| Title: Cerith Wyn Evans |
| By (author): Cerith Evans |
| ISBN10-13: 8293101032 : 9788293101031 |
| With a background in experimental film and video art in the 1980s, Cerith Wyn Evans has primarily worked since the 1990s with spectacular installations where a number of media such as sculpture, photography, film, text, light and sound form natural elements. At Bergen Kunsthall the artist let the specificity of the spaces form the point of departure for an integrated installation which filled all four exhibition halls. With effects like light and sound, he explored the long stretch and the strict symmetry along the axis of adjacent rooms that is so characteristic of Bergen Kunsthallâ s exhibition architecture. The work with proportions is a central foundation in Wyn Evansâ art. At Bergen Kunsthall the experience of the vertical is underscored by a row of specially constructed columns which stress the dimensions of the space from floor to roof. The columns have been built with a large number of fluorescent tubes where old-fashioned filament technology also emits heat â thus making the temperature one of the exhibitionâ s central elements. Non-material but sensory qualities like light, heat and sound also help to link the four exhibition halls in an experience of horizontality â a totalizing extended spatiality from the smallest to the largest hall. The sound from several transparent flute sculptures also helps to emphasize the horizontal linkage between all the rooms, and fills the whole sequence of exhibition spaces with sound. |

| Title: Chaos as Usual |
| By (author): Hammer, Erlend Hammer, Elisabeth Byre Edited by: Hanne Mugaas, Erlend Hammer, Elisabeth Byre |
| ISBN10-13: 8293101105 : 9788293101109 |
| For the past ten years Bergen Kunsthallâ s fifth hall, the gallery and project space NO. 5, has been a venue for small solo exhibitions that run parallel with the main exhibitions of the Kunsthall. In autumn 2011, Bergen Kunsthall invited three Norwegian curators to mount a series of group exhibitions specifically for NO. 5. The three curators have different approaches to the art field, and work from different geographical bases. The first in the series was â Chaos as Usualâ curated by the New York-based Hanne Mugaas. This was followed by the exhibition â Oh How Time Fliesâ , curated by Erlend Hammer. The last exhibition was â No Sense of Placeâ , curated by Elisabeth Byre. In connection with these three individual exhibitions, Bergen Kunsthall published three exhibition catalogues in a joint release, spring 2012. The catalogues consist of newly produced texts that relate directly to the three different curatorial concepts, and photo documentation of the exhibitions in NO. 5. In total the three volume set, Chaos as Usual, Oh how Time Flies, No Sense of Place, presents the works of 20 artists through 12 texts and 66 illustrations.

| Title: Details |
| By (author): Delier, Burak Delier, Superflex Edited by: Tomic, Superflex, Milica Tomic, What, How & For Whom |
| ISBN10-13: 8293101059 : 9788293101055 |
| The point of departure for the exhibition and accompanying publication â Detailsâ is Slovenian theorist Rastko Mo?nikâ s collection of texts entitled â How Much Fascism?â . In the midst of the disintegration of Yugoslavia, Mo?nik related the conflicts and the rise of fascist forces to the structural consequences of the introduction and reconstruction of peripheral capitalism. Today, with an alarming right-wing ascendancy throughout Europe, we should direct our gaze beyond the â peripheriesâ and towards the core of liberal democracy. Mo?nikâ s basic postulate remains â the question is not â fascism â yes or no?â but â How much fascism?â . Open manifestations of fascism are fairly easy to recognize (just as more and more of them are appearing), but we need to turn our attention to the silent fascism that is becoming normalized through the systematic violence seeping into the laws and everyday administration practices of the nation states, and to assess the mechanisms of oppression and the various symptoms of contemporary fascism that are being presented as unavoidable, pragmatic necessities. In other words, we have to look at the details. |

| Title: Hanne Borchgrevink |
| By (author): Hanne Borchgrevink |
| ISBN10-13: 8293101040 : 9788293101048 |
| Throughout her almost forty years as an active visual artist, painting and prints have been Hanne Borchgrevinkâ s preferred media. In the course of time there has been an increasing concen¬tration in her oeuvre. Her principal subject, the house, has been perfected and reduced to a set of basic forms that are constantly meeting in new ways. Through the repetition of the same motif she has created a framework that makes it possible to work methodically and analytically with the categories colour, surface and perception. At the intersection of the figurative and the abstract she explores the fundamental qualities of the painted surface. |

| Title: In Other Words In Other's Words And Other Words |
| By (author): Vlatka Horvat |
| ISBN10-13: 8293101024 : 9788293101024 |
| Vlatka Horvatâ s artistic activities have roots in the performing arts and she works with references to both early performance art and Arte Povera from the 1960s and 1970s. Horvatâ s artistic project is process-oriented; she conducts repetitive investigations of spatial properties and relations. At Bergen Kunsthall the artist continues with her well-tried artistic strategy where the method is to pick existing things apart: to cut away, fold/bend or weave together photographic, textual or physical elements. This way she creates new, fictional possibilities for exploring the relations between space, body and object. For this exhibition catalogue Vlatka Horvat has invited curators, artists and writers with whom she has collaborated to pick out one of her works and write a brief textual contribution to the catalogue. The artist has then selected pictorial material that enters into a dialogue with the texts. The result is a compendium with documentation of Horvatâ s artistic output and othersâ related reflections. The publication can equally well be read as a notebook presenting various tendencies surrounding different readings of Vlatka Horvatâ s works. In this way the catalogue becomes a natural extension of the artistâ s other production. The book makes room for reflections and new angles of approach that shed light on the selection of works presented. |

| Title: Rosalind Nashashibi |
| ISBN10-13: 1900300621 : 9781900300629 |
| Rosalind Nashashibiâ s solo exhibition in Bergen Kunsthall was the largest presentation in Scandinavia so far of Nashashibiâ s work and covered her most important films from recent years, as well as photographic works. Nashashibiâ s films are poetic observations of everyday events. The camera dwells on the social interaction that arises in human relations where the actors seem to hesitate between simply â being themselvesâ and playing various socially defined roles. The artist makes effective use of the cinematic qualities of 16 mm film, and consciously uses the film mediumâ s quality to create a fundamentally time-based experience. Despite documentary restraint, Nashashibiâ s films are not documentary films. They are as much poetic film collages, coloured by a subjective camera eye where the artistâ s presence is always palpable. |

| Title: Untitled 2010 |
| By (author): Tomo Savic-Gecan |
| ISBN10-13: 8293101008 : 9788293101000 |
| Untitled, 2010 was an extensive project in two parts sited in two different art institutions. One part was in the gallery space NO. 5 in Bergen Kunsthall, the other â the exact mirror image of the first â was in the museum Jeu de Paume in Paris. Each of the parts consisted of an accurate reconstruction of an existing space in the Jeu de Paume building, but with one crucial difference: in each of the rooms one of the walls was mechanized so it could move slowly back and forth on an imperceptible scale in relation to each visitor who stepped into the other space. Each of the two rooms became a reflection of its counterpart, where motion in one room was initiated by visitors in the other room. |
