Erik Friis Reitan - Teleportation (2024) Erik Friis Reitan
Teleportation is an artistc research Ph.d project at The Art Academy at The Art Academy - Institute for Contemporary Art at the Faculty for Art, Music and Design, University of Bergen, Norway. The project is focused on photography and installation and has spanned over four iterations: three exhibitions, and a final presentation. Through field trips and exhibitions, Erik Friis Reitan has explored how photography relates to absence and presence, and how such an exploration can be used to make immersive installations. As the project has developed, the installations themselves and in particular their evasiveness as absent or past events, has become a topic for Friis Reitan´s artistic research. Teleportation er et doktorgradsprosjekt innen kunstnerisk utviklingsarbeid ved Kunstakademiet - Institutt for Samtidskunst ved Fakultet for Kunst, Musikk og Design, Universitetet i Bergen. Prosjektet fokuserer på fotografi og installasjon, og har vært publisert gjennom fire ulike presentasjoner: tre utstillinger og en avsluttende presentasjon. Gjennom feltarbeid og utstillinger har Erik Friis Reitan utforsket hvordan fotografi forholder seg til fravær og tilstedeværelse, og hvordan en slik utforskning kan danne grunnlag for immersive installasjoner. Ettersom prosjektet har utviklet seg har installasjonene selv, og spesielt deres forgjengelighet som fortidige hendelser, blitt et tema for Friis Reitans prosjekt.

Silence surrounds us, silence around us – on creativity in communication (2024) Erika Matsunami
Silence surrounds us, silence around us – on creativity in communication, which interacts with and addresses the theoretical and practical exploring of the artistic research for Green x (2022 –). Simultaneously, it might be possible to create an artistic method of intervention artistically, which aims at the theoretical level evolutionally. Is language the tool? If it is yes, what kind of tool is the language? Through the language, what can we produce and provide? Thereby, I address the topic of creativity in communication in reading silently, speech, and listening. On creativity in communication is a play to draw models. Thereby the leitmotif is "reading". Critical seeing in a model on reading subjectivity and objectivity at the online artistic representational level, Question for on creativity The research objective(s) is a future idea for physical space and its mobility within virtual space (potentiality) for a new type of idea for notation between tradition and modernity. In this aspect, towards international communication gaps between tradition and modernity, DADA solved the issue of communication and explored a new way of communication, that was not a philosophical metaphor, but rather that consisted of semiotics and semantics in the context of design, was creative. – New visual and auditory codes. Thereby I deal with “Tractatus logico-philosophicus”, that is a logic of nonsense by Wittgenstein in the theme of space, body and time. "Silence surrounds us, silence around us" is an artistic research series, after "N.N-Zwischenliegend", I have been started to explore in 2020, after the corona-pandemic.

The Archeologist's Gaze (2024) Jehanne Paternostre
The Archeologist’s Gaze presents and reflects on a project on the restoration of ancient tapestries, following the award of a research grant to TAMAT (Museum of Tapestry and Textile Arts, Tournai, Belgium) in 2020-2021. After immersing herself in the museum's restoration workshop, looking for images, words, materials and gestures, Paternostre turned her attention to the reverse side of the tapestry. Studying the scraps of thread that had fallen to the floor, her vision of the tapestry was turned upside down, and the little bits of thread that gradually was picked up from the ground became the focus of the research. These details bore traces of many hands that had restored and repaired the tapestry over the centuries and told a story of care and attention, the inseparable opposite of monumental tapestries and mythical tales.

Srrjei – sörj ej att din sköna tid förflutit (2024) Ingfrid Breie Nyhus, Live Maria Roggen
What is a narrative, when it moves through time and history, when it moves through bodies? The narrative is always in danger of dying, until it is picked up and given new movement into new contexts. Where does the new begin? Where does the old one go? Vocalist Live Maria Roggen and pianist Ingfrid Breie Nyhus have over several years investigated duo music that was once romantic music. Through time, body, forgetfulness, fallibility – and improvisation as a method – the music has merged with the whims, derailments and backtracks of the inner sound and the duo's body. Where does the narrative live in the next moment?
