SEJE SOPA was an exhibition and a series of events set in a private apartment in Lisboa. During a week a score of events would establish a poetic form, not only through words but also through actions and meetings. The project existed as a series of happenings going into or outside of the apartment, and manifested itself through physical works present, but also through the people who participated. 

​

The narrative/plan for the performance circled around ideas of art, it's production and authorship. It was a form of research based on relational modi, were the audience would somehow become part of creating the works by conversation, participation and movement.

 

Niels Munk Plum is a Danish visual artist working with installation, performance, text and movements as tools in his artistic practice. His art often evokes questions regarding the perception of an artwork, and how we as audience relate and encounter the work. By setting up his unique performative stages, often consisting of textile works, installation, bright colours, and playful drawings he guides and questions the spectator to rethink the expectations to a given situation, whether it is in an art context or in your daily life. The situation then turns into a stage for us to use our fantasy to cross material-, social-, or conventional borders. By working with an emphasis on the process, rather than of the finished work, the audience becomes part of creating, and of materialising what a work of art can be.
