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.

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.
