Marita Isobel Solberg & Trond Ansten (NOR)

Marita Isobel Solberg is an international performance artist, musician, and visual artist from Tromsø and Manndalen, Norway. She is working in the borderline between art, life, and science, focusing mainly on sound, performance art, and installation. Experimenting with different media in her work and interweaving elements from the surroundings, Solberg’s work is often site-specific and relational, reinforced by a strong performative tension. The works explore a world of challenge, strangeness, melancholy, and desire sometimes with narrative passages or content, mixing with more symbolic and ritual elements.

Hidden Faces, 2016, 15 min 53 sec

Jóhan Martin Christiansen (Faroe Islands): “The three subject areas have met each other in the work; modern dance, theater, and visual arts. It is subjects that operate with different attitudes and platforms, and it has been a very productive negotiating situation. Language and memory are closely linked to body, rhythm, and movement, so dance points back to history, rituals and traditions. I like to explore through art how the past is stored in materials, in bodies, and in nature.”

Jóhan Martin Christiansen (Fääri saared): "Kolm teemat on üksteisega seotud; kaasaegne tants, teater ja visuaalne kunst. Tegemist on erinevate hoiakute ja platvormidega ning see on olnud väga produktiivne läbirääkimiste situatsioon. Keel ja mälu on tihedalt seotud keha, rütmiga ja liikumisega, nii et tants näitab näpuga tagasi ajaloole, rituaalidele ja traditsioonidele. Mulle meeldib kunsti kaudu uurida, kuidas minevikku hoitakse materjalides, kehades ja looduses. "

21.07.2018 ABANDONED HOUSE GALLERY - Window Sculptures

Watch the Stream 24/7 LIVE (Pärnu Artists House / Nikolai 27)

Abandoned House Gallery is a secret location somewhere in Estonia. Even the artists don't know where they perform or exhibit - they are taken to the secret place blindfolded and smartphones confiscated.

Hüljatud maja galerii on salajane asukoht kuskil Eestis. Isegi kunstnikud ei tea, kus nad esinevad või eksponeerivad - nad viiakse salajasse kohta kinnisilmi ja nutitelefonid konfiskeeritakse.
