ANTENNE ANTENNE
The Master's students in Fine Art at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts present their work in a joint degree exhibition at Kunstnernes Hus. The exhibition is a conjunction of collective efforts through a radio show, a library, a self assembling publication station, a cabaret and performance programme orbited by individual contributions in the various spaces of Kunstnernes Hus.
A reason to reach out to people, to make it together and make it to share. Self-organize, without necessarily agreeing. Transmitting, making an infrastructure for relational effort.
About the exhibition
The title “Antenne, antenne” is Norwegian for both “antenna” and “light on fire/ignite”, giving flight to ideas of listening in, receiving a multitude of signals, and at the same time spark something; an uprising, a provocation, an energetic field, a leakage into the everyday adventures of real life. In the case of the master's degree show, it might spark or activate beginnings, ongoings and endings by self-organized effort, engaging in formats which by definition offers the group an invitation to listen in and reach out.
This ignition sparked the format of the radio station and listening space, the library, the stage, the interactive assembly of material into publication as the core, collaborative elements of the exhibition. Elements of the artists singular practices are spread in and around these structures, sometimes in fragments, sometimes as contained artworks residing in the in-between spaces and grand exhibition room at Kunstnernes Hus.
Pakkerommet hosts the radio- and listening station, the stage will commute between the restaurant and the exhibition space, and host a performance as well as a public program during the whole exhibition period. The library is intertwined with the self-assembling publication station and will also continue to develop during the exhibition period.
The exhibition spaces include the restaurant, the reception area, the lower gallery, the Academy Room, the basement toilets, Pakkerommet, as well as the corridors.
