It is a site-specific interdisciplinary art practise, and their duo work includes
  • Art installations and various forms of rituals and circular performances
  • Art exhibitions
  • Film and Interactive Artist Talks
  • Workshops
  • Music Album
Together, they have realised seven inter-disciplinary art projects in Denmark, Latvia, Norway, Lithuania and Mallorca. The Duo falls in love with iconic buildings for its own unique light, architecture, spacial energy, surroundings, history and not least a soul that inspires. But the key focus is facilitation of co-creation situations with their audiences. The Duo is currently working on a new art project based on Nordic Lighthouses as cultural beacons; Set Sound To The Lighthouses: A Quest For Light. Holck received nordic mobility funding for a research trip to Riga, Latvia in July 2023 to continue the durational artistic research work of lighthouses in Latvia with Vēvere and to engage in a networking and residency stay with the Latvian art community of Totaldobže Art Centre in Riga. The funding also supported the international duo in the processing of already existing audio-visual footage and conceptual ideas from former site-specific residency journeys to lighthouses in Denmark, Norway, and Latvia into sound art and video installations, and interactive participatory performance and exhibition formats. #GudrunHolck #SetSoundTo #MusicIsTheWeapon
