Et nybyggeri placerer sig oven på erfaret liv
Projektet arbejder med tre elementer:
- Lokalisering af steder og geografier i Gellerupparken og omgivelser
- Sammenstillinger af bydelens lag, nu og tilbage til 1950’erne
- Erindring og rekonstruktion. Vi genskaber lokaliteters grundplaner ud fra erindringstegninger
I projektet inddrager vi luftfotografier fra nationale arkiver. Derudover indgår Kite Aerial Photography-optagelser, der viser byudviklingen siden 2015. Luftfotograferingen er et af Sigrids Stues kontinuerlige projekter.
I februar 2023 dannede Mellemrummet i Sports- og Kulturcampus ramme for sammenligning af luftoptagelser over Gellerup. Aktiviteten tog form som en åben kollektiv og undersøgende workshop, der ændrede sig fra dag til dag. Transparenter med luftoptagelser blev studeret på lysborde. Vi lagde folierne sammen i lag og i serier. Nye lag, genfundene steder og tidsforløb blev relateret til egnen færden i bydelen.
En foreløbig afrunding skete i et intenst produktivt forløb, hvor der indgik erindringstegning. Ud fra skitserne genskabte Sigrids Stues Team konturerne af to lokaliteter, der tidligere befandt sig på Sports- og kulturcampus’ grundstykke.
De flygtige rekonstruktioner gjaldt Sigrids UdeStue (2016 til 2020) hvis placering var sammenfaldende med det, der nu er Gellerup Biblioteks sydligste del. Dertil handlede det om en børneinstitution, hvor grundplan og aktiviteter strakte sig ud over Verdenspladsen og videre over Karen Blixens Boulevard. Det skete fra 1971 til 2015. Institutionstypen var ikonisk for en stor del af de børnehaver og vuggestuer der blev anlagt i og omkring Gellerupparken i starten af 70’erne.
Udover erindringstegninger var Sigrids Stues Team udrustet med trælister i store mængder. Efter forhandlinger og overvejelser i Teamet blev listerne lagt ud og placeret: den ene liste efter den anden. Markeringerne udgjorde omridset af de nu forsvundne bygninger. De blev genskabt for en stund.
Om processen bag det at gendanne omridset af Sigrids Udestue på den tidligere placering:
”Projektet er baseret på en samspillet mellem to virkeligheder:
– for det første er der virkeligheden i den eksisterende, fysiske arkitektur på det kommunale bibliotek;
– den anden virkelighed møder vi, når vi møder den flygtige virkelighed efter Sigrids UdeStue, der flyttede fra dette sted, og som nu blot lever i erindringerne hos mennesker, der var dets brugere.”

The project works with three elements:
Localization of places and geographies in Gellerup Park and its surroundings
Compilations of the district’s layers, now and back to the 1950s
Memory and reconstruction. We recreate the floor plans of locations based on memory drawings
The project incorporates aerial photographs from national archives. In addition, it includes Kite Aerial Photography images showing urban development since 2015. Aerial photography is one of Sigrids Stue’s ongoing projects.
In February 2023, Mellemrummet in the Sports and Culture Campus provided the setting for a comparison of aerial photographs of Gellerup. The activity took the form of an open collective and exploratory workshop that changed from day to day. Transparencies with aerial photographs were studied on light tables. We laid the foils together in layers and series. New layers, rediscovered places, and time sequences were related to the area’s history in the neighborhood.
A preliminary conclusion was reached in an intensely productive process that included memory drawing. Based on the sketches, Sigrid’s Stues Team recreated the contours of two locations that were previously located on the Sports and Culture Campus site.
The temporary reconstructions concerned Sigrid’s UdeStue (2016 to 2020), whose location coincided with what is now the southernmost part of Gellerup Library. In addition, there was a children’s institution whose floor plan and activities extended beyond Verdenspladsen and further across Karen Blixens Boulevard. This took place from 1971 to 2015. The type of institution was iconic for a large part of the kindergartens and nurseries that were established in and around Gellerup Park in the early 1970s.
In addition to memory drawings, Sigrid’s Stues Team was equipped with large quantities of wooden strips. After negotiations and deliberations within the team, the strips were laid out and placed: one strip after another. The markings formed the outline of the now-vanished buildings. They were recreated for a while.
About the process behind restoring the outline of Sigrid’s Udestue at its former location:
“The project is based on the interplay between two realities:
– firstly, there is the reality of the existing physical architecture of the municipal library;
– the second reality is the fleeting reality of Sigrid’s Udestue, which moved from this location and now lives on only in the memories of its users.”
The note was written by Agnieszka Wołodźko, who participated in the reconstruction on Tuesday, February 14.
