The artist will be present.

Structured as a journey through a black hole, Ørjan Amundsen's latest video trilogy may be experienced as standing in the centre of one, in which a critical mass absorbs media at will. You may be cascaded with contemporaneity, in a manner warping the perception of time; still you fathom a fully formed language, which is part comprehensible, part beyond.

Ørjan Amundsen's artistic practice is characterised by the use of appropriation, re-editing and manipulation of pre-existing audiovisual, literary and musical material. His works are mainly composed as video works, in which text and soundtrack are carefully integrated. He is involved in the artist collective Phuture Club, and is also makes musical performances under the name A Promise. Amundsen received his BA from the Tromsø Academy of Contemporary Art (2014), and his MA from the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art (2016). He is currently based in Bamble, Norway.

Successful applicants have enough money, average applicants have enough to keep their mouths shut, and the unsuccessful ones are kept in check by the chance that they might get lucky in the future. One natural result has been the emergence of…

“A person must shake someone’s hand three times while gazing intently into their eyes. That’s the key to memorizing their name with certainty. It is in this way that I’ve remembered the names of 5,000 people who have been to the Horse Hospital,” Jim Hollands told me. Hollands is an experimental filmmaker, musician and curator. In his childhood, he suffered through tough social situations and…

We’re constantly hearing that someone would like to do some joint project, organize something together, some event, but… damn, how to put it... we really like what you’re doing but it might piss someone off back home. Sure, it’s true that every now and then someone gets kicked out of this institution or that institute for organizing something with Divus, but weren’t they actually terribly self…
