Lyt til min samtale med den norske kunstner Guttorm Guttormsgaard om hans fantastiske samling af kunst, brugsgenstande, bøger og meget mere. Guttorm fortæller hvordan han søger efter kunstgenstande, der kommer ud af 'nødvendighed'. Det kan være små husholdningsredskaber af bøjet ståltråd, som vandrende tatere solgte hvor de kom frem, eller små snittede træfigurer skabt af Axel "Döderhultarn" Petersson i Sverige for over 100 år siden. Guttorm har følgeskab af Ellef Prestsæter, som fortæller om sit arbejde med at formidle og strukturere arkivet, blandt andet gennem en netside: http://guttormsgaardsarkiv.no Lyt her: http://hospitalprisonuniversity.net Denne samtale blev optaget i Blaker hvor Guttormsgaards Arkiv kan findes i det gamle mejeri hvor jeg var med til at drive en workshop i juni 2018.

On the Hospital Prison University Radio you listen to unskilled voices. Far from the smooth confident dynamics of talk-radio, here people try and use the radio to touch things and one another. As you can hear I am constantly struggling to find the words Currently on the radio you can hear a conversation between psychiatrist Birgit Bundesen and I, Jakob Jakobsen. I invited her to help me understand the Hospital Prison University Archive, and we partake in a sort of institutional analysis, trying to make sense of what kind of violence and repression are hiding under the floorboards of this institution. Birgit works in a hospital within the Danish National Health Service. I was initially in touch with her when she approached me to tell me that one of her patients suffering from psychosis was listening intensely to the Hospital Prison University Radio. We talk about safe space and care as an escape from the structured situation of the therapy session, among other things. Being at the Hospital Prison University

Lyt til Christina Wilson og Honza Hoeck fortælle om realiseringen og salget af Toves. Toves var et af kunstscenens hippeste gallerier i begyndelsen af 10erne, men i 2017 besluttede kunstnerne bag projektet at sælge. I samarbejde med Christina Wilson Art Adversary opgjorde de Toves 'assets' og nåede frem til en samlet pris på kr. 825.000,-. De primære værdier bestod af sociale netværk og i salgsprospektet bliver det nøje opført med navns nævnelse hvem og hvor mange følgere Toves har på diverse sociale medier. Alt dette var en del af pakken. Og vi kan afsløre, at et salg er ved at være i posen. Lyt med og hør hvem der slog til.

Her i opløbet af den aktuelle udstilling har vi inviteret Anna Ullman og Dominique Routhier i studiet for at forklare marxistisk værdikritik. Værdikritik er den nyeste tendens indenfor Marx læsningen og foreslår en fundamental kritik af pengeformen og vareformen. Værdikritik åbner et dystopisk landskab hvor kapitalismen er inde i sit endelige slutspil. Mange tak til Anna og Dominique for at dele deres viden og engagement!

Første gang keramiker Helle Nybo var i studiet fortalte hun hvordan hun voksede op med Kunst for Varer - og hvordan hendes far, billedhugger Johannes Hansen, byggede sit atelier-hus i Lyngby gennem materialer og tjenster som han byttede sig til gennem Kunst for Varer. I denne udsendelse kigger vi på billeder fra Johannes Hansens udstilling i Kunst for Varer i Bredgade fra 1931.
