Conversation with Øystein Hauge & Sissel Lillebostad.

As plastic pollutes the seas and forests burn, humans and animals are increasingly distanced from their natural habitats—and from one another. What does this mean for us? How does the loss of wildlife reshape our landscapes, both outer and inner? Can art, as seen in Koen Vanmechelen's work, serve as a meeting ground that offers a fresh perspective on our role within the global ecosystem?

Ruškkodit and Absent Presence
At Kunsthall 3,14, November 2020
An exceptional film was made during the exhibition period to mediate the artworks of Britta Marakatt-Labb, Hilde Hauan Johnsen, Kiyoshi Yamamoto, and Marie Skeie. The purpose of the film was to capture the concept, content, and site-specific mood of the exhibition. It was making the audience able to receive a more complete experience of the show if they did not have the chance to see it due to the Covid-19 situation or only by not being in Bergen. To achieve this, the musician Georg Buljo was invited to compose a joik for this exact exhibition. The subtitles in the film are part of the curatorial text written by Malin Barth. Filmed by the cinematographer Ben Speck and edited by Wessam Hachicho. Produced by Motaz Habbash. Sponsored by Norwegian Associaton for Art and Craft and Kunsthall 3,14.
Absent Presence

THE DANCE
PREMIERE
OKTOBERDANS
The Dance will premiere during Oktoberdans 2020, with a limited audience of 20 people per performance. This multidisciplinary, collaborative performance will be an intimate manifestation of the topics discussed in the streamed episodes of The House [Digital], and mirrors the discussions of The Festival. The audience will join nine transgender protagonists on a journey of erasing the boundaries between trans/not trans, performers/audience and stage/home, and experience the performance in first person. Playing with ideas of reality and fiction, consequences of choices, and what bodies are represented on stage, the performance proposes another way of producing beauty and generating desire. The Dance wishes to include, involve and acknowledge the society as a whole, and create a space where we have the courage to enter into the darkness and colour each other’s’ grey areas. In times of physical distancing, we aim for other forms of intimacy.
Protagonists: Christer André Gudmundsdottir, Koyote Millar, Isak Bradley, Bart Bloem Herraiz, Tonje Havstad, Joakim Eide, Barry de Bruin, Daniel Mariblanca

#WeAreMillions, a classical activistic photo exhibition and a campaign to demonstrate global support for WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange.

People wanted to stand up for the freedom of the press and the Spontaneous Art Group SAKén organized a public debate under the title 'Global Threats for Press Freedom'.

ANDY ROCKET AND THE FLYING FISH
01.06 - 08.09.2019
Andre Smoge is a local young man who has made his first carton about sustainability and we thought it perfect to include at this point in time!
The cartoon 'Andy Rocket and the Flying Fish' was designed and written by the Bergen-based Andre Smoge. The main character in the first episode is a 'Fjord Comboy'. He ends up owning a large and beautiful greenhouse that comes floating in the sea and at first, glance looks like a fish. At one point Andy Rocket ends up by the pier in Bergen. At this point he has fallen in love with the greenhouse, he has moved in and lives a self-sufficient happy life. Andy Rocket's life undergoes a great deal throughout the cartoon and we as readers learn a lot through what the protagonist himself is doing. Like, Nikola Tesla and Tibetan Levitation Inventions and how we can build a water purification system ourselves when we can't trust the system.
The comic Andy Rocket and the Flying Fish, episode I is 45 pages long and was produced over 50 days, and was completed the day before its launch at Kunsthall 3.14 in conjunction with the opening of the main exhibiton EVENT HORIZON.
A smoky fresh ink talking about exactly what we are all pondering hard these days. What happens now?

07.06 .2018. 19.00-21.00
PAB LOCAL
Curated by Performance Art Bergen/Gitte Sætre
The framework for the performance event in Daniel Wurtzel exhibition 'Shitstorm' talks about the human impact on the environment. Environmental challenges are difficult to relate to, but art can make it easier for us to mobilize and act. And the installation in the gallery space at Kunsthall 3.14 gives a human scale to something big and abstract.
Artists often create worlds of fiction in order for us to get to know, what we do not yet know.
Being a performance artist in Norway is perhaps one of the freest positions one can imagine. Kunsthall 3.14 together with Performance Art Bergen challenged the local performance scene through an Open Call with the question: what do they want to communicate?

3,14 TEXT PROJECT ON #METOO
01.02 - 1.04 2018
BY FORMER EXHIBITORS AND COLLEAGUES AROUND THE WORLD
In Norway, we declare #MeToo to be wide and deeply structured.
#MeToo has hit the public debate so hard that people in power are losing their positions in high numbers. It seems like something is happening and it seems to us that it´s NO mayfly. However, we live in Scandinavia a region said to be the most progressive democratic society where women are more equal to men than in other places around the world. Kunsthall 3.14 wrote former exhibitors around the world and asked how the #MeToo campaign is received in their countries.
We formulated three questions and send an e-mail to 15 artists covering all corners of the world and with their permission we post the comments.

SEMINAR
Brandon LaBelle is in collaboration with Kunsthall 3.14 doing a series of rough seminars, resulting in an exhibition to open October 2018. The Imaginary Republic looks at questions of public life and civic culture in today’s global environment, and how recent economic, social, and political unrest have led to an intensification of grass-roots initiatives, artistic activism, and forms of public commoning – what Stavros Stavrides terms “communities in movement”. The project aims to consider strategies for creative instituting and independent social configurations. Within this framework, questions about the public good and commonwealth are brought forward, allowing for a deeper inquiry into how art may work to reconstitute public power.
Seminar #2 is led by Ekaterina Sharova (art historian, curator, producer, educator) who will present her current research devoted to folk culture in Northern Russia, seen in the light of L. Vygotsky, J. Beuys, P. Bourdieu and P. Freire.

buy a 'small act in a big tale' Christmas present made by Syrian girls and boys at a school in Lebanon.
The children make sense of making nice things that others can hold in their hands and bring home. A macabre thing in many ways, but most of all, it's a small act in a big tale.
The money from the sale helps children through the winter and is an investment in the future!

As the latest round, BEK and 3,14 are delighted to present the video In the gaze of Panoptes, developed and produced in Bergen under 3,14´s artist in residency program, Circulating Air, in collaboration with BEK.

Recurrent characteristics present in her work are the depiction or staging of the absurd, the insistence in transforming functional objects into dysfunctional ones and the distortion of language in something ineffective, into its breakdown.
