PNEK is collaborating with La Société de Curiosités in Paris to let emerging Norwegian artists make small showcases in Paris, focussing on sound & performance works. The series will consist of 8-10 concerts during the spring.
These dates are confirmed so far (more soon):
Feb 24: Signe Lidén
March 10: Andreas Meland
March 24: Jenny Hval (aka Rockettothesky)
More info (in French) here
We have designed a handy little 48-page brochure in A6-format, which comprises some of the activities planned for 2010 among the PNEK nodes, plus links and other useful info about festivals and friendly structures in Norway. We’ll bring it along wherever we go during the spring, e.g. the Rotterdam Film Festival (Jan 28-Feb 3), Transmediale (Berlin, Feb 3-7), Sonic Acts (Amsterdam, Feb 25-28), and the Qwartz Awards (Paris, April 1-3). The snappy design is made by our friends @ Upstruct Berlin/Oslo.
We’ll happily send you one or more copies by post, just send us an email. Or you can download the folder here (< 18 Mb, pdf)
Peter Sinclair, english sound artist based in Marseille, will give a short presentation of his work at the Art Academy in Bergen, C Sundts gt 53 on friday Oct 9th, 2pm-4pm.
Sinclair is one of the founders of the Locus Sonus soundlab, co-hosted by l’École Supérieure d’Art en Provence, Aix, and Villa Arson, Nice.
He has just started an artistic PhD-program at the London University of the Arts, under the leadership of Angus Carlyle.
The presentation is given in connection with an informal PNEK network meeting in Bergen, culminating with the exhibition opening Blink by HC Gilje, who is just about to complete his three year artistic research fellowship program at Bergen Academy of the Arts.
