Anna Maria Łuczak showing at SOMA

Anna Maria Łuczak's films and sculptures embody the struggle of the emotional in understanding historical events. In recent works she explores possibilities of dialogue as a form of exchange. For her, conversation is a tool and a model for mutual set of conditions, whereby the usual roles of author and subject are shared and improvised. Meaning and form are constantly interchanged. Her research is driven by an interest in understanding past and how it is translated ...into present. As visual motifs she often works with archive video material and film, balancing on boarders between sculpture, literature, video and photography. In her installations the space between the individual works is just as important as the works themselves. Meaning is something fragmented which comes into being while the viewer moves through space.

 

Anna Maria Łuczak (b.1984, Łódź, Poland) studied in Willem de Kooning Academy (2005-09) and Piet Zwart Institute (2011-13). Lives and works in Rotterdam.
Recent exhibitions include: TENT Rotterdam, Villa Bernasconi Geneva, Kunstvlai Amsterdam Piknik Księży Młyn Łódź, Upominki Rotterdam, Three Artists Walk into a Bar Amsterdam, Obstruktionist Fribourg

I Am Still Within You exhibition and live performance



I Am Still Within You is devised by Eleanor Clare in collaboration with Kam Wan and Marcus Davidson.  It will be performed by Eleanor Clare, Johanne Birkeland Svendson, Natalie Sandtorv and Karoline Wallace. 

 

Singers move through the darkness.  At times they will be lit by the projections, but the emphasis will be on the affect of their voices on the space, and the movement of sound in relation to the projected images.  Nebula Fields, a sound piece by Marcus Davidson, will run durationally before and after the performance, with film by Kam Wan.  The audience can become immersed into this atmosphere.

 

More performance times may be added, please check website www.eleanorclare.com

Svikt

 

 

 

 

 

Utstillingen åpner 9. august og vises t.o.m. 16. august

 

Utstillingsåpning fredag 9. august kl. 18:00. Alle velkomne - fri adgang.

Kunstnerne sier om utstillingen:
"Svikt (Malfunction) is the result of a dialogue about the nature of systems, particularly the effectiveness and intrinsic deviation rate of any given system. All systems generate deviations at some point and uncontrollable variables increase the chances of discrepancies. However, what is defined as deviations will affect the frequency at which they occur."

Utstillingen er produsert med støtte fra Norsk Kulturråd, Billedkunstnernes Vederlagsfond og Bergen kommune.

Utstillingens åpningstider er kl. 12.00 - 16.00 hver dag. Fri adgang.

Screening: Hawkwind - Solstice at Stonehenge, 1984

Dillan Marsh, June Twenty-First, Entreé Bergen

Dillan Marsh presents the exhibition June Twenty-First at Entrée. As the title suggest the opening will be on the summer solstice, inviting you to participate in the marking of the longest day and shortest night of the year. In an immersive construction Marsh is activating a number of rituals and he employs commercial tactics like repetition, speed and distraction. The title is fixing the exhibition to a specific time and examines how we relate to the larger systems we are taking part of through participating in smaller events. Entrée finds itself re-branded and built into the concept of the work on show. Join us for June Twenty-First at 8pm!

Following the exhibition is a new Apis Press publication by Bjørn Mortensen with texts by Eleanor Clare. The exhibition will also contain a new edition of prints from collaboration with Patrick Wagner.

Dillan Marsh (b.1980, UK) lives and works in Bergen where he graduated from Bergen Academy of Art and Design in 2011. He has participated in exhibitions and projects internationally including Sculpture Space, Utica NY, Tag Team, Bergen and Künstlerhaus Dortmund.

Benjamin Entner, 'Ego Sum'

Ego Sum is a recent body of work exploring the boundaries and interplay between two- and three-dimensional methods of making. Specifically, the point at which a drawing can become form and an object can become representation. These works are made by drawing in a realistic fashion on fabric and then inflating it to make the drawing voluminous and sculptural. These works are made with a keen awareness to art historical precedents and are often a reference to or parody of the figurative work of Classical and Renaissance masters.  At SOMA I intend to create a monumental figurative water fountain mimicking those of the Baroque era.  The fountain will be made in a similar fashion to the Ego Sum project however, its figures will be outfitted with hoses and pumps so that they may ‘spit’ water.
