MARTE DAHL: Kroppsverk

Med utgangspunkt i kroppen, inviterer denne utstillingen publikum til å utforske hvordan objekter, materialer og omgivelser former bevegelse og interaksjon. Gjennom skulpturelle kostymer, installasjon og performative uttrykk, undersøker kunstneren hvordan materialenes egenskaper presenterer ulike muligheter og begrensninger for kroppen.

Utstillingen er et møtepunkt mellom kunstformer som koreografi, skulptur og lyd. Her presenteres omgivelsene som en forlengelse av kroppen, der objekter og materialer blir aktive medskapere i en kontinuerlig dialog mellom bevegelse, lyd og rom.

ANNIKA SELLIK: Soft Garden

This exhibition is part of an on-going research: "Soft Garden" on the sounds of the undercommons. The research explores relations between the embodiment of sound, spaces and resonance on the bases of communities as well as the individuals. An attempt to accent the voices of voiceless and their meanings in community building, such as observing bio-acoustics.

SOFT GARDEN is a sound installation embodying the sounds of the Undercommons. I will be using field recordings of a swarm in several multi-channel installations (controlled by Max), surface transducers placed on a floor, covered by salt (soaked in various shades by natural juices – from hand picked berries). So, the transducers, amplifiers, electricity converters and cables would not be seen – just the vibrating bodies of sculpted salt piles which become paintings on the floor.

As for using field recording of bees, I am referring to them as life providers and community builders and holders. The sound together with the sculpted salt will create the space on its own and become an api-therapeutic space, referring also to the problematics concerning bees (and other life providing endangered species) in contemporary climate and environmental context. The installation is site-specific and will follow the dynamics of the exhibition space as taking embody
