The Song of the Artist's Continuously Retreating Demarcation Horizons

This project investigates the evolving role of the artist within participatory and hybrid concert practices, where boundaries between creator, interpreter, and audience become increasingly fluid. Through the development of collective singing formats, it explores how artistic processes can be opened to broader communities and reconfigured as shared, socially embedded practices.
Project duration:

How is the role of the artist evolving in a time when the boundaries between creator, interpreter, and audience are becoming increasingly fluid? And how can concert and collective singing formats be developed to involve more participants – both professionals and amateurs – in the artistic process?

The project builds on Jacob Anderskov’s previous experiments with hybrid concert formats, and it seeks to expand a participatory concert format with new collaborators that can challenge traditional notions of artistic identity and the role of the artwork. Throughout the project, Anderskov will collaborate with both the Aarhus Sinfonietta and several amateur choirs. The project also aims to spark a broader debate about the role of art and the artist in society – a conversation that involves not only the KUV field and higher artistic education but also the wider community.
