New sound work by Jacob Kirkegaard to be premiered live at SPOR Festival in Aarhus, May 7th 2010, 11pm
Jacob Kirkegaard's new work BANDERA (flag in Spanish) consists of audio recordings of the flagstaff masts, which are installed in front of the building ‘U.S. Interests Section’ in Havana, Cuba. The installation was designed by the Cuban government to shadow for an electric newspaper, which the U.S. government has used for years to disseminate anti-communist propaganda from the building. However, last year the U.S. government chose to turn off the electric newspaper. The conclusion was that the messages did not reach satisfactory because of the 'obstructions', which had been placed in front of the electric newspaper. They alluded to these approximately 50 masts, all with black flags with a white star in the middle. These anti-imperialist flags are also metaphorically interesting because it - according to Jacob Kirkegaard - symbolizes the wall that exists between two countries with distinct ideologies. On one side of the flag wall is the U.S.’s only bastion on Cuban soil. In front of the flags is the space Anti-imperialist Tribune. Jacob Kirkegaard got special permission to place his accelerometer (sensitive contact microphone) to the masts, in this heavily guarded and inflamed area around the house. BANDERA feels the pulse of the state between U.S. & Cuba anno 2010.

Jacob Kirkegaard. Haus der Mahre
Thursday, March 18, 2010, 7pm
In Norse mythology, “mares” or “albs” are small black goblins that, at nighttime, slip into houses through keyholes and sit down on the sleepers tearing their hair and inducing nightmares. In English the word “mare” both stands for this evil nightly spirit as well as for a female horse.
With his new work House of Mare, the Danish sound and media artist Jacob Kirkegaard presents a foray into one of the most common and most fascinating phenomena of unintentionally produced human sounds: the noises we make while we sleep. The artist invited 16 guests to individually spend one of 16 subsequent nights in the suite of KW's Hotel Marienbad. During their sleep, he captured the sounds they made – movements, snoring, murmurs or sleeptalking – adding them to the sounds made by the previous guests. The result is a multi-layered composition that invites its listeners to experience an acoustic dream-memory of the hotel room.

Broadcast date Dec 4th 2009
SPECULUM SPECULI is an experiment that operates at the very core of radio broadcasting: Working with precision-ground magnifiers and mirrors, sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard dissects the ostentive silence and passivity of empty broadcasting studios. Through amplification and feedback processes, he reveals the hidden life breath of spaces that are usually thought of as "acoustically dead" and inactive.
RUSLAND
On October 26 we will be premiering the performance "RUSLAND" (Russia) written & directed by Cecilie Ullerup Schmidt. In May 2009 I was sent on a 10-day trip to Russia to trace & capture the "Sound of Russia. My recordings will be heard throughout the performance. RUSSIA will be presented at the NyAveny theatre on Frederiksberg, followed by a series in the city of Aarhus.
