Pro tempore presents different contemporary artistic practices from the south coast region in Norway. In the centre of the exhibition is a long shared table, onto which several of the artworks are displayed. The table also functions as a meeting place, a place for workshops, collaboration, exchanges and cooperation. The exhibition presents several time-based works, including live radio, performance, film, video and sound installation, in addition to two ongoing projects throughout the exhibition period: The parallel university with a program of talks, lectures and discussions, and a drawing club which invites the public to come and draw together.

The experiences of the art institutions
- a panel conversation

Torpedo
Kunsthall Oslo

1 March 2012

The Norwegian Art Yearbook and Torpedo invite to a panel conversation with Audun Eckhoff, Per Gunnar Eeg-Tverbakk, Linus Elmes, Steffen Håndlykken and Randi Thommessen. The conversation moderated by Marie Nerland.

The participants represent a wide range of art institutions from artist-run places, a membership organization, private gallery to museum. They are gathered to share some of their experiences from their work with among others exhibition production and institution building. The goal is to create a conversation that cut across traditional boundaries in the art world, and that goes to the core of what it is like to work with contemporary art in Norway.

About the participants:

Audun Eckhoff is an art historian and director of The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design since 2009. Former director of the Bergen Art Museum (2002-2009) and curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art (1995-2002).

Marie Nerland is co-editor of The Norwegian Art Yearbook (2010, 2011, 2012). Since 2008 she has run Volt in Bergen.

Stefan Kaegi
- conversation and artist presentation

Tuesday 15 November 2011 at 21:00 at Kafe Knøderen
BIT Teatergarasjen

An evening with Stefan Kaegi from Rimini Protokoll. Rimini Protokoll is often announced as the inventors of a new form of documentary theatre, exploring a theatre of performers who are not professional actors but experts or specialists out of their particular spheres of life – professionals of a theatre of the real world. Rimini Protokoll consists, besides Kaegi, of Helgard Haug and Daniel Wetzel, who in various constellations have made theater-related work, live art, pieces for radio and installations together since 1999.

“Rimini Protokoll brings real life to the stage in a way that no other theatre form has been able to. The unmistakable strength of these performances lies above all in the fact that in spite of the proximity to the persons whom they portray a rift appears between the role and the personality, and with it an awareness of the risk, that life could gain the upper hand, and theatre could lose control over itself” (from Frankfurter Rundschau).
