Kunsthall Stavanger is proud to present Wave Table Concert, a new sound work by Norwegian artist Morten Norbye Halvorsen. Composed especially for and within Kunsthall Stavanger's main gallery, the work presents swathes of sound that crossfade between studio and field recordings, notation and improvisation, creating an immersive aural environment.

On the opening night, frequent collaborators Morten Norbye Halvorsen and Jessica Warboys will recite texts and poems set to music and light.

This exhibition has been made possible with generous support from Norsk Kulturrådet and Billedkunsterenes Vederlagsfond.
