Received the three-year working scholarship (2010 - 2013) from the Danish Arts Foundation's Music Committee for Rhythmic Music In 2010, the Danish Arts Foundation's Music Committee for Rhythmic Music awarded Tine Louise Kortermand its three-year working scholarship – one of the most prestigious artists' scholarships in Denmark. In its remarks on the award, the Committee said: "Tine Louise Kortermand is a gifted, original and bold multimedia artist. Song, performance and installation form a synthesis in her works, which, in addition to music and lyrics, also include video projections and theatrical performances. Everything she does exudes a genuine and natural sense of experimentation with artistic expression. She has a liberatingly unorthodox approach to music and performance. The works take their starting-point in things which are immediate and real, such as plants, landscapes, human destinies or ancient myths; and on this basis, she spins a fascinating net of atmospheres and draws us into a surrealistic, dreaming universe." With the three-year work grant from the Danish Arts Foundation's Music Committee for Rhythmic Music, we hope that she continues her important, exciting work to the delight of the audience and a great inspiration for other artists. |

by Kurt Wolmar Nyberg, Performance festival Friktioner, June 2008 … Kortermand with a huge microphone, recording the sound scape of a frying omelet prepared by Björk Eliasson in live performance, introduced the surrealist musical and mixed media show. The show was loaded with references and complex conceptual puns going all the way back to the sixties and the Fluxus movement. The recorded sounds of frying omelet was to appear later in the show as a composition. This kind of an artistic loop has a lot of references in surrealist music and performance art. ... Under reflection the work opens up a rift in time and space where feelings, attitudes and concepts merge and opens up the world to different perspectives.

Review of the theme exhibition "Speak-up", 21 artists showing - I therefore invited the linguist Kirsten Gomard to cooperate and give lectures on how our behavior will always be understood in relation to society's expectations about gender. I chose her both because of her research and her personal history. With her interllect and masculine appearance she felt different throughout her entire childhood - The work consisted of a video installation that looked like a dollhouse - In front of the house, I had planted a small garden, where I worked with various garden tools. The sounds of the garden tools generated certain Simultaneously the electro musician Hans Sydow sampled the sounds, which occurred while I worked in the garden. The samples functioned as music accompanying my singing. I asked Sydow to create a polyphonic composition for hedge shears that the drum majorettes played as accompaniment to one of my songs. Kirsten Gomard's lecture we sampled and incorporated into the music along with the sampled sounds of hedge shears, sod and lawn mover. It all became one 'body'that interfered with the usual standard norms and challenged the conventional image of the woman whom the dollhouse associated to. - It is this complex, sampled 'body' that becomes the image of the strangeness within us, the female alien, I call it. It is the modern woman who struggles with her inner constraints; the one she wants to be, but not yet is because her cultural legacy reaction pattern drops her in the back. - It is one of the things that many women today must overcome in their development from being wrong in their own self-perception to be correct. We fight with a strangers luggage. |
