My work from the group show Zefyr at Kirsten Kjaers Museum, Jutland.
1-30 October 2022

Participating artists: Benjamin Andersson (SE), Arngr\u00edmur Borg\u00fe\u00f3rsson (IS), Maja Gade (DK)

The exhibition followed a residency period at the museum in August 2022, where I researched the life of artist Kirsten Kjaer and the founders of her museum, partners John Anderson and Harald Fuglsang. I found one flamboyant and strong headed woman, as well as two devoted persons who built her museum with a Do-it-yourself approach.

A wearable piece of textile\/jewellery, made with inspiration from a Tunisian piece which Kirsten Kjaer brought from a trip, and wore frequently. It now hangs in the museum. Maria Norrman has made this piece in relation to it, using photos of Kirsten Kjaer, colours and patterns she liked, as an homage.
The piece was worn by Norrman\u2019s persona Millennium Star at their performance in Johns Hall, on the opening of the exhibition Zefyr.

Performance: Millennium Star in concert (at Johns Hall)<\/strong>
1 October 2022,<\/strong> 14.15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millennium Star is Maria Norrmans drag queen persona, with whom she performs as in different settings, often where one wouldn\u2019t expect to see a drag performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the performance in Johns Hall, Millennium Star will wear the Jewellery for Kirsten Kjaer-piece and perform some Danish classic songs from the 30s and 40s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
