Participating in the Art Beijing 2010 Contemporary Art Fair

  I'm participating at the Art Beijing 2010 Contemporary Art Fair in the Artists Cinema, with my film "Tranquility Inverted" .
4.29 – 5.2 2010 - VIP PREVIEW : April 29(6pm – 10pm).

“Artists Cinema” is becoming a more and more popular concept nowadays with the prospering video art. As the first photo-video art fair in Asia, “Artists Cinema” invites 10 Asian contemporary video artists to participate the exhibition to follow their lens to feel the passion of video art in Asia.

My time as a member of The Hungry Hearts is over!

I've decided to quit as member of The Hungry Hearts performance band. It's not the happiest decision - I've really, really enjoyed my stay in the group, but there is a time for everything. I have a desire to move on with my own work! Well - it's not just a desire, it's a nessecity... In connection with this, I am moving to Berlin. THH was recently in Japan, and here is samples from the last shoot in Japan:























Thank you to all I've met during my time in The Hungry Hearts!

Why are artists poor

Alle innlegg i debatten som startet med Kronikken "Hvorfor er kunstnere fattige" i Klassekampen 11. januar 2010 kan lastes ned HER  (kunstkreditt.no).

Tæring vs. næring innenfor kunstfeltet:

kunstkreditt.no har laget en video som omhandler næringskjeden i kunstfeltet

kunstkreditt.no on Vimeo.Mer info: www.kunstkreditt.no

Kunstnere er utviklere og produsenter av kunst. Men for å kunne drive med kunst er kunstnere nødt til å leve som parasitter ... Parasitter på sine ektefeller, sin familie, eller på sine venner, osv. Samtidig opprettes det arbeidsplasser til andre yrkesgrupper..

Hva slags næringskjede er dette? Hhvor kommer gullpotten fra - og hvem får den?
