Landscapes of Shadow and Light
(2024)
Tone Saastad
Solarization: a partially exposed film is exposed to more light, with halo-like effects as a result. Solarization, Solaris, sun / shadow, light / darkness.
Colors are experiences of light, on surfaces that hit the eye with different wavelengths. Digital solarization evens out and inverts the colors. A small, superfluous, torn off silk remnant from a hand-printed textile work is the starting point for this two two-sided digitally printed textiles. Colors lose their brillians and darken in step with the light. No darkness without light, no shadow without sun. Two sides of the same coin.

At Cross Purposes, reflections on constellations
(2024)
Janne Schipper
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
(2024)
Lisa Streich, Ellen Kristine Ugelvik
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.
