A new filigrane sound object (or series of objects) in the making, w.i.p.

A cross disciplinary artistic research project that departs from, and investigates several encounters and alignments between Contemporary Art and Archaeology. Its primary goal is to create a broad selection of autonomous and collaborative artistic, poetic and scientific expressions and responses to Prehistoric Art and its contemporary images. It will seek to stimulate a deeper understanding of contemporary and prehistoric artistic expression and the contemporary and prehistoric human condition. The participating artists and archaeologists will create autonomous projects, but also interact with each other in workshops, seminars and collaborative artistic projects. The secondary goal of Matter, Gesture and Soul is to establish an international cross disciplinary research network at the University of Bergen and strengthen the expertise in cross disciplinary artistic and scientific work with artistic research as the driving force. The project is financed by DIKU and UiB and supported by Global Challenges (UiB)

Lintuihin liittyvän taiteellisen tutkimukseni kohdalla pohdin ensin lintukatoa ja voisinko taiteen avulla tukea lintuja pesinnän onnistumisessa. Jossain matkan varrella huomasin, etten tiennyt keitä nämä linnut ovat, joiden kanssa pyrin toimimaan. Halusin ystävystyä pihani lintujen kanssa, oppia tuntemaan niitä. Rakensin "lintukopin", jossa vietin aina puoli tuntia kerrallaan. Olen kuvannut nämä puolituntiset ja kirjannut kokemuksista oleellisimmat seikat ylös.

Expositionen är en del av forskningsprojektet "Scenkonstproduktion med reducerad klimatpåverkan".

When gazing at the night sky together with someone, it can be challenging to guide the other person’s attention to a specific star or cluster. To completely follow the alignment of the eyes and the tip of the index finger to the object in mind would require us to climb into the other, to see the world through their eyes. How do we know if we have the same star in mind as the person next to us? Are we talking at cross-purposes? At Cross Purposes, reflections on constellations, comprises three texts by different authors on language, narrative, sign and signification, as well as poetry and anxiety in art.

PLAN TO UNPLAN is the work around the book BOOK OF CHORDS that serves as both artistic result and reflective component on several pieces I wrote between 2019 and 2024. The work touches thoughts about precariousness in music making and musical writing and the differences in chamber musical writing and orchestral writing. In the realms of these pillars there is a strong focus on expressions found in chords. Chords, sung mostly by amateur choirs and found on the internet.
