I & We: Guided tour with artists and performative walk with “breath”

Join us for a guided tour of the I & We exhibition, led by curator Mika Drozdowska and participating Norwegian artists: Jeanne-Sophie Aas, Maia Birkeland, Lene Tangen, Heidi Kristiansen, Ida Siebke, Ruth Hol Mjanger, Maria Almås Frantzsen, Anna-Linda Gabriel. The guided tour will be followed by a performative walk.

The event will be held in English and will be translated into Polish.

The authors of the works presented at the exhibition use unconventional means of expression to stage situations and create objects. In this way, they draw attention to values based on balance and respect, rather than deepening divisions. They will reveal their artistic universes to us at an author-curator guided exhibition tour, to which we invite you on Saturday, March 25 at 1:00 pm.

After the guided tour, we aim to continue the theme of mindfulness during the performative activity Walking with Breath. Its authors, Ruth Hol Mjanger and Maria Almås Frantzsen, write about their activity:

“The performance will take the shape of an hour-long walk around the city, during which each participant will carry a glass shape that we have named Expression of Breath. This object captures the dialogue between the person blowing the glass and the reaction of the glass to that breath. The rapid transition from a liquid and hot state to a cold and hard state preserves this moment. This will become our starting point for exploration:

Surrounded by
air
breath
inside us
outside of us

How is this invisible community
Is to become visible?

With the Expression of Breath in our hands
how do we experience this shared invisible?”
