Vestlandsutstillingen 2021
Project
7 – 31 October, 2021
We would like to use the Westland Exhibition 2016 to investigate what the local negotiations. More and more phenomena seem to move across cultural, geographical and national borders. New network forms and electronic cloud formations create clusters and groupings that were previously unimaginable. The local has changed nature.
At the same time, the production of meaning occurs locally and cannot happen in forums that we perceive as central. Depictions of secret circumstances form a fairly unbroken line in art. Is it relevant for you to be where you are to investigate what you want? We wonder if the close and secret can gain a new relevance; - not to elevate history, but as an attempt to locate ourselves here and now.
