It\u2019s late on a cold Tuesday evening and I sit before my laptop, a warm peppermint tea between my hands, in anticipation of a conversation I\u2019ve long been waiting to have. As I wait, I look around my room and notice the season sticking to my windows in droplets. I watch in fascination as patterns emerge in the condensation, before making a mental note to remove the nearby books so as to avoid the mould which creeps ever-closer towards my shelves. While ruminating on where I would reposition said books \u2013 the opposite wall, or upon the desk, or maybe in the living room \u2013 Najaaraq Vestbirk, better known by her alias Courtesy<\/a>, appears on my screen, her face lit by a small lamp in the corner of her Berlin bedroom. And almost instantly, I forgot my hands \u2013 and my books \u2013 were ever cold.<\/span><\/p>\n

Najaaraq Vestbirk is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans music and far beyond. Traversing installation, composition, DJing (and currently a resident on NTS), performance, photography and video, Vestbirk has carved out her niche between sound and contemporary art. What lies at the intersection of these varying disciplines is an interest in the collective exchange that can occur through performance and the ways an artist can dissolve the barrier between themselves and the audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the release of her debut EP <\/span>Night Journeys<\/span><\/i><\/a> in 2022 and later, <\/span>Violence of the Moodboard <\/span><\/i><\/a>in 2023, the artist has produced her first LP <\/span>fra eufori<\/span><\/i><\/a> \u2013 translating literally to \u201cfrom euphoria\u201d \u2013 which brings an ambient twist to some of the most loved trance and Eurodance tracks from the Eighties through to the early Noughties. While other releases such as <\/span>Night Journeys<\/span><\/i>, made when the artist experienced a period of insomnia, are fuelled by introspection, her latest is more of a research project than a self exploration.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019ve started to find being in my own feelings, and making work in relation to that, a little bit boring,\u201d she says, \u201cI just don\u2019t find that particularly interesting anymore. This project was really me starting to look outwards, as opposed to inwards.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":112237,"id":112237,"title":"08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_04","filename":"08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_04.jpg","filesize":817694,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_04.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/looking-outwards-with-courtesy\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_04\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_04","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":112236,"date":"2023-12-07 10:52:29","modified":"2023-12-07 10:52:29","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1245,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_04.jpg","thumbnail-width":62,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_04.jpg","medium-width":1245,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_04.jpg","medium_large-width":1245,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_04.jpg","large-width":1245,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_04-996x1536.jpg","1536x1536-width":996,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_04.jpg","2048x2048-width":1245,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_04.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":8,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_04.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1245,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}},{"ID":112240,"id":112240,"title":"08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_07","filename":"08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_07.jpg","filesize":763712,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_07.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/looking-outwards-with-courtesy\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_07\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_07","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":112236,"date":"2023-12-07 10:53:23","modified":"2023-12-07 10:53:23","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1249,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_07.jpg","thumbnail-width":62,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_07.jpg","medium-width":1249,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_07.jpg","medium_large-width":1249,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_07.jpg","large-width":1249,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_07-999x1536.jpg","1536x1536-width":999,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_07.jpg","2048x2048-width":1249,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_07.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":8,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_07.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1249,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"Photography by Clara Sartor."}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

For Vestbirk, looking outwards meant researching into the tracks that have had a profound impact on the history of dance and pop music, both nostalgic and irksome. From Madonna\u2019s <\/span>What It Feels Like For A Girl<\/span><\/i> to <\/span>You\u2019re Not Alone <\/span><\/i>by Olive, \u201c<\/span>fra eufori<\/span><\/i>\u201d plays with some of the most memorable tracks of the last three decades \u2013 tracks that have, over time, been covered countless times by other artists. In reinterpreting these tracks, and their subsequent covers, Vestbirk explores how\u00a0 sounds can change and morph with each shift in authorship \u2013 like the final story told at the end of a game of telephone, a story that changes with each whisper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re not necessarily my favourite tracks,\u201d she says, when I ask what they mean to her. \u201cAnd they don\u2019t necessarily have any personal value to me, though some do certainly remind me of going to my first discos as a kid in Denmark. I was more interested in the collective memory associated with those songs and their wider impact and historical value on pop culture and dance music,\u201d she shares, my fascination toward the release growing with each word.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn music, it\u2019s a very non-typical thing to work with sounds that you don\u2019t artistically identify with,\u201d she continues. “It was a learning process, getting close to these materials and questioning why these particular tracks were hits and not others from that time. I was curious about the contexts in which they were made. Was it the timing that made them so successful or was it the artists themselves?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":112239,"id":112239,"title":"08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_06","filename":"08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_06.jpg","filesize":803452,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_06.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/looking-outwards-with-courtesy\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_06\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_06","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":112236,"date":"2023-12-07 10:53:07","modified":"2023-12-07 10:53:07","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":1272,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_06.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":85,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_06.jpg","medium-width":1920,"medium-height":1272,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_06.jpg","medium_large-width":1920,"medium_large-height":1272,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_06.jpg","large-width":1920,"large-height":1272,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_06-1536x1018.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1018,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_06.jpg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1272,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_06.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_06.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1920,"wpvr_mobile-height":1272}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"10","caption":"Photography by Clara Sartor."}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

Through <\/span>fra eufori<\/span><\/i>, Vestbirk continues to blur the line between DJ, musician, and performance artist, collapsing the boundaries between each. With one foot in contemporary art and the other in music\/club culture, Vestbirk\u2019s practice in either of those spaces is concerned with the idea of sharing space through performance. And, in doing so, dissolving this supposed boundary between artist and audience both in the club and in the gallery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Early last year, I went to a label night at Berghain, this one being Kul\u00f8r<\/a>\u2019s \u2013 Vestbirk\u2019s label-cum-multidiscliplinary studio. Under her alias, Courtesy began her set, and the euphoric sounds of <\/span>Night Journeys I <\/span><\/i>penetrated the cavernous dance hall, touching the skin and senses of all who moved upon the floor. Out from the middle of a crowd broke out a performance by a dancing collective choreographed by multidisciplinary artist Esben Weile Kj\u00e6r<\/a>. We all ushered into\u00a0 a circle around the dancers. In a state of awe, I watched as these bodies intertwined and interwove themselves within one another while collectively suspending one body in the air. Some were down upon the ground, others threw themselves up to signal their moment of collective suspension. I watched as they contorted their bodies in the most beautiful ways, touching each other so delicately and yet with such intensity. <\/span>It was then, in that moment, I understood that Vestbirk saw DJIng as a performance art that could exist in spaces within and far beyond the club context. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe aspect that I find really interesting about DJing,\u201d she tells me, “and I don\u2019t mean this in a voyueristic way but in a way of participation, is truly noticing how a room works and how people are affected by certain things. People don\u2019t realise, but I can see everything when I\u2019m playing a set. Once your eyes adjust to the dark, and if you are really paying attention, you can see so many dynamics unfold within this space. Within the art world, there\u2019s much more space potential for detail which allows me to extract those elements I find interesting on the dance floor and explore them in a new way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":112241,"id":112241,"title":"08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_01","filename":"08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_01.jpg","filesize":519984,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_01.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/looking-outwards-with-courtesy\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_01\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_01","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":112236,"date":"2023-12-07 11:12:01","modified":"2023-12-07 11:12:01","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":1273,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_01.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":85,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_01.jpg","medium-width":1920,"medium-height":1273,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_01.jpg","medium_large-width":1920,"medium_large-height":1273,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_01.jpg","large-width":1920,"large-height":1273,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_01-1536x1018.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1018,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_01.jpg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1273,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_01.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/08-2022_nv_studioportraits_final_01.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1920,"wpvr_mobile-height":1273}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"10","caption":"Photography by Clara Sartor."}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

Within this gallery context, Vestbirk\u2019s performances unfold in a way that feels emblematic of the dance floor \u2013 there remains this same sense of collective euphoria, collective consciousness that is so intrinsic to the act of dancing with other bodies.

These artists were invited to reinterpret five songs, adding another layer to and enriching the auditory and physical experience of the album and the idea of authorship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m always working with people that come from the club culture community, I\u2019m not hiring an actor to interpret what club dance music culture is. It\u2019s people I know, people that I\u2019m close to.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Working in closeness with people is a foundational element of the artist\u2019s upcoming video project \u2013 coinciding with a future release \u2013 which explores what it means to live and exist in a city as a young person. \u201cI was thinking a lot about albums that encapsulate this idea of existing in a city sonically, and one that always comes to mind is Burial\u2019s Untrue,\u201d she tells me. \u201cIt\u2019s a brilliantly produced record, and some tracks have intros of people talking. It has a real feeling of a sort of documentary, that you\u2019re in a city and not a studio. It\u2019s like sitting inside an apartment in London and you\u2019re feeling the melancholy and the loneliness and the beauty and the love that comes with it. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I\u2019m interested in getting closer to the people around me, to understand how they feel and navigate themselves through the city, and capturing this through sound and imagery. In a way, it\u2019ll be a very personal project but not because it\u2019s about me. It\u2019s personal in the way that Tillmans took photos of his friends,\u201d she shares.<\/span><\/p>\n

And in doing so, once again, looking outwards.<\/span><\/p>\n"}]},"yoast_head":"\nLooking Outwards with Courtesy - Sleek Magazine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/looking-outwards-with-courtesy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Looking Outwards with Courtesy - Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/looking-outwards-with-courtesy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-12-08T08:30:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-12-08T11:52:16+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
