Kan vitenskapen lære noe av kunsten? Eller har kunsten mer å lære av
vitenskapen?

Bára Sigfúsdóttir viste forestillingen FLÖKT - a flickering flow på Studio Bergen 25. og 26. mars 2021. Etter siste forestilling inviterte vi til en kunstnersamtale med Bára.

I samtalen har vi fått med oss en ekspert på vær og klima, nemlig Thomas Spengler fra Universitetet i Bergen og Bjerknessenteret. Thomas er en meteorolog med fokus på utvikling av lavtrykk og polarmeteorologi samt vekselvirkning med hav og is. Han jobber mest med teori og modeller i sitt fagfelt, men han har også samarbeidet med flere kunstnere i regi av Bjerknessenteret, og vet hvem han snakker til når han snakker med
kunstfeltet.

En samtale på engelsk om natur, kunst og klima, om hvilken rolle kunsten kan spille i å forstå klimakrisen og hvilken rolle klimaeksperter kan spille i å opplyse kunstnere om virkeligheten. 

Arrangementet var støttet av Fritt Ord.

Bára Sigfúsdóttir - Kunstnermøte: samtale etter FLÖKT

20. april 2022, Bergen offentlige bibliotek.

EN:
In their project Gåologi (walkology) the artists wonder about the physical and psychological aspects of walking, what it does to our brain and how it changes our perceptions of the city and of the domestic space. The panelists will discuss points of reflections that came up during their walks, aspects of urban planning, meeting places, and the intersectionality of power relations when walking in the city. How our physical appearance change, how visible or invisible we are, where we can or cannot go, and how we feel at home in the urban space.

Speakers: Tina Sinclair together with the artists Alwynne Pritchard and Eva Pfitzenmaier.

Moderator: Maud Ceuterick

NO:
I prosjektet «Gåologi» har kunstnerne undersøkt fysiske og psykiske elementer ved det å gå, hvordan det påvirker hjernen og vår oppfatning av byen og privatsfæren. I denne samtalen vil paneldeltakerne diskutere noen tanker som kom i løpe av disse gåturene, tanker om byplanlegging, møtesteder, samvirket av maktrelasjoner som åpenbarte seg for dem mens de gikk. Hvordan vår fysiske fremferd endrer seg, hvor synlig eller usynlig vi er, hvor vi kan og ikke kan gå, og hvordan vi føler oss hjemme i det urbane rommet.

 Paneldeltakere: Tina Sinclair sammen med kunstnerne Alwynne Pritchard and Eva Pfitzenmaier.

As often occurs, these sound sketches had been left aside in order to pursue new and more exiting ideas. In 2023 I decided to honour them some definite form and to share them with the world.

During the period 2012 - 2019 when these these ideas emerged, I lived in an old and poorly isolated house. As firewood was essential to keep warm - chopping, drying, stacking and burning wood became an important part of my everyday routine. Consequently, sound samples from sticks and logs appear explicitly on “Hibiscus, wild” but are also hidden in several other tracks.

VINYL EDITION:

I a considering ordering a batch of vinyl pressing of this album,
but I need some help for this investment:

The first 20 downloaders who donate an extra 5€ (total 14€ per download)
will get a 50% discount offer on the 12” Moon vinyl LP once it is produced.

When the album has reached 20x downloads incl 5€ donations
I will start the process of ordering vinyl pressing.

Price for vinyl will be:
Regular price: 18 € (plus postage)
Discount price: 9 € (plus postage)

As I cannot guarantee that the vinyl edition will be produced or or how long time it will take,
there is an element of trust in this, that´s why I keep your risk low at 5€.

If I do not reach 20 downloads I will reconsider my options.
I will in any case not be able to return the 5 € donations in other ways than discount on this vinyl edition.

Bottom line:
If you dig this album, it should be worth investing an extra 5 € to make a vinyl dream come true.
I am positive it will happen!

Moon - album preview

The Making of Justice is a vulnerable portrayal of seven prison inmates who have been charged with murder. Through conversations with the inmates, Sarah Vanhee encounters individuals in impossible situations, and their reflections surrounding retribution and rehabilitation. The film establishes a subtle tension in relation to questions about the retributive justice system as well as society’s perception and treatment of those who have lived outside the law. After the screening of the film there was an artist talk between artist Sarah Vanhee and philosopher David Chelsom Vogt. The entire talk is in English.
