The art party’s new interdisciplinary project is called ART AS SUSTAINABLE ENERGY (KSVE). Together with young talents and by utilizing different art forms, they want to inspire the citizens of Vejle to reduce their climate footprint in their daily lives.
Performance course in Vejles schools
In 2024-2025, the Art Party will put roots in Vejle among the younger generations. Throughout the project, they will have a special focus on young people with a performance course in Veils schools on environmental sustainability using artistic tools. The courses will include the participation of various international artists who will animate the participants with unexpected artistic moments and encourage them to create new ideas and concepts around the main theme: “ART AS SUSTAINABLE ENERGY”. The troupe will interact in the city as a newly hatched “energy company” providing a new alternative renewable energy form: ART.
“REDUCE” installation and performance
The opening of the KSVE program will be on April 30 at 21.00, when the Art Party inaugurates a new installation entitled “REDUCE”. The installation will be activated from the “Lantern” tower in the old boiler building overlooking the entire city, as an important warning to spotlight a more sustainable future and wiser consumption of electricity. There will also be a special performance where SUPER ´ELT will live at the top of the building without electricity to reflect on important and current topics such as energy consumption, recycling, and food waste.
New frontman
SUPER ´ELT or “the invisible energy of art” will be, as in the Art Party’s previous projects, the new frontman and the identity will only be revealed at the end of the project. He will speak on behalf of the group, highlighting the issue of energy and the environment, dressing in a fullbody suit and cape. He will also be the one to lead the parades of young people and involve locals in the climate debate. You can meet Super ´Elt in urban spaces or get closer to him in the old boiler building.
Events and door-to-door energy service
From May 1 to September 2024, SUPER ´ELT and the renewable energy squad will be visible in urban spaces with happenings, appearances at city festivals and events. They will go door-to-door, to offices, elderly homes and offer citizens a special ‘energy agreement’, which will take the form of ‘opera bike’ and ‘concerts in the dark’.
