted, and so much more."

Artist in Residence at MoKs - Center for Art and Social Practice, Estonia (2012)

For Oct - Nov - Dec. I'm in Estonia working with the project Forgotten Art.

MOKS – Center for Art and Social Practice is a cultural center in Estonia situated in the rural community of Mooste, located 40km southeast of Tartu and 20km west of the Russian border. MoKS was founded as NGO Mooste KülalisStuudio in January 2001 to develop local and international cooperation in the fields of arts and environmental research in the rural context of post-soviet Estonia. Apart from managing the international artists in residence program, organizations activities range from arranging of different events such as international contemporary arts symposiums to the beginners and practicing artists’ workshops for digital media.

The MOKS residency studio is located in the renovated space of the Mooste manor governor house. With its broad scope and focused environment, MOKS is the first and still the only program of its kind in Estonia. Since its inception, MOKS has belonged to the Baltic Sea Residency Network, which links the artist-in-residence programs of the countries bordering the Baltic Sea.

The residency is kindly supported by Nordic Culture Point – Mobility and Residency Program, The Danish Art Council, Estonian Cultural Endowment and Estonian Ministry of Culture.

Artist in Residence at Skaftfell - Center for Visual Art, East Iceland (2012)

In september 2012, I'm artist in Residence at Skaftfell - Center for Visual Art, East Iceland. 

Twin City is going to be a photo, video and live / interactive video installation in Melbu, Norway and Seyðisfjörður, Iceland. Perhaps this project is the first link in a reunion of two Twins separated by 110 years and 1500km Atlantic Ocean. Through a pseudo scientific history research project, we will prove a historic tie between the two cities, which do not necessarily have a historic commitment to each other.

The cities Melbu and Seydisfjordur has many striking similarities what comes to size, look, historical origins, environment, development, geography and social structural situation. This and surely many more are the apparently secure evidence we want to document in our Pseudo Scientific field study in Melbu and Seyðisfjörður. We want to find similarities in the two communities, and with the similarities bring people in these communities together in a search for their common history and create a common understanding of each other.

Asle Lauvland Pettersen (b.1978) is a Norwegian Artist, Director and Theater Scenographer. Graduated from National Academy of Arts, Oslo and Royal Danish Theater Academy, Copenhagen.

Ditte Knus (b. 1982, DK) graduated with a first class BA (hons) Fine Art Photography from The Glasgow School of Art, Scotland. She has since exhibited in Ireland, The United Kingdom, Mexico, Germany, Norway and Denmark.

Press Review in Information (2012)
Søde spøgelser
by Micheal Jeppensen
4/6 stjerner


De skal flytte fra deres lejlighed på mandag, men laver lige et galleri i ugen op til som de propper med kunst af ret høj klasse fra kunstnere de har mødt i ind og udland. Her er et værk af tyske Dirk Wackerfuss der kunne blive til hipsternes udgave af PIK-fænomenet. Wackerfuss fotograferer sit ansigt spejlet i forskellige situationer i butiksvinduer og lignende. Det er sjovt. Det er et kamera på mavsen, en lommelygte i bøtten og så ellers afsted. Hans hoved kan ses på en zebra, Jesus, en statue osv.

Salomeh Grace har lavet en energisk film om at stå i køkkenet. Danilo Stankovic har lagt et hvepsebo på en hylde under en mystisk cirkel og en russisk præst. Telefon til Chefen viser et fascinerende arkiv og Johan Rosenmunthe springer ud som spændende kunstner med fem sjældent gode billeder af sten.

Vi krydser fingre for at Kristina Bengtsson og Kevin Malcolm også snart skal flytte fra deres næste lejlighed.

Appropriation has long been a common strategy in the production of art but what it means today is laid upon a shifting cultural landscape. If we believe that historical time is fractured and in motion then many, if not all things are present in more than one place and at more than one time. However, when invoked in a particular place and time, we can no longer be sure of how the appropriated thing will behave. As we well know, once a spirit is called forth it rarely does what we want or expect it to. What do these phenomena say to us and to each other when summoned to an empty apartment with ghosts of its own? 

Hour Projects is a new curatorial collaboration between artists Kristina Bengtsson (SE) and Kevin Malcolm (UK) based in Copenhagen.

Group exhibition, 1,000,000 Acres Of Sky, LungA Art Festival, Iceland (2012)

’There are now new experiences of space and time; new tensions between globalism and regionalism, socialism and consumerism, reality and spectacle; new instabilities of value, meaning and identity – a dialect between past and future. How are we to understand these?’ 
Quote from "MAPPING THE FUTURES: Local cultures and global change".

Economy sustaining the community or community sustaining the economy?

For the LungA Festival 2012 Green Is Gold, and it’s four affiliated artists, wish to each present individual works that examine and reference social and economical issues in small communities. These issues include the outside perception of a community existing in apparent isolation, its acceptance of geographical constraints and the natural elements, varying methods of local and global communication in a small independent society and the perspicacity of isolated peoples regarding distance and time and the effects such conditions have on the society. The works will consist of photography, video and sculptural installations and will incorporate locally sourced and found materials, which reference the highlighted issues and distinctly characterise each artist’s relevant practice.

Duo Exhibition: NEVER EXPRESS YOURSELF MORE CLEARLY THAN YOU ARE ABLE TO THINK, Denmark (2011)

Krabbesholms is proud to present the exhibition

NEVER EXPRESS YOURSELF MORE CLEARLY
THAN YOU ARE ABLE TO THINK

An exhibition of two individual art projects of the Norwegian Artist and Scenographer Asle Lauvland Pettersen (educated from the National Art Academy, Oslo and the National Theatre School, Copenhagen) and the Danish Artist and Photography Tutor at Krabbesholm Højskole Ditte Knus Tønnesen (educated from The Glasgow School of Art).

The exhibition consists of a pseudo scientific deconstruction of known and unknown scientific principles, staged through installations consisting of readymades and low-tech analog interactivity. 
As well as photographic work based on the vast land between culture versus nature. The work is questing our contemporary understanding of the cultural landscape, while being a take on it at the same time.

Now teaching at Krabbesholm Højskole, Denmark (2011)

I am now teaching in fine art photography at Krabbesholm Højskole, an art school based in the northwest of Jutland. 

" ...At Krabbesholm we believe that working with art, architecture and design is the best answer to the energetic and ever-intensifying world we live in. We are constantly striving to push the boundaries of convention between art, architecture and design, providing students with the opportunity to work in an environment with resources to make powerful statements about our world, both practically and theoretically.
The teaching environment attempts to develop students' personal perspective and individual identity while also providing a place to explore relationships between people in general..."

Group Exhibition, WE JUST LIVE HERE, the Forgotten Bar, Berlin (2010)

WE JUST LIVE HERE 
Like a bag of glitter in the face of a stumbling drunk trying to find his keys, the beautiful and merciless Berlin autumn has once again hit us hard. Now, we´re regaining the warmth by making way for a boiling and unforgettable Forgotten Bar-show. Suggesting an open structure of story, where playful and dynamical concatenation of images, fortified by must-see artists, makes up a surprisingly multi?interpretable whole, spanning all ends of the spectrum. It is everything you need to come good and hard!

Velkommen til Morgenrøde nummer 1.

Morgenrøde, selve ordet, det mytologiske, det konkrete, det farverige og fantasifulde ord har i dette nummer af tidsskiftet været udgangspunkt, startskud og endemål for redaktionen og bidragyderne. Vi besluttede os for at efterprøve rummeligheden af begrebet, og bad en række digtere, forfattere og billedkunstnere om at deltage, således at vi kunne bore os gennem, finde veje ud og rundt i den verden det tidlige morgenskær kan frembringe bag frontallappens forgreninger.

Vi er i redaktionen glade og stolte af at kunne præsentere Morgenrøde nummer 1, med så alsidige og forskellige værker og bidrag, og vi håber at det endelige resultat vil blive set, nydt, læst og diskutteret. 
Godt forår! /Redaktionen

Group Exhibition, Campeche, Mexico (2009)

On December the 1. 1999, in the twenty third session of the Committee of the Organization of the United Nations for Educations, Science and Culture (UNESCO) its members unanimously decided to include the historic-fortified city Campeche in the list of Cultural Patrimony of Humanity due to its historic, commercial, military and religious context, as well as for the high degree of conservation, integrity and homogeneity of its architecture. 

A decade away from such relevant event, the Government of the State of Campeche is pleased to sponsor the VI Euro American Exhibition of Visual Art, with the intention to bring about an encounter where visual artists from America and Europe make the most out of synergy as well as of their outstanding artistic proposals.

And, what could be a better setting than the state capital! Founded in 1540, it was a key piece in the conquest of the Yucatan peninsula and, during the XVI and XVII centuries it was besieged by the assault of pirates who made necessary the construction of a defense system composed of walls, bastions and other military arts of which a great part are still preserved splendidly for the everyday admiration of locals and visitors. 

Campeche is the ideal scenery for the conjunction of visual artists because of its light and colorfulness. Its beautiful sunset are world famous for the array of colors and set of lights and shadows they display. 

Exerting our proverbial hospitality, we cordially receive almost one hundred participants to create bonds of friendship and forward artistic exchange among countries from America and Europe, in benefit of the population of Campeche. 

Through this event, my government seeks to broaden and diversify the presence of Campeche on an international level through visual arts expressions and an active and reciprocal exchange with other nations.

MV inspiriert sogar Chinesen
Vier Künstler aus China und zwei aus Dänemark sind Gaste der regionalen Initiative Internationaler Tourismus.

Von Lutz Werner
Kühlungsborn. Dass in der Kühlungsborner Kunsthalle eine Ausstellung professionell vorbereitet wird, ist eigentlich selbstverständlich. Aber das Geschehen gestern Nashmittag fiel doch ein wenig aus dem Rahmen, signalisiere: Kunst ist international, kann Menschen zusammenführen und verbinden, die sich vorher noch nie gesehen haben. 

Denn Han Ymeng, Dong Junru, Shao Junming und Wang Jing aus Harbin im Nordosten Chinas und Ditte Knus Tønnesen aus Kopenhagen brauchten keine fünf Minuten, um sich in der schönen Halle heimisch zu fühlen und planten dann mit Franz N. Kröger, dem Leiter dem Hauses, wer wo und wie viele seiner Malereien, Skulpturen und Installationen hängen bzw. aufstellen kann. 

Das wirkte so, als ob Kröger and die Künstler sich schon lange kenne und hatte auch mit der Gastfreundschaft zu tun, die die fünf Künstler in den vergangenen Wochen bereits in Künhlundsborn und Bad Doberan erleben konnten. Eine zweite Dänin wird noch dazukommen.

DUNK! is an artist run exhibition space located in Copenhagen, Denmark. Founded in September 2005, it is dedicated to showing work by both emerging and more established Danish and international artists, across all medias and genres. 

Since 2006 they have participated in Art Fairs across Denmark and Europe. In 2007 they began representing a selection of contemporary artists through their website, in the style of a commercial gallery. In January 2008 they were included in Flash Art International’s list of the Top 100 Galleries worldwide.

Through the Looking Glass represents DUNK!’s first major international group show outside of Copenhagen. The show at SWG3 (Studio Warehouse Glasgow) will feature new work from DUNK!’s represented artists, including three Danish guests artists who have all studied at The Glasgow School of Art.

Through the Looking Glass represents a magnified cross section of Copenhagen’s progressive art scene, providing a snap shot of the city’s contemporary critical climate. The work will investigate a diverse range of media from painting, drawing and sculpture, through to installation video and photography.

DUNK! asked each of the participating artists to focus on phenomena particular to Glasgow, referencing in one way or another aspects of the city’s recent cultural history. This open-ended thematic framework has been established as a point of departure, acting as a catalyst for the production of new work. 

Through the Looking Glass is the second exhibition in an exchange between DUNK! and SWG3. Coordinated in Glasgow by resident artist Dan Miller, the project started with Miller’s solo show at DUNK!, during September 2008.

Degree Show 2008, The Glasgow School of Art (2008)

'Degree Show 2008 continues our proud tradition of producing exhibitions of the highest possible standard and across the widest spectrum of art.

In the School of Fine Art we challenge our students to question what they see themselves, and in the world around them. We encourage our students to explore new ideas, and to find new way of expressing them; to say important things about the world; and through visual language, help others interpret what they see. This approach can often make the finished work challenging for the observer. 

We encourage our students to be curious – curiosity lies at the heart of all good art and good artists.'

Head of the School of Fine Art
