Veronica Bruce & Jennie Bergsli

SOFT, INTERLUDE

Performance.
Presented by SCHLOSS, Curated by Ida Ekblad.

SCHLOSS presented a new performance by Veronica Bruce in collaboration with dancer Jennie Bergsli for Coast Contemporary.
Their practice merge principles and patterns of different contexts, and create repetitive states that allows for new readings as you reach beyond fatigue. In the performance Soft, Interlude, Bruce and Bergsli explores performing vulnerability. Both in the sense of the individual sensitivities and the collective notion of bodies as a landscape.

A K Dolven

Studio Visit
Studio Kvalnes, Vestvågøy

Artist A K Dolven invited us to her private artist studio, Studio Kvalnes in Lofoten. Here we were given a generous and personal introduction to her practice which is not limited by any one particular medium, but rather seeks and is successful in exploring the realms of painting, sculpture, video, text, film, photography, sound work and performance. Her works span the monumental and the minimal, the universal and the intimate.
